Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said today that “if were it not for the unconditional support for Israel from some Western countries, especially the US, it would not have been possible to start or continue the genocide carried out by Israel in the region”, reports CNN-Turk TV, quoted by BTA.
Fidan, who spoke in Ankara at a joint press conference with the Cambodian foreign minister, said that “Israel is constantly carrying out the most cruel and inhuman activities possible”.
„We sincerely believe that this genocide will not go unpunished,” said the Turkish foreign minister.
Although the international community has been slow to recognize the Palestinian state, there is now a more positive atmosphere, Fidan also noted, quoted by Anadolu Agency.
The Turkish foreign minister will visit Madrid tomorrow on the occasion of the official recognition of Palestine as a state by Spain, the state news agency informed.
