HE GAVE A HISTORY LESSON TO NETANYAHU

The strongest response to this genocide that has been ongoing for 23 months comes from the Turkish nation and the Republic of Turkey. We are not a state that has just emerged on the historical stage. On the contrary, as the Republic of Turkey, we are a nation with more than 2,000 years of experience and accumulation in our memory card. Some people come out and supposedly throw words at us. They try to give us a history lesson. However, we ruled for centuries in the lands where those who provoke us came just 2-3 generations ago; we were the sword of justice.

Friends, do not forget that we are the hosts in this geography. We have been here for a thousand years, and God willing, we will be here until the Day of Judgment. We will achieve the goal of a Turkey without terrorism. We will write a new epic of brotherhood. We will disrupt the games once again. In defiance of those who try to divide us, we will hold on to each other and embrace. And we will speak the language of empathy," he said.
