ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will go to flood-ravaged Pakistan Tuesday. Erdoğan also will pay a one-day visit to Syria on Monday.
Erdoğan postponed his visit to flood-hid Pakistan due to his Sept. 12 referendum campaign. However, his spouse Emine Erdoğan visited Pakistan in September.
Erdoğan previously criticized oil-rich Islamic countries for reluctance to help Pakistan. It is not possible to comprehend the suffering there while sitting here, he said during a symposium in September.
What is the Muslim world, who say they own oil resources, doing? How much of their oil have they sent to Pakistan? I do not want them to be offended, but they were not the ones who discovered the oil resources. The resources are a blessing, Erdoğan said.
Monsoon rains has hit Pakistan in August and floods destroyed much of the country. Nearly 1,600 people died and millions have been forced to relocate.
