Excerpt
RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN, Turkish prime minister (through translator): It is necessary to put pressure on Israel to achieve peace, despite what those who govern this country do, and to show them clearly they're not above the law.
And one of the most important steps that needs to be taken in this regard is recognizing the just demands of the Palestinian people to be recognized as a state and to have the representatives of the state of Palestine take their well-deserved place in this august assembly as a member of the U.N.
RAY SUAREZ (Newshour): It was Erdogan's latest move in a growing effort to bolster Turkey's standing in the Middle East. And it's gotten Washington's attention.
