US President Donald Trump strikes out against globalism, calls for united front against Iran, defends his tough immigration policies UNGA
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan holds up a photograph of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi, as he addresses the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York City, New York, US, September 24, 2019. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday called on UN members to back Ankara's efforts to ensure security in Syria's Idlib to avoid mass migration and massacres.
Holding a picture of Syrian refugee Aylan Kurdi, Erdogan said the beached toddler was "quickly forgotten by the world," reminding the world leaders that "the same situation may happen to you one day." The PKK/YPG terror group is operating under the disguise of so-called Syrian Democratic Forces in Northern Syria, must be dealt with for safety and security of the region, said, Erdogan.
Erdogan also requested the UN to designate March 15, when the Christchurch attack was carried out in New Zealand, as "International Day for Solidarity against Islamophobia." "As long as Iran's menacing behaviour continues, sanctions will not be lifted –– they will be tightened." "It is a fallacy to say that the Amazon is the heritage of humankind, and a misconception confirmed by scientists to say that our Amazon forests are the lungs of the world," he said.
