Details of Erdoğan's upcoming UN address revealed in Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in New York to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly high-level week.

He is expected to deliver his annual UN speech on Tuesday, the opening day of the high-level week, where global leaders use the UN podium to address the world.

His address will mark his 16th appearance before the General Assembly.

The main focus of his speech is expected to be Israel's actions in Gaza, the need to recognize Palestine as a state, and potential international measures against Israel.

Erdogan will likely draw attention to the humanitarian plight in Gaza and call on UN member states to take a stand against Israel's continued attacks on the Palestinian people as well as countries in the region.

During the week, he is also scheduled to hold meetings with numerous heads of state and government as well as deliver remarks at the UN secretary-general's Climate Summit on Wednesday.
