Communications Director Burhanettin Duran responded in a written statement to Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz's remarks about President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He said history is written in the memory of nations and the conscience of humanity.
The statement said Katz's remarks cannot cover up what is happening in Gaza. Duran also wrote that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reminded the world of a poet's words: "if we fell silent, no issue would remain."
