Turkish president Recep Erdogan has declared three days of mourning and called for a mass demonstration in Istanbul next Friday to protest the death of 58 Gazans by Israeli forces on Monday during border rallies against the relocation of the US embassy to Occupied Jerusalem.
“On Friday afternoon we are going to have our mass gathering in Yenikapi Square. And in order to show our solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters we are going to hold rallies in Diyarbakir on Sunday” Erdogan said while attending an event with students in London during his three-day visit to Britain.
“As the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) we are going to hold aid campaigns during the month of Ramadan for our brothers and sisters in Palestine’’ he added.
Earlier the Turkish president accused Israel of “state terror” and “genocide” after Israeli forces killed at least 58 Palestinians on the Gaza border and injured around 2700.
