President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a press conference in Istanbul before departing for Russia.
"I will pay a visit to Moscow for the 8. Meeting of the Turkiye-Russia High-Level Cooperation Council," President Erdoğan said, pointing to the strengthening cooperation between the two countries.
President Erdoğan underscored that every action zionist terror gang has taken since 1967 is illegal and against UN resolutions.
"They have taken such steps with the U.S. support. The U.S. led the way in the steps they took regarding the capital issue. Not many followed the US' footsteps, which is another issue. A few countries followed suit upon the U.S. imposition. We see the same thing in the step taken with regard to the Golan Heights and not the West Bank," he said.
President Erdoğan underlined that the step which will bring dark days to the Middle East is unacceptable. "The West Bank is absolutely Palestinian territory."
"This will only be another step of occupation by Israel on Palestinian territory. We will continue to stand with the Palestinians on this issue."
In answer to a question regarding the objections to the recent local election results, President Erdoğan said: "As I said the election process is over. It is now a judicial process. And in this process, the Supreme Election Council is in charge."
