Erdoğan slams Israel’s move on 1915 events
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has rejected Israel’s decision concerning the 1915 events, accusing the Israeli government of trying to use history for political purposes amid the war in Gaza.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting at the presidential complex, Erdoğan said Türkiye did not take Israel’s accusations seriously.
“We do not take the slanders of a murder network, whose hands are stained with the blood of 73,000 innocent Gazans, most of them children and women, against our country even slightly seriously,” Erdoğan said.
“There is no oppression, massacre, colonialism or genocide in our history. There is mercy in our glorious history,” he added.
