In… the geography of the heart, he was mentioned once more Recep Tayyip Erdoganin his statements after the cabinet meeting, as reported by the SKAI correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis.

“The task of making humanity’s voice heard against the atrocities in Gaza now rests on Turkey’s shoulders. Turkey’s political and cultural borders are not defined by its official borders, but encompass a much wider area, from the Adriatic Sea to the Great Wall of China. Yahya Kemal, one of our country’s leading political and literary figures, said the following after the loss of Skopje, which he considered an extension of Bursa and in which he was born and raised: “Even if the separation lasts many years, even if we’re not there, you [πόλη] you are with us.” Indeed, we feel the same about every centimeter of land,” he emphasized the president of Turkey and added:

“In the geography of our heart. If we begin to treat these geographies as if they are outside of us, then the homeland is also at risk. Thus, if we do not react to what is happening in Gaza today, we will not be able to prevent the fanaticism of the ‘Promised Land’ invaders from spreading to our lands tomorrow. For this reason, we say that every event that happens in the four corners of our geography, from the Balkans to the Caucasus, from the Black Sea to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, concerns us directly. The place of Karabakh in our hearts and the place of Gaza in our hearts is the same, just as we do not distinguish between Bosnia and Aleppo, Tripoli and Balch [σ.σ. Αφγανιστάν, αρχ. Βάκτρα]Thessaloniki and Mosul, so we see Jerusalem the same as our own cities.
