The son of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan participates in a large pro-Palestinian march in Istanbul.
Bilal Erdogan was accompanied by former interior minister Suleyman Soylu and former speaker of Turkish parliament Mustafa Sentop.
“Let us make clear our side, we should at least let our feelings be heard,” Erdogan tells The Associated Press.
The crowd of more than 1,000 people carries Palestinian and Turkish flags while chanting slogans criticizing Israel and the United States.
Speaking to AP, Sentop says, “Everyone with a conscience, regardless of race or religion, are displaying their sentiments toward this genocide.”
