These are the highlights of President Erdoğan’s statements:
I congratulate the rector and university officials who brought together distinguished experts in the field of migration. Social for immigration reasons,
I think it will prompt us to rethink its cultural and economic effects. We see that the issue of immigration has occupied the world agenda as a global issue, especially in recent years. We are experiencing the period of greatest human mobility since World War II.
‘THE NUMBER OF REFUGEES HAS APPROACHED 26 MILLION’
Worldwide, the number of immigrants approached 272 million, the number of displaced people reached 80 million, and the number of refugees approached 26 million. In other words, 3% of the world’s population lives as immigrants. The trips depart with the hope of building a secure future escaping from persecution, oppression, hunger, which sometimes end in disaster. Approximately 30 thousand immigrants died in the Mediterranean. The red of the Sahara desert became the grave of thousands of hopeful travelers.
REFUGEE REACTION TO GREECE: WE EXPERIENCED OPPRESSED STAGES
We remember very well how his boots deliberately sank. Humanity has remained in class not only in the Mediterranean, but also in the Aegean and Meriç. The dreams of immigrants are buried by those who push them into the sea. The whereabouts of 10,000 Syrian children who took refuge in Europe are unknown. Roughly 80% of the world’s refugee population is not housed in wealthy states, but in states with far fewer opportunities. Those who make publicity material for the few refugees they accept do not take responsibility for this situation. According to figures from the High Commissioner for Refugees, only some of the 1 million 440 thousand refugees who expected to be placed in third countries of the world in 2020 were resettled in the West. Turkey has opened its doors to refugees of up to 4 million. We openly live scenes that were persecuted by the security forces and refugees in Greece on the Greek border with Turkey. The EU Agency has partnered with Frontex in this rights violation. We open our doors to the oppressed who have been persecuted for the last 500 years, who have suffered for their beliefs and culture. Our brothers in the Caucasus and our relatives in the Balkans always took refuge in our lands when they narrowed.
‘OBAMA REQUESTED SUPPORT’
During World War II, Turkish diplomats in Europe saved hundreds of oppressed people from genocide with Turkish passports. We have become a safe haven and a welcoming home for all who suffered persecution and massacre. We share our bread with these people, while countries with more economic means than us condemn refugees to concentration camps. Obama called me while he was in office and asked for support so that the Kurds of Kobani are in a difficult situation and that they open our doors in this regard. I said how it will be in this situation. Your answer for me is this; These people face death. If necessary, we will land the plane here with all the ammunition. I said, we can’t be partners on that. Thousands of our Kurdish brothers died in that incident. Despite him, we open our doors. Tens of thousands of our Kurdish brothers from Koban are still on our land.
‘STILL TOGETHER WITH TERRORISTS’
New developments now. Looking north of Syria, an American general says: Now we are with the PKK / YPG / PYD. So what is this alliance like in NATO? They have no intention of claiming refugees. Their problems are different. They are still with the terrorists. We continue our fight against terrorism and terrorists, and we will continue to do so. We offered these victims any service that we provide to our own citizens, without waiting for any response. We did all of this not for the benefit of publicity, but with our beliefs, our traditions of faith, our culture.
‘SYRIAN REFUGEES HAVE LEARNED THAT A COUNTRY IS TURKEY’
Many promises have been made to us, but they have not been kept. They did not fulfill their promise, they brought 50 water from 50 streams. We build 52 thousand housing collections. We wanted not to let these people live in tents. We wanted 50 collectors to live here, not in a tent. Even in an earthquake, we visit earthquake victims in 500-600 containers. EU, Greece 3 billion euros to 100 thousand refugees, while the support to put it in your hand to 4 million refugees in Turkey. It is always a lie when it comes to side by side. We have given everything we have given. Even international organizations are beginning to see this reality. Turkey is the only country with Syrian refugees. We were able to do this with our military might. It is not clear what they would have done without our soldiers.
‘WE WILL NOT ALLOW THE ENVIRONMENT OF TRUST TO BE DEFEATED’
class = “cf”>
As the security environment improves in northern Syria, the return of Syrians to our country is accelerating. 24 thousand refugees returned to their countries. These returns will increase as the environment of stability and peace strengthens. We see that the separatist terrorist organization has increased its attacks in safe areas recently. Dozens of innocent civilians and children died in a month. We will definitely not allow the environment of trust to deteriorate. Just as we have destroyed nests of terror without looking at anyone, we will not hesitate to take action against other regions should the attacks continue. It is necessary to look at the phenomenon of immigration that has existed throughout history and will continue to exist in the future.
‘EVERY MIGRATION IS A NEW ENCOUNTER AT THE SAME TIME’
It is the problems to be faced that fuel migration. They are things that force millions of people to leave their homes every year. We can start by accepting that the real human being is a political and social problem. Each migration is also a new encounter. Your religion, culture, different people should embrace. We need to let go of our prejudices about immigration and see the contributions of immigrants to the countries they go to. As a country that has been receiving immigration for centuries and emigrating since 1965, we are taking the necessary steps in this regard.
‘YOU KNOW WELL WHO IS BOOTS’
As a country that has been receiving immigration for centuries and emigrating since 1965, we are taking the necessary steps in this regard. As a country that has been receiving immigration for centuries and emigrating since 1965, we are taking the necessary steps in this regard. Without counting the closure of the great and strong Turkey of tomorrow, we are aware that this will happen by opening to the outside. Trained in our country, our nation has developed ülsüyet, we will give steps to people with different ties to Turkey. We believe that your discussions and ideas during the conference will open our horizons. You know the ones who bottled those boots as well as we do. You know how vulnerable people die in seawater. We tell the world those images, but they enter through one ear and exit through the other. But we will continue to explain.
