Recep Tayyip Erdogan – President of Turkey<\/p><\/div>\n

Santiago – Speaking in Chile, Turkish president says terror group is harming Islam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has told an audience in Chile that the Daesh group, which declared a so-called Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria in 2014, has \u201cnothing to do with Islam\u201d.<\/p>\n

“Islam never allows terrorism; this is one. Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is a terror organization and it has nothing to do with Islam,” Erdogan said during an address to the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean in Santiago, Chile.<\/p>\n

The Turkish leader is currently on a tour of Latin American states.<\/p>\n

Erdogan said that those who linked Islam and terrorism were giving support and courage to terrorist organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the contrary, Daesh is harming Islam with what it does,\u201d said Erdogan, warning that the approach of associating terror with a religion or an ethnic group empowered xenophobia and racism which he described as a \u201cdisgrace [in] the history of humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Refugee crisis<\/p>\n

The president turned to the humanitarian crisis in Syria.<\/p>\n

“Even though the refugee crisis seems like a regional issue, in fact, it is a global one. The European countries watching the incidents from outside yesterday are today deeply experiencing the refugee crisis \u2026 inside,” Erdogan said.<\/p>\n

“Now, they [the European countries] began to shout, saying: ‘They do not come to us’. Well, what should Turkey, where 2.5 million people are sheltered, do?” Erdogan asked.<\/p>\n

Erdogan said Turkey had spent over $9 billion for refugees and just received $420 million from the international community.<\/p>\n

“But, Turkey does not care whether we receive aid or not. It has not closed its gates to anyone; whoever comes, Turkey did not look at their race, religion and language, and opened its doors,” Erdogan added.<\/p>\n

Chile’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Heraldo Munoz praised Turkey over its efforts in hosting millions of refugees.<\/p>\n

“I am saying not only in the name of Chile, but also that of Latin America; we are watching the support Turkey gives to refugees with admiration,” Munoz said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
