Erdoğan's reaction to Mitsotakis regarding Hamas

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.
