President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the torrent area in the town of Ünye, where he had addressed the public.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has warned that the United States is "changing a strategic NATO partner with a pastor" in his latest statement about the ongoing diplomatic row between the two countries over the arrest of Pastor Andrew Bronson.

"We only bow down before Allah. I am once again calling on those in America: It is a pity that you choose a pastor over your strategic partner [Turkiye] in NATO. We will only do whatever justice requires," Erdoğan said. (ILKHA)
