Erdogan sang about Palestine and used photographs… from the Ottoman period of Jerusalem

Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Yavuz Selim Kiran, who made provocative statements in Thrace last week at the behest of the Turkish president, tweeted Recep Tayyip Erdogan to… sing louder for her Jerusalem.

The video of the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister with Erdogan is titled “Terrorism of Israel” and has the hashtag #TerroristState of Israel.

The lyrics of the song sung by Erdogan:

O Jerusalem, O the fragrance of the prophets / O the courtyard, the nearest courtyard to the heavens / O the pearl of the cities! The stones of the street are in pain, as is the sound of the muezzin / O Jerusalem, the most painful city, who stops the enemy for you / O the necklace of religions, who erases the blood from the walls? Who saves Jesus from those who killed him? Who saves humanity / O Jerusalem! Oh my city! Oh my love!

However, according to SKAI, many of the photographs of Jerusalem show crescent and star flags from the beginning of the century, when Jerusalem and Palestine were part of the Ottoman Empire, which may have aroused less suspicion among the Arabs than strengthened them. the Turkish-Arab ties as Ankara most likely wants.

The Turkish president has spoken to his Palestinian counterpart, but also to the leader who controls the Gaza Strip, which the United States considers a terrorist organization, but has had no contact with the Israelis.

It is noted that the Ottoman Empire controlled Jerusalem and much of the Middle East from 1516 to 1917. After World War I, Great Britain took control until Israel was declared an independent state in 1948.
