Turkish House in New York

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's presence at the U.N. General Assembly, calling it a "shame."

Speaking at the Turkish House in New York, Erdoğan said, "It is truly a source of shame that a criminal, who committed genocide in Palestine, can take his place under the roof of the U.N."

Turkish first lady Emine Erdoğan has actively pursued both domestic and international efforts in 2023 for the Zero Waste Project aimed at reducing Türkiye's waste burden.

United States authorities have returned $8 million of stolen antiquities, some of which were plundered as far back as the 1960s to Türkiye, a prosecutor said on Dec. 5.

Among the 41 pieces returned were two Heads of the Roman emperor Caracalla and the Bust of a Lady which were trafficked from Bubon, a Roman-era site in southwest Türkiye which was extensively looted in the 1960s.

The United States and the United Nations have condemned the recent attack on the Turkish House (Türkevi) in New York, which hosts the Permanent Mission of Türkiye to the United Nations and the Consulate General.
