Turkish flag 'symbol of protecting world's oppressed' - PM

Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu said that the Turkish flag has become a symbol of protecting oppressed people around the world as well as a token of Turkey's independence, Anadolu Agency reported.

"Throughout the world, this red flag will fly alongside those of Palestine, free Syria and all other oppressed people," he told a provincial congress of his Justice and Development Party in the central province of Konya.

Davutoglu made the remarks at the conference attended by Khaled Mashal, political bureau chief of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

The Turkish PM added that Turkey regards the Palestinian cause as its own cause and Palestine's land as holy as Turkish land.

Mashal said a strong Turkey means a strong Jerusalem and Palestine.

"A democratic, stable and developed Turkey empowers all Muslims," Mashal said. "We will hopefully save Palestine and Jerusalem in the future just as your people protected Jerusalem, Al -Aqsa and Palestine for ages in the past."
