Turkish FM: We will not be intimidated
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu says that a member state threatened all the other members to vote no or “face the consequences,” likely referring to the US.
Countries were threatened with development aid cut, he went on. “This is bullying and this chamber will not do that. It is unethical to think the votes and dignity are for sale. … We will not be intimidated. You may be strong, but that does not make you right.”
