President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke at the Şehit Mustafa Cambaz Photography Competition award ceremony. Erdogan, who focused on Israel's oppression in Gaza, also criticized the Islamic world.

President Erdogan made important statements regarding Israel's massacres in Gaza during his speech at the Şehit Mustafa Cambaz Photography Competition award ceremony.

"WHATEVER IS HAPPENING, IT IS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF ALL OF US"

Erdogan said, "If the night of July 15th revealed some masks, it has also led to the lifting of many curtains in Gaza since October 7, 2023. Those who give us lessons on press freedom have revealed their true faces. Whatever is happening, it is happening in front of all of us, in front of all humanity. Those who remain indifferent to Gaza do not feel the need to hide their heartlessness and two-faced policies. Those who covered the Gezi events live suddenly disappeared when it came to Gaza. Nearly 150 journalists lost their lives in Israeli attacks. Journalists were murdered." he said.

"WESTERN MEDIA CONTINUES TO PLAY THE THREE MONKEYS SINCE OCTOBER 7"

Erdogan said, "The offices of international media organizations were raided by the police. While all this was happening, no visible reaction came from any Western media institution except for a handful of brave people. They did not see the genocide, they did not hear the cries of the oppressed. Since October 7, they have continued to play the three monkeys. In order to support Israel, they buried the values they defended in mass graves in Gaza with their own hands." he said.

"THE ISLAMIC WORLD HAS NOT PASSED A SUCCESSFUL TEST IN GAZA"

Erdogan also criticized the Islamic world, saying, "Not only international organizations but unfortunately the Islamic world has also not passed a successful test in Gaza. I believe that as Muslims, we need to hold ourselves accountable. In the future, just like it has been for the past 76 years, Israel will not give up killing and shedding innocent blood." he said.

"WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY OUT THAN TO SHOW COURAGE TO FACE IT"

In his continued speech, Erdogan said, "Western powers will continue to unconditionally support Israel under the influence of the shame of the Holocaust. The UN Security Council will not take any steps. How will the Islamic world overcome oppression and tyranny? We have no other way out than to show courage to face it. I believe that the sooner we question this, the better it will be." he said.

"THEY COULD NOT ACHIEVE THEIR SNEAKY AND BLOODY AMBITIONS"

President Erdogan also spoke about the July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day. Erdogan said, "They could not achieve their sneaky and bloody ambitions. They had calculated everything down to the smallest detail. They had managed to hide themselves by disguising in 40 different forms for 40 years. They thought they would invade Turkey and seize the will of the people. The 40-year preparation and plan were in vain in just a few hours." he said.

"WE WILL UPHOLD THE SPIRIT OF JULY"

Erdogan said, "We have shown once again that Turkey will not be taken over by imperialists' lackeys, and that the will of the people will not be chained. Those who ran to ATM queues instead of the squares on the night of July 15, those who still slander the epic of the people, those who try to make us forget the resistance of July 15, those who cannot forget the deep disappointments they experienced that night, even if they don't want to, we will uphold the spirit of July 15." he said.

Erdogan added: "On Monday, we will commemorate 252 heroes with various activities in all 81 provinces. May God be pleased with all the heroes. May their souls rest in peace. I leave those mankurts who try to overshadow the epic of July 15 in order to pay off their debts to FETO leaders to the conscience of the people."
