Erdogan shares video touting Blue Homeland doctrine
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to safeguard Turkey’s interests in the eastern Mediterranean in a video projecting the country’s controversial Blue Homeland doctrine that was shared on his Twitter account on the fifth anniversary of a failed military coup on Thursday.
The CGI-heavy video depicts scenes from the Gallipoli battle of World War One, Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia which was last year converted into a mosque, and Turkish seismic exploration vessels Oruc Reis and Barbaros.
The footage is accompanied by slogans such as “the Blue Homeland is unconquerable” and “the eastern Mediterranean is unconquerable.”
#15Temmuz’da vatanına canıyla siper olup ülkemizi esir almaya yeltenen hainlere dersini veren tüm kahramanlarımızı rahmetle, minnetle anıyoruz.
