Erdogan condemns efforts to disregard Turkey's existence

[APA.AZ] The actors who tried to invade The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
one century ago and have been trying to exclude Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean now are the same, President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
said Saturday, APA reports citing Daily Sabah.

"Our nation will not hesitate to hinder acts reminiscent of Sevres agreement, just like it won independence war despite difficulties," he said in his message marking the 98th anniversary of a decisive battle that drove out invading foreign forces in post-World War I Turkey.

Winners of WWI tried to impose the humiliating Treaty of Sevres upon the Ottoman government after its defeat, which was scrapped after the victory in the Ottoman Turkish War of Independence.

Erdogan added that with Aug. 30 victory, Ottoman Turkish people showed that they will protect their homeland forever.

From Aug. 26 to Aug. 30, 1922, Ottoman Turkish forces fought the Battle of Dumlupinar — considered part of the Greco-Ottoman Turkish War — in Turkey's western Kutahya province, where Greek forces were decisively defeated. By the end of 1922, all foreign forces had left the territories, which would collectively become the new Republic of Turkey one year later.
