Turkish President Erdogan denounces the Israel-Greece-Cyprus meeting and vows Turkey will not allow violations of its rights in the Mediterranean, while continuing to support Gaza.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday denounced the trilateral meeting between Israel, Greece, and Cyprus earlier this week, discussing issues concerning security in the eastern Mediterranean, including the Gaza Strip.

Erdogan, speaking at a meeting of delegates from his Justice and Development Party (AKP) affirmed that Turkey "will not allow violations of its rights in the Aegean and the Mediterranean."

"I am stating this very clearly and plainly… Whether in the eastern Mediterranean, in the Aegean, or anywhere else, we will neither accept injustice nor allow our rights to be trampled," Erdogan wrote on X/Twitter, summarizing his speech.

"Agreements can be made, signatures can be signed, orders can be placed, and various messages can be conveyed. None of these binds us or changes our policy. We did not fall for the game, and we will not. We did not succumb to provocations, and we will not," he added.

"We will not permit the violation of the rights and interests of Turkish Cypriots either," he continued.

"In our eyes, the insolence of those with the blood of more than 70,000 Palestinian brothers and sisters on their hands is no different from the rattling of tin cans," he said, accusing Israel of being responsible for the deaths of all Palestinians since the Israel-Hamas War began, not differentiating between terrorists, civilians, and collateral damage.

"Even though a ceasefire has been established in Gaza, the hardships continue in the settlements that Israel has turned into ruins," Erdogan wrote in a second X post.

"Last week, our 19th Goodness Ship, carrying 1,300 tons of humanitarian aid materials, arrived at Egypt's El Arish Port. The amount of aid we have sent to Gaza in the last two years has approached 105 thousand tons," he added.

"According to the agreement, 600 trucks were supposed to enter Gaza daily. However, even in such a humanitarian matter, Israel does not keep its word, constantly creating difficulties and obstacles to the entry of humanitarian aid with fabricated excuses. Despite all this, we are striving to stand by the oppressed people of Gaza," he affirmed.

"As Turkey, we will not back down, we will not stay silent, we will not forget; we will never leave Gaza alone," he commented.

Erdogan: Turkish policy not antisemitic, historically acted as 'haven for oppressed'

Erdogan claimed that Turkey's policy is not antisemitic during his address to AKP delegates.

"Throughout our history, we have always been a haven for the oppressed. Regardless of their religion, language, or origin, we opened our doors to those who were oppressed, humiliated, subjected to cruelty, and massacred. We sheltered Jews fleeing the Inquisition and Jewish scientists fleeing Nazi persecution," Turkey's official Anadolu Agency cited him as saying.

"From the Caucasus to the Balkans, from Africa to Asia, wherever someone was in trouble, we rushed to their aid without hesitation. This was true yesterday, it is true today, and it will never change tomorrow," he added.

Erdogan also issued his condolences to Libya's Government of National Unity, based in Tripoli, following the GNU's military chief of staff's death following a plane crash after visiting Ankara on Tuesday.
