responded to such claims by say-
ing, "It is not possible for us to
accept any claims as if 'Turkey is
moving towards a dissociation

name of a sect is not a determinant

faith, and the truth of Islam. Some
could follow the Shia, and in my
country there could be a majority
of Sunni… Yet, in relation to faith,
it is neither the Sunni, nor the Shia
that would direct our future. What
is essential is Islam." (1)

similar statement in Iran. This visit
was planned long before the oper-

with Turkey because of her advo-
cacy of the operation, during his
joint conference with Iranian Pres-
ident Rouhani, President Erdogan
emphasized the obligation to end
the bloodshed and terminate dis-
sociations in relation to the inci-
dents in Iraq, Syria and Yemen:
"Neither the Shia, nor the
Sunni is a matter of concern; what
is of significance is being a Mus-
lim. Man is the most honorable
creature. We need to sit and talk,
and find a way to end this murder.
