Erdoğan's Embarrassment: We Have Mobilized All Our Resources to Liberate Our Region from This Trap

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan referred to the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran, criticizing Tel Aviv, while also speaking about the tensions in the wider Gulf region. “Unfortunately, the tension in our region is constantly expanding and growing. To the turmoil caused last week between Afghanistan and Pakistan was added the air raid against Iran, which was organized with the movements of the Zionist lobby. The attack on Iran was the result of the propaganda of the Zionist lobby. In addition, missile and kamikaze drone attacks against the brotherly countries of the Gulf have further deepened the unstable situation in the region. Unfortunately, these days, the lands of our region continue to be watered with blood and tears,” said the Turkish president, speaking at an event in Ankara. “While these events unfold in various parts of our geography, Turkey continues with determination its efforts for peace, prosperity and stability in the region. We have taken and continue to take all necessary measures to protect our country and nation from these threats. Through diplomacy focused on peace, we are making great efforts to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation, in a fair and honest manner,” Erdoğan added. “Before more blood is shed, before the flames spread even further and before enmity between brotherly countries intensifies, we have mobilized all our resources to liberate our region from this trap as soon as possible.”
