President Erdoğan: We are launching a special support program for Syria

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the opening ceremony of the 41st Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation (COMCEC) Meeting at the Istanbul Congress Center.

Erdoğan, who delivered striking messages, stated that they would stand with the Syrian people and that 14 years of oppression had ended.

Erdoğan said, "Our primary goal is for our neighbor Syria to get back on its feet as soon as possible. The support of the Islamic world is crucial for lasting prosperity."

Referring to the attacks in Gaza, Erdoğan stated that Israel broke the ceasefire under various pretexts.

Erdoğan finally emphasized that Turkey would stand by the TRNC in its just cause, saying, "We will never leave the Turkish Cypriot people alone." President Erdoğan's statements are as follows: "Different assessments and ideas, ranging from economic and financial cooperation to sustainable tourism, were voiced. Since our last meeting, we have witnessed historic developments in the world. For years, I have spoken to you from this podium about the suffering of the Syrian people. Our Syrian brothers and sisters paid a heavy price. During this period, we hosted Syrian refugees. We fulfilled our brotherly and neighborly duties in the best way possible. The atrocities that turned Syria into a bloodbath for 14 years have finally ended. Syria has entered a process of recovery. The oppressed Syrians have achieved victory.

"PLEASING" It is gratifying that Syria is represented at the COMCEC meeting after a long hiatus. We continue to support the Syrian people. Sanctions hindering economic development in Syria are gradually being lifted with our support. We now encourage the private sector to direct its investments to Syria. To this end, we are launching a dedicated support program for Syria under the COMCEC umbrella. Our primary goal is the swift recovery of our neighboring Syria, and the support of the Islamic world is crucial for its lasting prosperity.

"WE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE"

President Erdoğan emphasized the importance of solidarity with the people of Cyprus. He said, "We will never leave the Turkish Cypriot people alone. We will stand with them in their just cause."

"GAZA HAS TURNED INTO A GIANT PILE OF RUBBLE" The scars of the trauma experienced by innocent children in Gaza will perhaps never be erased. Gaza was the scene of one of the most brutal and barbaric genocides of the last century. Gaza has been turned into a giant pile of rubble. Israel massacred 70,000 Palestinians. Israel's record is disastrous. Despite the ceasefire agreement, they continue their attacks. The Israeli government is doing everything in its power to obstruct humanitarian aid. We demand the immediate implementation of the Reconstruction Plan.

We have been among the countries that have reacted to the genocide since day one. We will continue our struggle until the establishment of a Palestinian state.

CONFLICTS IN SUDAN: It is crucial that we stand with the Sudanese people and continue to support their development. The Islamic world must stop the bloodshed in Sudan. We must protect Sudan's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and full independence.
