Erdogan threatens US if he recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

This could amount to lowering our diplomatic relations with Israel. They cannot take such a step,” told Erdogan a meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which the country's government reports “Hurriyet Daily News”, broadcast Periscopi.

He named Jerusalem a <x1-line red line” for Muslims and said Ankara would take steps in case of a possible US movement, including calling the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) in Istanbul.

Such an act would be not only a violation of international law, but also a <x0-second blow to the conscience of humanity”, Erdogan said.

“Has the US finished everything in this regard?”, he added./Periscopi/
