The north’s ‘foreign minister’ Tahsin Ertugruloglu on Thursday decried Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the United States Congress the previous night, describing Netanyahu as “a prime minister who kills children”.
He slammed the “minutes-long standing ovation” given to a man “who caused the killing of at least 20,000 children”, adding “this is not civilisation, this is something else!”
“Who is Netanyahu? A prime minister who has innocent people killed, a prime minister who has killed children. If you call such a man to Washington, have him speak in congress and the entire congress applauds him for minutes, there is something wrong here, this cannot be right,” he said.
He then made reference to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s objection to the veto power of the five members of the United Nations Security Council, the US, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China, saying “the world is bigger than five”.
“The world really is bigger than five, so long as the world can gradually understand that it is bigger. We are in that process. The world is slowly coming to its senses. The power and the weight of these five countries is gradually eroding,” he said.
He added that therefore, “we will continue on our path with determination to defend our rightful causes, be that Azerbaijan, Turkey, the TRNC, no matter what the cost.”
