Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated today that Israel has already surpassed the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler by killing more than 14,000 innocent children in the Gaza Strip.
Addressing the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) parliamentary group in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Erdogan said that Israel, with unconditional support from the West, is carrying out massacres that are a dark stain in human history, both in Gaza and the West Bank.
Emphasizing that no one can question Turkey’s sensitivity to the Palestinian issue, Erdogan said that the Palestinian cause has given new meaning to his life.
“I will continue to defend the struggle of Palestine, to be the voice of the oppressed Palestinian people, and even if I were to remain alone on this path,” Erdogan said.
The Turkish president compared the struggle of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas to Turkey’s war for independence over 100 years ago.
