Haluk Levent: (Regarding the Alawite massacre in Syria) “Just as we opposed the Hama Massacre, just as we raised our voices against the genocide in Gaza; we stand with the same determination against the massacre of Alawites, Christians and Druze. The reports of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reveal the massacre that is taking place. 979 dead. The oppressed have no religion, language, race or sect; we always stand on the side of the oppressed. On the other hand, it is reckless to draw Israel into the mix for a solution. Israel is responsible for the great genocide that is still ongoing in Gaza.”
President Erdoğan: Our brothers in our neighboring Syria are spending the month of Ramadan without bombs raining down on them for the first time in 14 years. Likewise, our brothers in Gaza are experiencing the month of Ramadan, albeit amidst ruins, after 471 days. The power centers that feed off the instability of the Islamic geography do not sit idle. They are causing conflict in many places, from Africa to Asia, from the Middle East to the Balkans. We have seen the latest example of this with the actions of terrorists who are remnants of the regime in our neighboring Syria.
