WHAT HAPPENED?

President Tayyip Erdoğan was protested during his speech at the TRT World Forum at the Istanbul Congress Center.

Voices were raised from the hall while Erdoğan was speaking about Israel's attacks.

"SHIPS ARE CARRYING BOMBS TO GAZA" REACTION

When one person reacted to Erdoğan by saying, "While Zionists continue their trade in our seas and ports... Ships are carrying bombs to Gaza," Erdoğan responded, "My child, do not be the tongue and mouth of the Zionists here. No matter how much you try to provoke this place, you will not get results. The Zionists in the world know very well where Tayyip Erdoğan stands, but you still have not been able to understand."

ONE PERSON'S MOUTH WAS COVERED

The protesters were hastily removed from the hall. One person's mouth was seen being covered by security personnel.
