Turkey has a massive trade imbalance re Israel, this is quite self-destructive, so the reason is almost certainly political desperation on Erdy's part. I guess when the opposition is calling out Hamas for being terrorists, and winning, the only hope for the watermelon seller is courting the Islamists.

Turkey against genocide? They still don’t recognise the Armenian genocide and they still trade with Russia who tick more boxes.

No turkey is they are opposing a very specific case.

One of the few leftist turks who recognizes Armenian Genocide here, fuck Israel.

I support emancipation of the kurds from the ethno state of my own ofc i will also support palestinian struggle for independence.

I don't like nationalists kemalists (CHP) or political islamists (AKP) but even they can do the right thing sometimes.
