Rabbi Ben Abrahamson's speech at the joint press conference with Mr. Adnan Oktar (May 12nd, 2011, Istanbul)

MR. ADNAN OKTAR: ... Yes. Mr. Abrahamson may speak too.

RABBI BEN ABRAHAMSON: It is very important that we see all the people here, who have come from Israel, who care so much for the Turkish people, who so much want to see peace, who want to see a future for our people and your people together, and there is such a deep relationship. I as a historian, have studied the many many centuries of history where the Jewish people and the Turkish people have worked together, have cooperated together to build a good life and I believe and I pray that we see the beginnings of a very good future that is possibly before us now. I can only say from the people that I know here, their hearts are tremendously inclined towards finding a way that we can work together and overcome our problems and see a future of peace for our children and for our children's children. It is an honor for me to know everyone at this table.
