ANKARA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, which he said amounted to genocide, and urged the international community to work for a humanitarian ceasefire in the region.

In a post on social messaging platform X, Erdogan also said Israel was provoking non-regional actors instead of turning back from its mistakes in Gaza, adding that the region needed saving from the “frenzy of madness” supported by Western powers and media.

    I’ll never understand why they insist on conflating the Ottoman Empire with Turkey.

    Well, I understand, Erdogan would love to be the Caliph, but it’s still ridiculous to feel like you have to defend the actions of an imperial state that was dissolved.
