Erdoğan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Oct. 2 urged Islamic nations to unite in solidarity against a newly passed bill in the U.S. that allows families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for their losses. 
In an interview with the Saudi Arabia-based TV station Rotana, Erdoğan said "despicable developments" were being formed against the Islamic world.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan congratulated the Jewish community's New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, on Oct. 3.

Erdoğan said Rosh Hashanah, which symbolizes new year in the Hebrew calendar, was the most important religious holiday in the Judaism and stressed "the guaranteed right of all Turkish citizens to live in accordance with their faith." 

The United Nations is "a burden on humanity" due to its "unfair structure" and decision-making power, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said in a speech in Ankara, also taking the opportunity to slam the U.S. and the EU.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has voiced praise for the people who poured out onto the street to resist an attempted coup in the Kazan district of Ankara while also vowing to continue to "chase" the perpetrators of the July 15 coup attempt.

The European Union must decide whether it wants to continue on its path with or without Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said, describing the ongoing impasse between Ankara and Brussels as "the end of the game."

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has described Thursday's comments by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that expressed regret over the Lausanne Treaty, signed in 1923, as "dangerous."

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has lashed out at rating agencies, after Moody's downgraded the country's sovereign debt rating to "junk" status.

Moody's downgraded Turkey's rating by one notch late Sept. 23 to the speculative or "junk" level of "Ba1," citing the country's institutional problems and economic slowdown.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan asked U.S. officials in New York why a Turkish citizen with Iranian origins, businessman Reza Zarrab, was under arrest.

He said, "As a matter of fact, because he is our citizen, we have to look into his rights. This could have been not Reza Zarrab, but another citizen." 

The visit by British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson to Ankara was bound to be one of the most difficult in his career.

I can just about imagine my acquaintances at the British embassy cringing prior to the visit, not to mention the jokes flying from room to room.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was actually very "cool" on the first evening of his recent trip to the U.S. He had a meeting right across from Hotel Peninsula, where he was staying, at the St. Regis Hotel. He walked there slowly, in a relaxed way, speaking to everybody and posing for photos.
