Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took center stage in November by participating in five significant international summits, where he addressed a spectrum of global issues, including the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the pressing matter of climate change. His diplomatic efforts were aimed at advocating for justice and stability within the region, highlighting Trkiye's active role on the international stage. According to Anadolu Agency, Erdogan's diplomatic journey began in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, at the 11th Summit of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States (OTS) from November 5-6. During the summit, Erdogan strongly criticized the international community for its failure to halt what he described as genocide in Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories. He expressed frustration over the UN Security Council's inaction, accusing it of being unwilling to convene to make necessary decisions. Erdogan emphasized that around 50,000 innocent people have been killed in the G aza Strip, and reiterated Trkiye's commitment to cease the ongoing atrocities and push for a permanent peace settlement based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of a Palestinian state. Following his visit to Kyrgyzstan, Erdogan traveled to Budapest, Hungary, for the 5th European Political Community Summit on November 6-7. There, he advocated for Trkiye's long-standing aspiration to join the European Union, emphasizing the importance of a fair enlargement policy as a geopolitical tool for the EU. Erdogan argued that there is no reasonable justification for delaying Trkiye's accession, pointing to the country's contributions to the continent's prosperity and security. He also reiterated his concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, labeling it a "shared disgrace for humanity" and condemning recent attacks on the West Bank and Lebanon as immoral and unlawful. Erdogan called for immediate international pressure on Israel to declare a cease-fire and ensure the provision of humanitarian a id to the affected regions.
