The former provinces of the Ottoman Empire should return to Turkey. This was stated by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a speech in Sakarya in front of party members, reports the Main News of Turkey.
"I wonder what would have happened if the conditions had been different at the time when the First World War redefined the borders in our region? The cities that we call Aleppo, Idlib, Damascus and Raqqa will become our provinces, like Antep, Hatay and Urfa!" Erdogan said.
As EADaily reported, as recently as yesterday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Ankara stated that the Turkish state stands for the preservation of the territorial integrity of Syria. At the same time, Erdogan stressed that the Turkish state is interested in the development of Turkish-American relations in all areas.
