Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Dec. 13 called on the international community to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state.

“It is a must for countries that have not yet recognized the Palestinian state to take this important step, to maintain a balance that will ensure good sense and justice in the region,” he added.
