President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed his pride in his country’s work to defend the Palestinian cause in all international events during the speech he delivered in the opening of the Turkish Parliament. He said that doing so is a great honor for them as a country and a people, and that Al-Quds is their city as much as Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa was the first qibla and the Dome of the Rock is a religious symbol.
