Yesterday Erdogan put an end to the process of restoring Turkey's relations with Israel, while opening new "accounts" in an anti-Western delirium, while speaking in front of hundreds of thousands of his followers he reached the point of not only reminding "the limits of the heart" , but also to threaten Israel that "one night may suddenly come...".
The crowd responded to the Turkish leader rhythmically "send the Turkish army...".
He even warned the West that if it seeks a new Crusader-Crescent conflict, Turkey will stand firm.
He made these statements yesterday on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the modern Turkish State, giving the sign of the general turn that the Turkish leader is attempting by finally abandoning secular Kemalism and Western orientation.
Israel's first reaction came with Foreign Minister E. Cohen's announcement of an immediate withdrawal of all diplomatic personnel from Turkey to "reassess" Turkey-Israel relations, and it is clear that it will be a very long time before that it becomes possible to restore, even communication between the two governments.
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations accused Erdogan of anti-Semitism and stressed that "the snake can only remain a snake," while Israel's energy minister said that Erdogan "showed his true face as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood who supports the terrorism of Hamas." ".
From the previous days T. Erdogan was invited to participate in the big rally organized by his party in Istanbul for support in Gaza, which of course turned into a mass rally against Israel and the West.
During his speech, the Turkish leader, wanting to explain his interest in Gaza, recalled the theory of the "borders of the heart", in which he made sure to include... Thessaloniki.
"We defend Gaza, as we have done in the past in Thrace, in the Balkans, in the Caucasus, in every corner of the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean, in Central Asia, in South Asia, in all of Africa, in short, wherever the horizons reached ours... Today, some people see Gaza as a distant place, a place that has nothing to do with us. However, a century ago, for this nation, for this country, Gaza was no different from Adana. Just as Edirne was no different from Skopje, Kirklareli was no different from Thessaloniki, Mardin was no different from Mosul, Gaziantep was no different from Aleppo, Gaza was an integral part of our homeland... We were separated from all these places that are as much ours as our blood, our life and our love…”
As today Turkey celebrates the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish state, T. Erdogan wanted to give another dimension to the support he offers to Gaza (and Hamas) by linking it to the "liberation war": "We are facing the ambitions the corruption of those who during the conquest of Constantinople acted to avenge the invasion of 1453. We are facing modern versions of those who tried to destroy our nation by provoking the Armenians in Eastern and Southeast Anatolia and the Greeks in the Aegean, Marmara regions and the Black Sea.
Under the slogan that what is happening is not independent of conspiracies against Turkey, Erdogan emphasized that condemning the massacre in Gaza is also a fight "to protect our independence and our future".
In addition to the harsh attack on Israel, T. Erdoğan nevertheless called the West entirely responsible for the situation in Gaza and citing the poet Mehmet Akif (who wrote the text of the Turkish national anthem) who had described the West as a "toothless monster". , T. Erdoğan declared that "America and Europe are responsible for everything and for all the hostages they use...". He even made a specific reference to the aid Israel receives from the US, saying it could not even last three days before collapsing without this support, while again attacking those he said support terrorism in Syria, as he said that "we are well aware of the machinations against Turkey in the lobbies of the Europeans and the American government...".
At the end of his speech, the Turkish president proposed calling an international peace conference on the Palestinian issue with the participation of countries that contribute positively to this issue and with a system of guarantees. He also called on countries outside the region to stop adding fuel to the fire, called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and swift action to free the hostages.
In his speech, without referring to Hamas, he condemned attacks against civilians in Israel as well, but questioned the number of victims of the October 7 attack.
