President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is in New York for the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, met with Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany at the Turkish House.
The meeting addressed bilateral relations between Türkiye and Germany, Israel's systematic attacks on Palestinian territories, particularly Gaza, revitalizing Türkiye's European Union membership process as well as regional and global issues.
Stating that Türkiye and Germany are two allies with deep-rooted relations and ties and that efforts to develop cooperation in every field, utilize opportunities, and diversify them are ongoing, President Erdoğan stressed that Türkiye is ready for steps that will benefit both countries.
Pointing out that it is necessary to revitalize relations between Türkiye and the European Union, President Erdoğan remarked that Germany is expected to provide support, particularly for the visa issue to be resolved as soon as possible.
Stating that Israel seeks to expand its cycle of violence and sees no harm in violating international law and human rights, President Erdoğan added that the support of Western countries, in particular for Israel, caused unprecedented massacres in Gaza and made Israel even more reckless.
