Erdoğan condemns attacks Oman’s Black Sea brief

Sep 22

Oman reports Erdoğan condemning attacks on merchant vessels in the Black Sea as unacceptable in his UN General Assembly address. The brief says he holds Ukraine and Russia responsible for escalation. It relays his position rather than independently assigning responsibility for a particular vessel attack.

At the UN assembly, Erdoğan says roughly 74,000 people have been killed in Gaza over three years, mostly women and children, and characterizes Israel's actions as state terrorism. He describes severe harm to children and calls Gaza a concentration camp. These are his figures and accusations; Vremya says Israel is due to speak two days later, rather than presenting a response in this passage. Oman TV's September 23 retrospective adds Erdoğan's condemnation of attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea. It says he held both Ukraine and Russia responsible for the escalation. This is another part of the same UN address; it does not establish responsibility for a particular newly reported ship attack.
