Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Oct. 2 urged Islamic nations to unite in solidarity against a newly passed bill in the U.S. that allows families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for their losses.
In an interview with the Saudi Arabia-based TV station Rotana, Erdoğan said “despicable developments” were being formed against the Islamic world.
“Turkey and Saudi Arabia are being targeted … We see that all pitfalls and plans are pointed against the Islamic world. Therefore the states of the Islamic world need to be in cooperation and solidarity with each other,” he said.
“We have expressed disapproval due to adaptation of the 9/11 victims bill,” Erdoğan added.
“We will take a step at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation [OIC] where we are the term president. I have also directed Turkey’s foreign and justice ministers to stand with Saudi Arabia for the mending of this serious mistake,” he said.
