Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) on Saturday, focusing his speech on domestic politics and international developments.

The Turkish premier stressed that the city of Eskişehir is a model of alliance and peaceful coexistence. “One border of Eskişehir is Thessaloniki and the other is Crimea. One is Samarkand and the other is Northern Cyprus,” he said.
