UNITED NATIONS, Sep 22 (APP):Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Tuesday called for the resolution of the decades-old Kashmir dispute through dialogue in accordance with the UN resolutions.
“In South Asia, it is important that all disputes, including the Kashmir issue, be addressed through dialogue within the framework of the United Nations Charter and of relevant resolution,” Erdogan said in his wide-ranging address to the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.
The Turkish leader has consistently drawn the attention of the international community to the unresolved dispute between India and Pakistan, and today was no exception
In his address, he focused heavily on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, UN institutional reform, and the defense of traditional family values.
Erdogan placed the Palestinian conflict at the very center of his speech, launching a blistering attack on Israel, accusing it of a “genocidal mindset” and practicing “state terror.”
The Turkish leader described Gaza as a modern-day concentration camp and “the world’s largest graveyard for children.” Furthermore, he strongly protested the denial of a visa to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Erdogan urged countries that have not yet recognized Palestine to do so immediately, pledging that Türkiye will continue to champion a free and sovereign Palestinian state and help rebuild Gaza.
The Turkish President repeated his signature diplomatic doctrine, “The world is bigger than five,” emphasizing that the UN Security Council is structurally inadequate to handle modern global crises and desperately requires systemic reform.
In a notable domestic and cultural reference, Erdogan condemned what he termed global “gender-neutralization policies.” He labeled these trends a targeted campaign against families and children, explicitly calling on nations to safeguard the traditional family structure.
Erdogan pressed the international community to bring an end to the international isolation of Turkish Cypriots.
He also touched upon other active global hotspots, emphasizing the need for open diplomacy and international law to address the war in Ukraine, escalating tensions in Lebanon, and conflicts in Sudan and Iran.
