Delivering remarks following the Presidential Cabinet Meeting, President Erdoğan said: “We don’t harbor animosity against anyone categorically. We, quite the contrary, wish to continue our path as an independent, stable and prosperous state in the difficult geography we are located in. Never will we allow this to be hampered. Those concerned by our country’s growing strength and its efforts for the establishment of peace and stability in the region cannot deter us.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a press conference following the Presidential Cabinet Meeting at the Presidential Complex.
“We will not allow anyone to orchestrate an operation targeting these lands that we made home for ourselves amid the clatter of swords. Nor can we remain a bystander to the hostile steps in our region that are aimed at encircling our country. Türkiye doesn’t oppose any country, any society, any faith or any culture, and it is simply unthinkable for it to do so. Yet, Türkiye also stands against any illegality, any injustice and any tyranny, no matter who it comes from, and it will continue to do so. Let me reiterate that we don’t harbor animosity against anyone categorically. We, quite the contrary, wish to continue our path as an independent, stable and prosperous state in the difficult geography we are located in. Never will we allow this to be hampered. Those concerned by our country’s growing strength and its efforts for the establishment of peace and stability in the region cannot deter us,” President Erdoğan said.
