Türkiye will continue defending “common values of humanity” against the “genocide networks” killing civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday.
Speaking at EFES-2026 Combined, Joint, and Live-Fire Field Exercise in the western city of Izmir, Erdogan stressed that while pessimistic scenarios are being written about the future, Ankara is striving to position the country as a key actor in every field, especially in regional peace.
