#Erdoğan says #Europe died in #Bosnia, was buried in #Syria
He also warned Europe against placing sanctions on #Turkey, arguing that the #EU needs the country as a member. #Erdoğan: "Without Turkey, the EU will suffer isolation, desperation and inner conflicts". Erdoğan also criticized the #US. government for providing arms in Syria, saying: "Those who opened space for the murderers then are now providing 3,500 truckloads of arms to support terrorist groups, without [them] paying a single thing."

"Europe died in Bosnia and it was buried in Syria. The bodies of innocent children washing up ashore are the tombstones of the Western civilization. Unfortunately, in the last seven years, the old European values have been discredited and destroyed by the very owners of these values," he said during a program at the Presidential Complex in Ankara commemorating the 14th anniversary of Bosnian leader Alija Izetbegovic's death.
"What is the difference between what happened 25 years ago in Bosnia and what we are witnessing today in Syria?"
