Turkey will take the issue of the Golan Heights to the United Nations, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

In an interview with broadcaster TGRT Haber, the Turkish leader said U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement on Golan Heights was a "gift" to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of elections there, Reuters reported.

In a speech at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on Friday, Erdogan said the legitimization of the occupation of the Golan Heights cannot be allowed.
