ANKARA, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Friday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, which he said amounted to genocide, and urged the international community to work for a humanitarian ceasefire in the region.

In a post on social messaging platform X, Erdogan also said Israel was provoking non-regional actors instead of turning back from its mistakes in Gaza, adding that the region needed saving from the “frenzy of madness” supported by Western powers and media.

    I think people are noting the similarities to the Armenian Genocide with the situation in Gaza. Namely, the forced displacement of millions of people for religious differences, which Turkey denies as a genocide because the Ottomans didn’t set up death camps.
