Turkey’s Islamist Erdogan Rejects New U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem
Breitbart ^ | 14 May 2018 | Simon Kent

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country rejects the move of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, adding that the U.S. has “lost its role as mediator” in the Middle East in the process.

“With its latest step America has chosen to be a part of the problem, not a solution, and lost its mediator role in the Middle East peace process”, Erdogan told the Chatham House global affairs think tank on Monday.

“We are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law and which is against UN resolutions,” he said.

Erdogan chided the U.S. embassy move to Israel’s capital as “very, very unfortunate” and said it “will increase tensions and ignite an even greater fire between communities”.

“The international community must do its part as soon as possible and take swift action to put an end to Israel’s increasing aggression,” he went on.

“The establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is the only way for lasting peace and stability,” he said.

Erdogan started a three-day visit to Britain on Sunday. The Turkish leader is scheduled to meet Queen Elizabeth II and British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday.

Seems like the “sick man of Europe” has now infected the whole continent. Not good. Britain/Europe need to return to their Christian roots.

Erdogan, there's nothing to mediate, and there's no "peace process". Frankly, there's nothing to discuss at all.

I only hope I live long enough to see the people of Turkey take him out.

This Turk has shown himself to be very evil on a number of occasions, and his talking about peace while he’s tried to provoke war ( and waged aggressions) is hypocritical at best. It’s long past time he gets sent to his Muslim war god in Hell - and Europe and USA stop
Protecting, enabling his evil

Why did Constantinople get the works?
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks

Who actually cares what Erdogan accepts or rejects? The decision is/was not his to make.

Yes. And we are not prepared to rescue Europe from their own folly again.

“The establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is the only way for lasting peace and stability.”

The end of Islam as any kind of influence is the only way for a lasting peace.
