Taking the floor after Mitsotakis's speech, AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan stated that he did not agree with the Greek Prime Minister.

Erdoğan's statements are as follows:

There is a very important issue on which we do not agree.

Hamas is a resistance organization that has been protecting its lands since 1947, after its territories were occupied.

I do not see Hamas as a terrorist organization; on the contrary, I see Hamas as people who are struggling to protect their own lands and their own people.
