Anti-Western sentiment

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that policies enacted by "certain countries and institutions since the start of the Gaza conflict have shaken faith in the European Union."

In his address marking Europe Day, Erdogan underscored that these policies during the Gaza conflict have eroded trust in European values.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has extended a hand of cooperation to the European Union, stressing the importance of developing collaboration between Türkiye and the bloc in various domains.

In what is seen as a reflection of its inherently revisionist approach to Greek-Turkish relations, Ankara sent mixed signals just days before the planned meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Turkish capital. 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has declared that Türkiye will use all available means to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza.

"We will use all our means to hold those who claimed the lives of 35,000 of our brothers accountable before the law," Erdoğan said during an event in the capital Ankara on May 6.

Turkey's suspension of trade with Israel seeks to "force" Tel Aviv to declare a ceasefire in its war in the Gaza Strip, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

Turkey has suspended all exports and imports with Israel as of Tursday, according to two Turkish officials briefed on the matter, as reported by Bloomberg. Official statements from Turkey are pending.

Erdoğan hosted main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Özgür Özel at the Justice and Development Party (AKP) headquarters on May 2.

The meeting is the first official talk between the two politicians since Özel was elected to lead the CHP last November.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan launched a critique of the United States' handling of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, accusing the nation of hypocrisy in its stance on the Gaza war.

"We follow as an example the hypocritical policies of those who teach us freedom lessons in the Gaza massacre," Erdoğan remarked during an international workshop in the capital Ankara on May 2.

The reasons why Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's planned visit to Washington was called off lie in the distant, but also the recent past.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is scheduled to hold a meeting with main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Özgür Özel at the Justice and Development Party (AKP) headquarters on May 2.

Erdoğan's agenda features his AKP's long-pending proposal for a new constitution. The initiative, introduced in December 2022, currently lacks the requisite parliamentary majority.
