Erdogan: 'Jerusalem Is Our City, A City From Us' by Righteousness89(m): 12:50pm On Oct 07, 2020
Righteousness89:
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan opened the Turkish parliament's legislative session on Thursday with a long speech that addressed the city of Jerusalem and the Palestinian people, in which he stated: "Jerusalem is our city."

Erdoğan referred to the Ottoman Empire's rule over Jerusalem, which lasted four centuries (1517-1917), to justify his claim.

“In this city, which we had to leave in tears during the First World War, it is still possible to come across traces of the Ottoman resistance. So Jerusalem is our city, a city from us,” Erdoğan said.

Erdoğan mentioned that Jerusalem's walls that still stand today, as well as the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem's Old City, were reconstructed and restored by Suleiman the Magnificent, who reigned over the Ottoman Empire from 1520 until his death in 1566.

“The issue of Jerusalem is not an ordinary geopolitical problem for us," Erdoğan said. "First of all, the current appearance of the Old City, which is the heart of Jerusalem, was built by Suleiman the Magnificent, with its walls, bazaar, and many buildings. Our ancestors showed their respect for centuries by keeping this city in high esteem.”

Suleiman the Magnificent was known for protecting the Jewish subjects of his empire through unprecedented reforms at the time, and is believed to have had a Jewish mother.

Erdoğan then moved to address the Palestinian issue, stating that “we consider it an honor on behalf of our country and nation to express the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people on every platform, with whom we have lived for centuries.”

"With this understanding, we will follow both the Palestinian cause, which is the bleeding wound of the global conscience, and the Jerusalem case to the end," he concluded.

Israel does not respond to hallucinations..when you are ready Mr. Erdogan, come with the best of your strength and attempt to take Jerusalem, then you'll know that whatever drowned Pharaoh and his army in the red sea wasn't joking cos the God of Israel neither slumber nor sleep. I'm happy Israel has all military capabilities to turn you guys to fried turkey for lunch. In 1967 some noisy and toxic arab neighbors of Isreal threatened and ganged up against Israel, it took Israel just 6 days to reduce them to maggots. Try it now and Israel and it's allies will evict you guys from the face of the map in a split second.

Sir, you can as well go to war with Israel to take your imaginary city. After the war Ankara and Istanbul will have no place for you to hide and type trash again.

Come and take the city nau.
