Speaking at the 51st Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Turkish leader also warned against a "new Sykes-Picot order" in the Middle East, in reference to a 1916 secret deal between Western powers to divide up the region.
“We will not allow the establishment of a new Sykes-Picot order in our region with borders to be drawn in blood,” said President Erdogan in Istanbul.
