Turkey's Erdogan denounces Israel-Greece-Cyprus trilateral summit, affirms support for Gaza

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.
