President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech throughout the AK Party’s Eid al-Adha greeting program, organized by way of videoconference with the get together’s provincial organizations from 81 cities.
Here are the highlights from President Erdoğan’s speech:
“We are observing Eid al-Adha during a time when massacres are taking place in the Palestinian territories. For 76 years, the Palestinian people have been subjected to occupation, oppression, and systematic massacres, experiencing yet another somber holiday, and longing for peace.
The pain of our brothers and sisters martyred by genocidal Israel breaks all of our hearts. The world must take action against Israel’s bloodthirstiness and immediately put an end to the Gaza massacres that we witness daily. We continually point a finger at the necessity of stopping Gaza butcher Netanyahu.
We clearly expressed this to our counterparts in Italy at the G7 summit and have mobilized our resources to hold the perpetrators of genocide accountable. We have completely halted our trade dealings to pressure the Israeli government into a ceasefire. Our humanitarian aid continues. We are working to increase the number of countries recognizing the State of Palestine.
We do not remain silent about the other tragedies in the Islamic world, including Gaza. We continue our efforts to stop the fraternal conflict in Sudan. We rush to the aid of the oppressed. God willing, we will continue to stand tall and be the voice of the oppressed. Eid is about solidarity and embracing one another.”
