Erdogan: “We are against the anti-family structure called LGBT”

President of Turkiye and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan targeted LGBTI+s while talking about TV series in his speech at the TRT World Forum 2024, saying, “As the ruling party of Turkey, we are already against the anti-family structure called LGBT.”

President of Turkiye and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the opening of the TRT World Forum 2024 held at the Istanbul Congress Center on November 29. Erdoğan targeted LGBTI+s in his speech.

Erdoğan praised TRT World and its work, and also touched on Israel's attacks on Gaza.

Erdoğan also had series and television programs on his agenda. Expressing that they were “very proud” of the series produced by TRT being broadcast in more than 50 languages in more than 110 countries, Erdoğan targeted LGBTI+s while talking about the series. Erdoğan said the following:

“We have been witnessing this painful truth in our country in recent weeks. Series, films and programs shot entirely with the concern of being watched do not benefit our culture, our social peace or the survival of our values. In fact, we see that violence, especially violence against women and children, is legitimized, alcohol and drugs are encouraged, and perverted and perverted relationships are normalized just to get more ratings. The more dangerous aspect of these broadcasts is the provocative broadcast policy that aims to weaken the common denominator between different segments of our society. While the religious segments of our people are portrayed as bigoted, ignorant, rude and ugly, our citizens with more secular lifestyles are presented as if they are in moral weakness. Our entire family structure is being targeted through exceptional examples, and the family, which is the pillar of society, is being portrayed as the source of evil. As you know, as the ruling party of Turkey, we are already against the anti-family structure called LGBT.”
