President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is in New York for the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, met with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres at the United Nations Headquarters.
Stating during the meeting that the genocide committed by Israel in Palestinian territories is a new source of shame for humanity, President Erdoğan remarked that the international community must act with one voice to stop Israeli massacres.
Stating that Türkiye closely follows the genocide case filed against Israel at the International Court of Justice and would take part in it, President Erdoğan said that the conditions in Gaza are becoming even more severe with the approach of winter, diseases are on the rise and that, therefore, more efforts should be exerted to increase humanitarian and medical aid to Gaza.
Stressing that the Turkish Cypriot side demands its rights, such as sovereign equality and equal international status, to be registered and that possibilities for solutions other than the federation model could be discussed in a meeting under the auspices of the UN with the participation of the parties, President Erdoğan pointed out that the recognition of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a state would be the key to a solution that takes into account the realities on the island.
