On 7 October 2023, Turkish President Recep Erdogan in a speech at the Justice and Development Party congress in Ankara said he rejects LGBT ideology and supports the institution of the family, Reuters reports.

"We do not recognise LGBT. Whoever recognises LGBT can go and march with them. We are members of a structure that firmly and resolutely supports the institution of the family," Erdogan said.

The Turkish President stressed he intends to counter forces that destroy the institution of the family.

"We will dry up the roots of insidious actions aimed at destroying our family institution," he said.

As earlier reported, Erdogan criticized LGBT propaganda and supported family values in the UN.
