ISTANBUL (AA) — Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday urged more countries to recognize the state of Palestine.

"The struggle for freedom, for which Palestinians have paid heavy prices, must be supported by all of humanity on the basis of law and diplomacy," Erdogan said in a news conference after receiving Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze in the Turkish capital Ankara.

Erdogan said he and Kobakhidze focused on steps to enhance the two countries' "effectiveness" in fighting terror groups and organized crime, particularly the PKK and Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO).

Referring to a shooting on Wednesday that targeted Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, Erdogan vowed to "continue to stand against any action that threatens peace, stability, and security in our region."

He also underlined that Türkiye continues work to fully "reactivate" the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway, which he called the Middle Corridor's backbone.
