Although there was no official explanation from Ankara, Turkish media speculated that Erdoğan’s decision was related to the US administration’s support for Israel’s attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, which the president had strongly criticized during his speech at the General Assembly.

In his address to the UN General Assembly, Erdoğan has announced that the Paris Climate Agreement will be submitted to the Parliament to be ratified next month and that “Turkey has neither the means nor patience to meet new immigration waves.”

After last year's virtual summit, the assembly will be held in New York between September 19-22.

Speaking at the UN General Assembly, President and AKP Chair Erdoğan said, “If each one of us is not safe, then none of us is safe”. He also argued that the scope of the planned safe zone in Syria should be extended.
