Turkish Ambassador to Qatar: President Erdoğan and the Amir’s Speeches at the UN are a Testament to Shared Values and Principles, Leading the Call for Justice and Peace

HE Dr. Mustafa Göksu, Ambassador of the Republic of Türkiye to the State of Qatar, stated that at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the President of Türkiye, HE Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the Amir of the State of Qatar, HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, delivered powerful and principled addresses underscoring the deep alignment between their nations on critical regional and global issues.

Ambassador Göksu commended the speeches as a true reflection of Türkiye and Qatar’s steadfast commitment to upholding principles and standing by what is right, while raising the voice of justice in a world plagued by double standards.

He emphasized that both addresses reflected a shared moral compass, a commitment to diplomacy, and an unwavering defense of human dignity in the face of escalating injustice.

A Unified Stand Against Genocide and Aggression

Ambassador Göksu affirmed that both leaders strongly condemned the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, denouncing Israel’s deliberate targeting of civilians, journalists, and humanitarian workers.

He noted that President Erdoğan, by holding up images of devastation, underscored the daily reality of killings, destruction, hunger, displacement, and forced migration in Gaza, stressing that no justification exists for such brutality. The Ambassador recalled that the President described the devastation as “the lowest point of humanity.”

Ambassador Göksu further highlighted that HH Sheikh Tamim decried the Israeli strike on Doha, describing it not only as a heinous attack targeting Qatar’s sovereignty but also as an act of “state terrorism” and a direct assault on diplomacy.

He underlined that President Erdoğan, in a powerful display of solidarity, again denounced Israel’s aggression toward Qatar, calling it “shameful” and proof that “the Israeli government is completely out of control,” while praising Qatar’s principled stance in the face of escalating threats.

The Ambassador added that Amir Sheikh Tamim reaffirmed Qatar’s commitment to resolving conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, Africa, and beyond, and that President Erdoğan praised Qatar’s global mediation efforts as “essential,” extending Türkiye’s appreciation for Qatar’s tireless work to bring warring parties together and foster cooperation.

He stressed that this recognition underscores the strategic alignment between Türkiye and Qatar in promoting peace through diplomacy, dialogue, and humanitarian leadership.

Diplomacy Over Division

Ambassador Göksu stated that both leaders emphasized the urgent need to restore the legitimacy of the international system through dialogue and cooperation. From Syria’s path to recovery to Sudan’s call for peace, both nations pledged support for inclusive political solutions.

He noted that President Erdoğan underlined that “there is no winner in war and no loser in just peace,” while HH Sheikh Tamim emphasized that the essence of Qatar’s diplomacy is the pursuit of peaceful solutions. Ambassador Göksu stressed that the leaders’ statements reflect a strategic and humanitarian approach to foreign policy—one that prioritizes peace, stability, sovereignty, and the dignity of humanity.

Defending Regional Integrity

Ambassador Göksu emphasized that both leaders rejected Israel’s expansionist ideologies that threaten regional harmony. They also reaffirmed support for a sovereign Palestinian state and condemned Israeli attempts to divide Syria and interfere in Lebanon.

Conclusion

Ambassador Göksu noted that HH Sheikh Tamim’s statement that “allowing violations to continue means allowing the rule of the jungle” resonated with President Erdoğan’s pledge that Türkiye will continue to proclaim that “the world is bigger than five” until a system is established where right prevails over might.

He underlined that the 80th UNGA session marked a renewed demonstration of strength in the Türkiye–Qatar partnership. Their shared vision—rooted in justice, diplomacy, and regional solidarity—offers a powerful alternative to the politics of aggression and division.

The Ambassador concluded that for the peoples of Türkiye and Qatar, this alliance is more than strategic—it is a reflection of shared values, courage, and an unwavering commitment to peace.
