Turkey stands with 'the oppressed and against the oppressor', Erdogan says

“When we stand up for our Palestinian brothers and sisters, we stand up for humanity as a whole, for freedom, justice, and peace,” Erdogan said in an address at the 8th Anatolian Media Awards ceremony in Ankara on Wednesday.

He also reiterated that Turkey, which has provided aid to Gaza in the last months and suspended trade with Israel, will continue to stand in solidarity with “the oppressed and against the oppressor”.
