Indonesia will 'stand side by side' with Türkiye in defense of justice: Prabowo
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Thursday expressed support to the nation of Türkiye in its pursuit of justice in an uncertain world.
“We want to stand side by side with Türkiye in defense of justice and righteousness in a world full of uncertainties,” Prabowo said in an address to Turkish parliament in the capital Ankara.
Lauding warm ties with Ankara, Prabowo said: “For us, Türkiye is actually a continuation of the Ottoman Empire and we remember the historical relations between us.”
Prabowo has been on a two-day official visit to Türkiye since Wednesday.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is set later to host him for official talks.
Addressing Turkish lawmakers, the 73-year-old Indonesian leader turned nostalgic, recalling the days of his youth.
“My hero, my icon was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk along with Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II,” he said, referring to the founder of the Turkish Republic and Fatih Mehmet Sultan, the Ottoman sultan.
