The Daily Telegraph don remove one article wey falsely put statements wey fit make people vex for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after the paper editor-in-chief admit say the quotes 'old or complete made-up'.

The article wey dem publish on Saturday, 12 April, claim say Erdogan threaten to invade Israel, and dem base am on fabricated remarks wey dem say e make for one political event.

The report quote the Turkish president as saying, 'As we enter Libya and Karabakh, we fit enter Israel', statements wey e neva make at all.

Telegraph editor-in-chief Paul Nuki issue short public statement to acknowledge the error. E write for social media: 'Hello, we don take the story down. The quotes dey look like old or complete made-up. Sorry.'

The matter don raise fresh questions about editorial standards for one of Britain most established newspapers. The report come out during renewed tensions for the Middle East after a fragile ceasefire, time wey misinformation about actors for the region fit get serious consequences.

Plenty Western media outlets don dey misrepresent Türkiye's foreign policy positions and dey distort statements wey Turkish officials make.

Ankara don dey call international media organisations again and again to uphold basic journalistic standards when dem dey cover Turkish affairs, dey warn say fabricated or decontextualised reporting dey fuel anti‑Türkiye feeling and dey undermine diplomatic efforts for unstable regions.

The Telegraph never issue formal correction beyond the small social media post wey Nuki put.
