Bishkek, November 5, 2024 – The Europe Today: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized the importance of solidarity among Turkic nations to advocate for a just resolution to the Palestinian issue, as the conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, resulting in the loss of over 43,374 lives. Speaking at the Sixth Meeting of the Türkiye-Kyrgyzstan High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council in Bishkek on Tuesday, Erdogan stated, “As the Turkic world, it is extremely important that we continue our efforts for a lasting and just solution to the Palestinian issue.”
