Emine Erdogan writes to Melania Trump after the US first lady’s letter to Russian President Putin about children in Ukraine and Russia.
The Turkish first lady, Emine Erdogan, has sent a letter to United States President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, urging her to contact Israel’s prime minister and raise the issue of Gaza children’s plight.
Emine, the wife of Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, wrote on Friday that she was inspired by the letter Melania sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month about the state of children in Ukraine and Russia.
According to Turkiye’s state media, Emine said the sentiments expressed in the American first lady’s letter to Putin reflected a conscience deeply attuned to global issues.
Erdogan praised Melania’s stance, writing, “As you stated in your letter, every child has the universal and undeniable right to grow up in a loving and safe environment.”
