ISTANBUL (AA) – Türkiye will mourn on Wednesday due to a fire that broke out in a hotel in Bolu province claiming at least 66 people lives, said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday.
On Syria, Erdogan urged the Arab and Islamic world to support Syria’s recovery “before others,” Western states to lift the sanctions imposed on the war-torn country.
His remarks came during his address after the cabinet meeting.
On Gaza ceasefire, Erdogan said that the images of prisoner exchange show who values human dignity and who disregards them, Erdogan said, criticizing Israel.
“Our brothers, sisters in Gaza have paid heavy price, but they have neither bowed to thuggery, nor have they surrendered to policy of massacre,” he added.
Türkiye will accelerate its efforts to pave the way for lasting peace in the region, “taking ceasefire as an opportunity” in Gaza, he added.
