Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday called on the United Nations General Assembly to invoke the use of force, referencing a resolution passed in 1950, if the UN Security Council is unable to halt Israel's strikes in Gaza and Lebanon, Reuters reported.
"The UN General Assembly should rapidly implement the authority to recommend the use of force, as it did with the 1950 Uniting for Peace resolution, if the Security Council can't show the necessary will," Erdogan said following a cabinet meeting in Ankara.
The 1950 resolution allows the UN General Assembly to intervene if disagreements between the Security Council's five permanent members—Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States—prevent them from maintaining global peace.
While the Security Council is typically the only UN body with the authority to make legally binding decisions, such as authorizing force or enforcing sanctions, Erdogan expressed disappointment at the lack of action from Muslim nations. He urged them to adopt economic, diplomatic, and political measures to pressure Israel into agreeing to a ceasefire.

The thing about “partitioning the Ottoman empire” etc. etc.
You must remember that on average, the average Turk has only about 5% TurkiC genes. The ordinary Turk is, genetically descended from the Orthodox Greeks, the Armenians, Lydians, Romans, Galls as well as Syriacs, Iranians etc.
The majority of their ancestors 1000 years ago were Eastern Orthodox Christians and the rest were Armenian Orthodox or Syrian Orthodox.
The “going Turk” and going Mohammedan happened over centuries.
What we need is an incentive for them to reclaim their pre-Islamic identity. And to me this is counter-productive to “make them Greek”.
Turkishness is too intertwined with Islam for it to go away (which is why when a Bulgarian etc. became Muslim he was termed a Turk) - ever since the conversions in the 9th century of the Seljuk Turks.
What is needed is perhaps a Turkish Orthodox movement - something like the Gagauz or Chuvash.
So creating an autocephalous Eastern Orthodox church with liturgy in Turkish is the correct way forward in my opinion
The warmongering Islamonazi Erdogan is gonna get Turkey sent back to the dark ages.
Except that it’s there already as long as he’s in power
