Erdoğan to Netanyahu: You’ll end up like Hitler

from Daily Sabah

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stepped up his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Zionist regime. “Those following in the footsteps of Hitler will end up as all tyrants did throughout history,” he said at an event in Ankara on Thursday.

At the Congress and Culture Center of the Presidential Complex in Ankara, Erdoğan hosted an awards ceremony of the Turkish Red Crescent Society. The president heaped praise on one of the oldest charity organizations of Türkiye and outlined its international aid efforts. As he spoke about the Red Crescent’s efforts to deliver more than 26,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Erdoğan also continued his scathing criticism of the Zionist regime of Israel. Erdoğan, who called on the world to stop Israel in a speech on Wednesday, this time called upon the world to hold the Netanyahu administration accountable for the crimes it has committed.

Erdoğan likened the Zionist regime’s attacks across the region to “a shark smelling blood.”

“Eventually, they will pay for their crimes,” he stated.

The president noted that Türkiye both extended its helping hand to those affected by Israel’s attacks and exerted efforts for “this network of murderers to be held accountable.”

“Under its current administration, Israel is nothing but a factory producing instability and chaos, feeding upon blood and tears,” the president stated...

Why does Erdogan want a new constitution?

from RT

Earlier this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan used a ceremony marking the 158th anniversary of the Council of State and Administrative Justice Day to renew his call for a new constitution.

At the heart of Erdogan’s speech was a simple but powerful claim: Türkiye’s last two constitutions – the 1961 and 1982 charters – were not the product of free popular will. Instead, they were imposed by military regimes that came to power through coups. As a result, Erdogan argued, neither constitution truly reflected the will of the people or rested on a genuinely democratic foundation.

The president went so far as to describe this legacy as a “democratic disgrace,” insisting that correcting this historical injustice is not merely a political preference but an obligation owed by the current leadership to Turkish society. In doing so, Erdogan elevated the constitutional debate from the realm of ordinary political proposals to what he framed as an urgent national imperative.

He drew a sharp distinction between two fundamentally different approaches to constitution making. The first is a top-down process in which a constitution is drafted and imposed by military rulers, political elites, or narrow interest groups. The second is a bottom-up process in which it emerges from the values, expectations, and aspirations of society.

Erdogan has positioned himself firmly in the second camp, arguing that Türkiye needs a constitution that is “inclusive, liberal, and civilian” – written by the people and for the people. In his view, the authority to create a constitution belongs exclusively to the nation, and no state institution or political faction has the right to appropriate that power...

Turkey’s Erdogan: Israel must not be allowed to sabotage US-Iran ceasefire

from PressTV

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned against the Israeli regime’s attempts to sabotage a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, saying that Ankara will push for an extension of the truce and ensure peace talks continue in Pakistan.

Addressing a parliament session on Wednesday, Erdogan said that the Israeli prime minister’s cabinet, “which is known to be unhappy with the ceasefire process, must not be allowed to sabotage it.”

The Turkish leader said that his government is making the “necessary appeals and initiatives” to ease tensions and extend the ceasefire, which is set to expire on April 20.

The two-week ceasefire, announced last week, 40 days after the US and the Israeli regime launched their war of aggression against Iran, provided a fragile window for diplomacy. It will expire on April 22...

President Erdoğan warns Israel pushing region toward disaster

from Daily Sabah

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday slammed Israel’s leadership for acting with a sense of superiority and warned that its actions are dragging the region step by step toward a broader disaster.

"We all know that the attacks targeting Gaza first, then Yemen and Lebanon, and most recently Iran, are not solely motivated by security concerns,” Erdoğan said at an iftar event with journalists at the Presidential Complex in the capital Ankara.

Erdoğan said the global system established after World War II is undergoing a historic rupture, stressing the need to convey the realities on the ground to the international community. He said a destructive war led by Israel is currently unfolding in the region, where innocent children are being killed in schools and civilians are being forced to flee lands they have inhabited for centuries...

Laying groundwork for Palestinian statehood

from Daily Sabah

In Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, a “Statement of Intent” document was signed. The significance of this document lies in the fact that it represents a “strong and joint declaration of will” with the participation of most countries in the region, as well as the attendance of Western leaders.

The document bears the signatures of U.S. President Donald Trump, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. These signatures carry the potential to pave the way for diplomatic progress aimed at bringing lasting peace.

Erdoğan, after stating that “it would be wrong to regard the agreement as a document that solves the Palestinian issue,” once again emphasized that the only solution lies in “the establishment of an independent, sovereign and territorially contiguous Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders.”

The declaration sets out a general framework. It is not an agreement text that produces a lasting solution to the Israeli question. However, it is important in terms of creating pressure for the smooth advancement of the second and third phases of the Gaza Plan and for Israel to keep its promises...

Türkiye welcomes steps to recognize Palestinian state: Erdoğan

from Daily Sabah

Türkiye welcomes recent steps taken to recognize a Palestinian state by France, Britain and others, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Thursday, vowing to work to put more pressure on Israel to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

"We find the recent humanitarian reactions coming from Europe, particularly from France and Britain, very valuable. We welcome every step taken toward recognition of the State of Palestine," Erdoğan said.

"One of the most effective responses to Israel's genocide policy is to support the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders," he told a joint news conference with Gabon President Brice Oligui Nguema in Ankara.

His remarks came after multiple countries in recent days announced their intentions to recognize an independent Palestinian state, as part of a broader global shift against Israel's attrocities in Gaza.

The moves have come as international concern and criticism have grown as starvation and famine are taking place in Gaza and Palestinians are not getting food due to Israeli blockade.

The leading international authority on hunger crises this week said Israel's military offensive and blockade have led to the "worst-case scenario of famine" in the territory...

Ankara condemns Israeli parliament’s call to annex occupied West Bank

(Imagine that. The 'Jewish State' voting to steal some shit from other people. What are the odds?)

(But we are told over and over and over again it's all about Hamas. It's all about Oct. 7th. It's all about Jews feeling safe. Turns out all of that is bullshit. They knew before Oct. 7th and let it happen anyway so they could use it as cover to launch Greater Israel plan in earnest. And this is the West Bank. Hamas doesn't run the West Bank. They just want to steal the land and the West Bank, thanks to Vichy Fatah and PA is the easiest mark to start with. Plus, they figure, America is distracted by Trump and Epstein so... never let a crisis go to waste.) 

from Daily Sabah

Türkiye has strongly condemned the Israeli parliament's recent resolution urging the government to annex the occupied West Bank, denouncing the move as a flagrant violation of international law and a dangerous provocation.

In a written statement issued Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry declared the resolution “null and void under international law and without any validity,” stressing that the West Bank is Palestinian territory that has remained under Israeli occupation since 1967.

The ministry criticized the move as part of broader efforts by Israel to undermine peace and destabilize the region.

“Any Israeli attempt at annexation is illegitimate and provocative,” the statement read, warning that Israel's “violent policies and unlawful actions” are not only worsening the humanitarian crisis but also threatening international order and regional security.

Türkiye calls on the international community to take immediate and concrete steps to halt Israel’s actions, the statement said.

“Binding and deterrent measures must be taken without delay against genocidal Israel’s aggression; the legal and moral obligations of the international system must be effectively fulfilled,” the statement urged.

Earlier this week, the Israeli parliament voted in favor of a resolution calling on the government to annex the West Bank – territory internationally recognized as occupied Palestinian land. Of the 120 Knesset members, 71 supported the resolution, 13 opposed it, and the rest abstained.

The resolution claims the West Bank as “the historical, cultural and spiritual homeland of the Jewish people and an inseparable part of the Land of Israel.”...

Erdoğan says Netanyahu surpassed Hitler with Gaza genocide

from Daily Sabah

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, saying the Israeli premier has “surpassed Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler" with attacks that have killed more than 59,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in nearly 20 months.

"Whoever remains silent about genocide in Gaza is complicit in the crimes against humanity committed by Israel," Erdoğan told the opening ceremony of the 17th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF 2025) at the Istanbul Expo Center in Istanbul.

"The plight of children in Gaza, who are skin and bones from hunger because humanitarian aid is not allowed in, is also our plight," he said. “No one with even a shred of human dignity can accept this cruelty (in Gaza), where dozens of innocent people die every day due to lack of bread or water.”

Türkiye’s goal is to establish a cease-fire as soon as possible, he said, adding that allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza is another priority.

"In these dark days, when mass deaths from hunger have begun, I call on the entire international community to unite on the side of humanity," Erdoğan stressed...

Netanyahu ‘has surpassed Hitler’ – Erdogan

from RT

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has condemned Israel’s aggression in Gaza and ongoing attacks on Iran, comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler.

Israel began bombing Iran on Friday, claiming Tehran is nearing the completion of a nuclear bomb. Iran dismissed the accusations. The Turkish president said it has the legal right to respond to Israel’s attacks. This is not the first time Erdogan has issued hostile remarks toward West Jerusalem, accusing it of engaging in “banditry and state terrorism.”

Speaking to members of his ruling AK Party in Parliament on Wednesday, Erdogan stated: “The most horrifying photos and videos from World War II pale in comparison to what we’re seeing from Gaza,” claiming that Netanyahu has “long surpassed the tyrant Hitler in the crime of genocide.”

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar shot back at Erdogan. “The sultan, in his own eyes, in yet another inflammatory speech, continues to incite against Israel and against the Israeli prime minister,” he wrote on X...

Israel’s attack threatens regional stability: President Erdoğan

from Daily Sabah

Israel has taken its strategy of drowning the region, especially Gaza, in blood, tears and instability to a very dangerous stage,” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Friday, condemning the attack on Iran.

“Israel's attacks on our neighbor Iran are a clear provocation that disregards international law,” he underlined, adding that these attacks, which come at a time when negotiations on Iran's nuclear program are intensifying and international pressure is increasing against inhumane actions targeting Gaza, demonstrate Israel's "rule-breaking mentality.”

“The Netanyahu administration is trying to drag our region and the entire world into disaster with its reckless, aggressive and lawless actions,” the president continued, indicating that the international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability.

“The attacks of Netanyahu and his massacre network, which are setting our entire region on fire, must be prevented.”...

Erdoğan praises Spain's principled stance regarding Gaza

from Daily Sabah

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan hailed Spain for its "principled and honorable" stance against Israel's genocidal attacks in Gaza, as he emphasized Türkiye's priority of ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave, as he met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Thursday in Istanbul.

The two leaders discussed bilateral relations, regional conflicts, and global issues, according to an official readout of the meeting.

Sanchez said his government plans to introduce a United Nations resolution requesting the International Court of Justice to assess the legality of Israel's wartime conduct...

Erdoğan calls the world act against Israel

(While Erdogan and Turkey put the thumbscrews to Israel to stop them from committing genocide in Gaza, Max Blumenthal (son of Sidney Blumenthal, Bill and Hillary Clinton hatchet-man and perennial insider in D.C.)  interviewed Mother Miriam and tried to get her to agree with him that Erdogan was behind the Syrian regime change op in his ongoing effort to support ALL REGIME CHANGE OPS since Gaddafi in Libya. She did not bite.)

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Saturday that the world was definitely “bigger than Israel” and should act to “extinguish the fireball caused by Israel” in the region.

Remarks of Erdoğan were published on Sunday by journalists accompanying him to a trip to Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Erdoğan reiterated Türkiye’s support for TRNC and said the country would “sooner or later gain sovereign equality and equal international status.”

He also commented on tensions between Israel and Türkiye and emphasized that they were closely monitoring steps Israel planned to take against Türkiye.

Türkiye refuses to accept Trump’s Gaza takeover plan

(aaaaand the teenie-bopper regime change color revolution starts in 5.. 4... 3...)

from Daily Sabah

Türkiye will not accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and forcibly displace its people, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Wednesday, urging his proposal not to be taken seriously.

Trump has repeatedly proposed emptying war-ravaged Gaza of Palestinians.

He has floated the idea of a U.S. takeover of Gaza under which its Palestinian population would be relocated – a proposal met with widespread condemnation but welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"There are probably only two countries in the world that support this: the U.S. and Israel. The rest of the world is against it," Fidan said in an interview with Al-Jazeera Arabic.

Fidan said that Netanyahu's government sees Israel's security not in a two-state solution but in Israel's expansion and expansionism in the region....

Erdoğan rips Trump’s Gaza plan, blames US missteps for 'atrocity'

from Daily Sabah

U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza and “take over” the territory would only be a “complete atrocity,” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said as he repeated his rebuke of Trump’s shocking policy.

“It’s impossible to accept the forced displacement. It would be a complete atrocity,” Erdoğan said, according to a transcript of comments to journalists on a return flight from his tour of Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan.

He said the Trump administration was making "wrong calculations" regarding the Middle East, adding that heeding "Zionist lies" would only exacerbate conflicts.

Türkiye has rejected Trump’s plan to remove more than 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, claim U.S. control of it and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East." It has also said Israel's assault on Gaza amounted to a genocide while calling for international measures against its government.

"Unfortunately, the United States is making a wrong calculation about our region. One should not be engaged in an approach that disregards the region's history, values and accumulation," he said...

US 'bolstered' armed groups to oust Assad in Syria: Report

(Stop blaming Erdogan. You are just helping them make ready for the next part of the Greater Kurdistan project by getting rid of a leader who opposes Israel's ambitions in the region. According to this, the US and Britain trained, armed and financed the terrorists in Syria who overthrew Assad and Turkish-backed militias were ONLY involved it fighting PKK/YPG Kurds) 

(We were paying terrorists $400 a month, 3,000 of em, and arming them and training them making ready for the regime change operation. And I am sure part of that package includes promises to allow them entry into the US after completing their term of contract, if they survive.)

from PressTV

The United States prepared and bolstered an armed group in southern Syria weeks prior to the offensive that ousted President Bashar al-Assad, a Western media report says. 

In the first indication that Washington had prior knowledge of the offensive, the group known as Revolutionary Commando Army (RCA) revealed it had been told to scale-up its forces and “be ready” for an attack that could lead to the end of the Assad government, the Telegraph reported. 

The RCA fighters, trained by Britain and the US, were told "this is your moment" during a briefing by US Special Forces stationed in the Arab country before Assad was toppled on December 8, the report noted. 

The RCA fighters said Washington had prior knowledge of the offensive, which was mainly led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The RCA was told to increase its forces and prepare for a major attack that could "end" the Syrian government. 

Capt Bashar al-Mashadani, an RCA commander said in the weeks preceding the offensive, the RCA's ranks were expanded by smaller "freelance" units, all of which were briefed at the US al-Tanf air base.

“They did not tell us how it would happen,” al-Mashadani told The Telegraph from a former Syrian army air base on the outskirts of the city of Palmyra.

“We were just told: ‘Everything is about to change. This is your moment. Either Assad will fall, or you will fall.’ But they did not say when or where, they just told us to be ready.”

The RCA is an armed group established by defected Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops and is headquartered in the al-Tanf area, near the Syria-Jordan-Iraq border area, in southern Syria. 

US forces are also stationed in the al-Tanf area, where they claim to be fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the region.

'On the US payroll'

According to the British newspaper, the RCA remains on the US's payroll, as Washington claims to require their assistance to prevent the resurgence of Daesh. All members of the force continued to be armed by the US and to receive their salary of $400 a month...

For Nora with Love: OKAY... Erdogan... Turkey... Syria. Let's Go

by Scott Creighton

 

Last week Recep Erdogan, Turkey's President since 2014 and former Prime Minister from 2003-2014, made public his communications with Syrian President Bashar al Assad in which he urged the beleaguered leader to meet with legitimate members of Syrian opposition (not the HTS terrorists formerly known as al Qaeda) and make arraignments to step down after running the country for the past 24 years.

According to Erdogan, Assad refused in no uncertain terms.

Next thing we know, U.S. and Israeli backed terrorists serving as our proxy army, swept through the northern part of unoccupied Syria (the rest is held by Greater Kurdistan) and made their way, unfettered, to Damascus and Assad and his family reportedly fled to Russia (though I have yet to see a single interview showing Assad and his family to be alive)

In the wake of these historic events, we see a number of fake alt-left influencers running with the notion that 'Sultan Erdogan' of the 'neo-Ottoman Empire' worked with the al Qaeda terrorists to overthrow Syria and finally remove Assad which they have claimed was his intention for years.

Seems like the fake alt-left (you know who you are... Owen) blame Erdogan more than they blame the U.S. or Israel as if that is even remotely possible.

Is this true? No. Is it born of some semblance of historical accuracy? Yes. But is Recep Erdogan responsible or is something far older and more nuanced at play here? Grey Wolves? CIA? Gladio? Fidan?

Fidan? You ask. What the heck is that?

Hakan Fidan is the CIA's man in Turkey (one of many, turns out) and he's been the head of their CIA (National Intelligence Organization MIT) since 2010 and now is their version of Secretary of State (Minister of Foreign Affairs) since 2023 and is currently...  the man who will take Recep Erdogan's place at the head of the table if the fake alt-left get what their paymasters want... regime change in Turkey.

And oh by the way, he's a Kurd and a CIA asset and it's Fidan who's been whispering in Erdogan's ear all this time and doing our bidding in Syria, for which the fake alt-left then blames... Erdogan.

'Fidan was born to a Kurdish father from Varto and a Turkish mother from Denizli.^[3] He belongs to the Kurdish Hesenan tribe.^[4]

I mean, who better than a CIA-backed Kurd to hand over Turkey's contribution to Greater Kurdistan, right? And to think, the CIA got the gullible or complicit fake alt-left to cheer for it, right Owen?

Damn. Those CIA boys are slippery, ain't they?

Let's do this.
