Turkish President Erdogan expresses hope that growing recognition of Palestine would "accelerate implementation of the two-state solution".
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said his address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will focus on Israel's "massacres" in Gaza, calling for urgent action to protect Palestinians and advance the two-state solution.
Speaking at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport before departing for New York on Sunday, President Erdogan said, "In my speech at the UN, I am going to voice the prosecution in Gaza, and Türkiye's efforts towards protecting stability in the region."
He said that this year's UNGA would be different from previous ones, as "many countries will recognise the State of Palestine".
The president expressed hope that growing recognition of Palestine would "accelerate implementation of the two-state solution", adding that the rights and security of Turkish Cypriots would also be part of his agenda.
