Speaking before the General Assembly meeting in New York Wednesday, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the U.N. has repeatedly failed to act, citing the Syrian civil war which has killed more than 200,000 people and this summer’s Gaza War in which more than 2,000 people died.
He also criticized Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi who spoke from the same podium shortly before.
He said the democratically elected President of Egypt, Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, was overthrown by a coup, and the U.N. chose to legitimize the person who conducted this coup — a reference to El-Sissi.

It seems there is hope for the UN, after all. If rogues like Erdohan of Turkey are criticizing this long-ineffective body and are unhappy with it.
