Akif Cagatay Kilic, Chairman of the Parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee, reacted to the allegations of US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez towards Türkiye and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Kilic, who’s an Istanbul deputy for the AK Party, described Menendez’s allegations relating to Ankara’s overseas coverage, rights insurance policies and home politics as “devoid of” worldwide legislation and information.

“The whole world knows how Türkiye embraces and supports the oppressed, while people in various parts of the world are being persecuted because of their beliefs, race and languages, while being driven from their homes,” Kilic stated. 

“It is the country that hosts the most refugees in relation to its population. No one can argue with that,” he added.

Kilic additionally responded to Menendez’s feedback on the 1915 incidents and Greece-Türkiye relations, slamming them as statements made with “purely domestic political motives” and with out correct analysis.
