AK Party Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman visited the ArtAnkara 12th International Contemporary Art Fair held at ATO Congresium and received information about the works from the artists. Making a statement to journalists after examining the works, Yayman stated that the fair is one of the most important events not only in Ankara, but also in Türkiye and the geography, and congratulated Bilgin Aygül, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ATIS Fuarcılık, who undertook the organization.

Yayman stated that the works of artists from approximately 45 countries were exhibited in the fair area and said:

“Art and culture are among the most important instruments that keep us together. In our country, we all talk a lot about politics, war and foreign policy. In a sense, it is very valuable and valuable to engage in art and cultural activities that will give us a breath of fresh air in our daily lives. Anyone can be an engineer, a farmer, a carpenter, but not everyone can be an artist. Being an artist is very valuable and precious. One of the most important topics that keep us together as a nation is art, culture and sports, and therefore we are very grateful to be at this beautiful art event in Ankara today.” I would like to say that I am very happy.”

“NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE BIG LEAPS”

Emphasizing that they stand by all artists, Yayman said, “The problem of our artists is our problem and I would like to express that we are always happy to be with them. Turkey, with a population of 86 million, has achieved many successes under the leadership of our President. Now is the time for culture, it is time to make great breakthroughs in art, music and creative arts.” he said.

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli answered journalists’ questions after the opening ceremony of the 23rd Term Education and Training Year of his party’s Politics and Leadership School at the MHP Headquarters. Stating that the 23rd term of the School of Politics and Leadership, which MHP introduced to Turkish political life, has been completed, Bahçeli pointed out that nearly 800 people who have participated in the training have graduated so far.

Prof in the party. Dr. Mehmet Eröz and Prof. Dr. Bahçeli stated that 40 people in Erol Güngör’s classes have started classes as of today, and that general evaluations will be made on the developments in the world and in Türkiye with the lessons attended by experts in their fields, and that those who participate in the training will deserve the 23rd term certificate with the evaluation to be made at the end of 11 weeks.

Bahçeli stated that the School of Politics and Leadership will continue to serve as an example, pioneer and leading institution in Turkish politics.

In response to a journalist’s question about the attacks of the USA and Israel against Iran, Bahçeli emphasized that the Republic of Turkey follows the developments in the region very closely.

Stating that efforts are being made to establish an environment of peace and tranquility that will not allow conflicts in the world, including neighboring countries, Devlet Bahçeli said:

“Today’s political power, especially our esteemed President, and especially the Minister of Foreign Affairs, are making important contacts in terms of ensuring peace, silencing the weapons and achieving peace. In the light of the evaluations they have made so far, thank God, although there are significant violent incidents and major conflicts around, they have preserved Türkiye in unity and solidarity with an understanding that keeps it out of the war. As the Nationalist Movement Party, within the scope of the People’s Alliance, we would like to thank today’s valuable administration, our esteemed President and I wish success to our Minister of Foreign Affairs.”

“REGIME CHANGE MUST START WITH ISRAEL”

Stating that his wish is for the guns to fall silent as soon as possible, Bahçeli continued his words as follows:

“While silencing these weapons, I invite people who have described themselves as a superpower, but who are eager to make regime changes that contradict the national will of each country, against their will, to respect humanity, democracy and the existence of countries. First of all, if there is to be a regime change, as I have stated many times in the past, this regime change must start from Israel, and Israel’s dark ambitions must end. We want them to strive to bring peace to the region and the world again. The most important responsibility for this is the United States, under today’s conditions.” “It is up to the States.”

Pointing out that the US administration makes different statements every day and that the Turkish media presents these statements as if a new development will occur every day, Bahçeli emphasized that this leads to a mistake that will shake society’s confidence in peace.

Bahçeli said, “Administrators, especially our dear media friends, should undertake the task of enlightening the society in the best way by discussing the facts. Otherwise, I hope that no mistake will be made by re-expressing what the head of a state does every day.” he said.

“NOT BASED ON REsentment”

Answering the question about MHP Deputy Chairman İzzet Ulvi Yönter’s resignation from office, Devlet Bahçeli stated that Yönter asked for permission to focus on his academic career studies and said, “He asked for permission to focus on his academic career studies and to further the doctorate title he has earned today.” he said.

Stating that Yönter will continue to serve Türkiye with his academic studies and wishing him success in his studies, Bahçeli said, “The resignation from us is not based on any resentment, it is not a structure similar to the events seen in different parties. It is the result of a division of labor that one of our friends made within the framework of his own understanding while continuing both his political and academic career. Therefore, I wish him success in his academic career.” he said.

Announcing that a new deputy chairman will take office in a short time, Bahçeli said, “The service process will continue. In the Nationalist Movement Party, concepts such as resentment, resentment, anger and revenge are very foreign to us. It is necessary to think for the best in everything.” he said.

Noting that they are making intense efforts to keep Türkiye out of this war, Kalın said, “These efforts continue without a break. As of today, we are intensifying our efforts to ensure that this war does not spread to the entire region, does not become more destructive, and does not cause permanent damage in the future.” The International Strategic Communication Summit (STRATCOM), held by the Presidential Directorate of Communications in a hotel in Beşiktaş with the theme “Rupture in the International System: Crises, Narratives and the Search for Order”, continues with its second day programs. MİT President İbrahim Kalın made a speech within the framework of the event.

MIT President İbrahim Kalın said, “I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations to our Director of Communications, Mr. Burhanettin, and his team for organizing this communication summit. They brought us together in such a critical period and gave us the opportunity to talk about important issues. In this age where communication becomes increasingly important, thinking about information, narrative and power will provide important clues about what and how we tell. Since the pandemic, our world has been going through many critical thresholds, crises and ruptures. The Russia-Ukraine war, which started in 2022, has entered its 5th year. Unfortunately, we do not yet have a clear picture of how the war will end. The effects of the war that started with Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, continue today. While our efforts to implement this period, especially the Gaza peace, Israel’s violations, occupation and annexation policies continue without any interruption. We continue to feel the effects of the Syrian revolution that took place in Syria on December 8, 2024, in our entire region. “We are currently in the middle of the Israel-USA-Iran war, which started on February 28 and has been going on for a month. Under the leadership of our President, our Minister of Foreign Affairs, our Minister of National Defense, our Directorate of Communications and all our other relevant friends, we have made a very intense effort, stating that a world system based on unpredictability, fragility and arbitrary use of power will only produce new crises and wars,” he said.

“WE MADE AN INTENSE EFFORT TO KEEP Türkiye OUT OF THIS WAR”

Stating that they are working to end the war in the middle of this war within about a month, Kalın said, “We have made intense efforts to keep Türkiye out of this war. These efforts continue without a break. As of today, we are intensifying our efforts to ensure that this war does not spread to the entire region, does not become more destructive, and does not cause permanent damage in the future. But unfortunately, this regional war initiated by Israel is gradually turning into a global crisis and, in the words of our President, turning into a war for which 8 billion people pay the price. All our efforts will be to end this war as soon as possible. I must also state that a great fire of discord has been lit in our region with this great war. One of the calculated consequences of the war is not only the elimination of Iran’s nuclear capacity, but also the taking of steps that will pave the way for a brotherly war, a blood feud that will continue for decades between the Turks, Kurds, Arabs and Persians, who are the founding and essential elements of the region. We, as Turkey, will always be on the alert. “We will not be the party carrying wood to the fire of discord. If necessary, we will cool the fireball on our chest. We will stand against those who try to spread the fire with our own dynamics, values and leadership,” he said.

“WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO OUR BEST EFFORT TO PREVENT SUCH PAIN FROM AGAIN”

Stating that the war against Iran has no basis in international law, Kalın said, “We know very well that those who started this war are not limited to Iran alone, but are pursuing a new occupation policy by creating de facto situations in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and other lands. The war has spread beyond Iran to all Gulf countries. As wrong as the war against Iran is, the war against the Gulf countries does not serve any purpose. On this occasion, I wish God’s mercy to all our brothers who lost their lives in Iran and all regions. To prevent such suffering from happening again.” “We will continue to do our best,” he said.

Presidential Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün attended the ‘STRATCOM SUMMIT Summit’, organized for the 5th time this year by the Presidential Directorate of Communications.

‘TODAY’S DEFENSE INDUSTRY ARCHITECTURE IS SHAPED ON THE BATTLEFIELD ITSELF’

Speaking at the program, Presidency Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün said, “Türkiye’s UAV and UCAV platforms have not only achieved export success; they have played a leading role in reshaping the concept of modern conflict. Electronic warfare and cyber operations have emerged as invisible but decisive dimensions of conflict. Space has become a new field of competition. Satellite networks, commercial imaging capacity and secure communication infrastructure have become integral parts of military power projection. Artificial intelligence increases situational awareness, accelerates decision cycles and logistics. Software has now become a strategic variable of equal weight to hardware. The most critical conclusion to be drawn from this entire transformation is: Real-time feedback from the field directly determines both the speed and direction of industrial adaptation. This close and uninterrupted dialogue between the field and the industry. Agile approach. We all witness that those who adapt quickly remain behind in the competition. “They become strategically vulnerable,” he said.

‘CURRENT REPORTS DESCRIBE Türkiye AS THE ‘RISING AGILE PLAYER’ ON THE MAP OF THE DEVELOPING GLOBAL DEFENSE FORCE’

Görgün said, “Today, Türkiye’s defense and aerospace ecosystem includes more than 4 thousand companies, more than 100 thousand direct employment, a turnover of more than 20 billion dollars, and an export of more than 10 billion dollars to 185 countries in 2025 alone. These figures do not represent an abstract growth story. These are the concrete reflection of a national capability architecture, unique design capacity and a sustainable depth of industrial competence. Our President Recep Tayyip is responsible for making this transformation possible. “I would like to respectfully acknowledge the decisive role of Erdoğan’s leadership, guidance and unwavering support. Placing this journey in a global context makes its importance even clearer. Current reports describe Türkiye as an ’emerging agile player’ on the evolving global defense power map; a country with battle-proven systems, a flexible production model and the capacity to deliver defense capability as an ‘operational package’ rather than a standalone platform,” he said.

‘WHEN COUNTRIES PRODUCE TOGETHER, THEY DO NOT ONLY SHARE SYSTEMS; ‘THEY INVEST IN THE FUTURE TOGETHER’

Görgün said, “Looking towards 2035, a defense industrial power will not be determined by who spends the most, but by the following: Who produces the fastest, who establishes the deepest supply chains, who turns battlefield lessons into products the fastest, who can turn alliance networks into industrial power. Turkey is building exactly in this direction. The capacity we have built with the National Technology Move, our human capital and our increasing dominance over strategic materials, now contributes not only to the security of Türkiye, but also to the security of the nations we partner with. “Türkiye’s defense industry cooperation approach is based on a long-term capacity development model that goes far beyond platform sales. We develop together, produce together, transfer technology and establish sustainable industrial relations. Security is ultimately built on reliable and permanent partnerships. When countries produce together, they share information, share plans and invest in the future together. This cooperation model enables mutual benefit, long-term value creation and strategic trust building.”

‘Türkiye KNOWS THE VALUE OF THIS ROAD FROM ITS OWN EXPERIENCE’

Defense Industry President Haluk Görgün said, “Technology transfer also carries a significant weight in this context. Turkey knows the value of this path from its own experience. Our journey from dependence to autonomy has taught us first-hand how technology transfer can transform local capacity. Therefore, we understand and support the aspirations of partner countries that want to embark on a similar journey and stand by them in this process. The increasing determination of emerging markets to strengthen their own defense ecosystems opens a very meaningful new partnership geography for Turkey. In our relations with these countries, platform sales boundaries are far beyond limits.” Beyond that, we prioritize software integration, maintenance and maintenance infrastructure, digital support architecture and common industrial capacity. Turkey is advancing on this path with confidence, awareness of responsibility and a clear sense of purpose. The Turkish defense industry will continue to contribute to this developing architecture with domestic talent, responsible innovation, strong partnerships and continuous investments in our human capital. Let me finish my words with a message I would like to clearly state: This performance is strategic for the sustainability of our ecosystem. It is important and a source of justified pride. However, exports are not the ultimate goal for us, but only a tool for long-term strategic cooperation. Every system we develop, every partnership we establish and every export we make serves the sustainability of this foundation. A strong defense industry does not threaten peace; it strengthens the foundation on which peace stands. Our defense capacity is positioned as the guarantor of this peace today and in the future. “By acting with this understanding, we will continue to be a strong pillar of national security, a reliable partner for friendly and allied countries, and a constructive contributor to regional and global stability,” he said.

BOTH ARE ‘BANKAMATIC’

It was learned that his other lover AA was detained in Kocaeli. During the detention process, Yalım opened the door wrapped in a towel and asked the police for permission to change. Afterwards, Yalım opened his password and handed over his phone to the teams entering the room. However, during the search, a second phone belonging to Yalım was found hidden in SA’s underwear. The phone, which was thought to contain evidence regarding the events subject to investigation, was taken by the teams.

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, whose municipalities were mired in corruption, supported the corrupt mayors. Finally, Özel, who defended Yalım, who was caught in his hotel room with a 21-year-old municipal employee, and criticized the detention footage, targeted SABAH Newspaper. Özel said, “Özkan Yalım is responsible to his family for those images, he is responsible to our party.

We are also responsible to the people of Uşak. We do whatever our responsibility requires. The state police camera went to the door and entered. But the private life of the nation is entrusted to the nation. Police camera footage will be in Sabah Newspaper in a few hours. Today, in all the media, those who iced yesterday are showing images of icing today. “I am ready to undertake whatever ethical responsibilities fall on me and my party and to do what is necessary, no matter who or what wrong was done there,” he said.

CONFESSION OF DISGRACE FROM ÖZEL: I APOLOGIZE TO MY NATION

Admitting that the resulting images were a disgrace, CHP leader Özel said, “But I was ashamed of my nation for those images. I apologize to my nation for these disgraces, and unfortunately, I am in great distress because we have opened an area for them to commit this disgrace in such a dirty war.” he said.

AK Party Spokesperson Çelik visited the International Strategic Communication Summit (STRATCOM) organized by the Presidential Directorate of Communications in a hotel in Beşiktaş with the theme “Breakage in the International System: Crises, Narratives and the Search for Order”.

Making a statement to journalists after visiting the halls where the panels were held with Presidential Communications Director Burhanettin Duran, Çelik noted that the summit, where panels were held regarding the world’s agenda, was a very appropriate organization.

Stating that humanity, on the one hand, and humanity’s effort to understand the truth are under attack, Çelik said, “Actually, the two are going synchronously. In fact, Netanyahu, the head of this genocidal network, said that while all these massacres were continuing, they also had to make new preparations for social media and that they were preparing content for TikTok and similar platforms. The genocide in Gaza, the unlawful and illegitimate attack on Iran by America and Israel, when you look at all these, it is actually a huge propaganda machine to mislead and darken humanity.” “You see he uses completely different methods.” he said.

Stating that it is important which event will be remembered with which concept and with which analysis it will be put in place, Çelik said, “We see that the power groups behind all these unjust attacks and wars also interfere with communication methods and use propaganda to cover up the truth.” he said.

Çelik stated that journalists were physically targeted while working under difficult conditions in the region, and that aggression continued against them, and added:

“At the same time, there is a world in which the news made by those who want to make the voice of truth heard is manipulated, tried to be subverted and covered up. Currently, it is necessary to establish a new line of resistance against these false narratives, against these attacks aimed at covering up the truth, obscuring or obscuring the true values ​​of humanity. In other words, when we say humanity alliance, when we say humanity front, we mean human values, and at the same time, we must express that an effort should be made to tell the story of humanity accurately.”

“NETANYAHU IS A PERSON WHO DIRECTLY SIGNATURED THE MASSACRE OF CIVILIANS AND THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS”

Stating that those who confiscate the ancestral lands of Palestinians should be called “aggressors, thieves”, but the world media sees them as settlers, Çelik said that this should be called correctly.

Çelik continued as follows:

“For example, Netanyahu has been shamelessly waging a massive terror campaign bombing and killing civilians in Iran for days, but when an incident occurs in Israel, he stands before the eyes of the whole world and says, ‘It is unacceptable to target civilians in these conflicts.’ he says. Yes, targeting civilians from any side is unacceptable. But this is not something Netanyahu would say. Because Netanyahu is a person who directly committed the massacre and killing of civilians. Therefore, a great strategic war is being waged not only about the physical side of the war, but also about communicating the truth of the war, where the narrative is, who is the aggressor, who is the innocent, and putting all these in place, about communication, news, and putting the concepts in place.”

Stating that STRATCOM has become a hundred times more important in this period, Çelik continued his words as follows:

“We see that those who wage this war, especially the Zionists and the attackers on all sides, are in some organizations aimed at killing people, as well as making a great investment in distorting the narrative here. They are playing with algorithms. Therefore, what we call algorithms today, especially the manipulation of algorithms on social media, actually continues as an extension of the war. You know, as it is said, attributed to Clausewitz, that war is an extension, a continuation, of politics… Currently, communication and the placement of these concepts in their place have essentially emerged as a part and extension of the war.” is being set.”

“THIS ATTACK IS INHUMAN, ILLEGAL, UNFAIR AND AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW”

Regarding the attacks of the USA and Israel against Iran, Ömer Çelik stated that the reason for all the disasters and crimes against humanity in the region was the attacks carried out by America and Israel together.

Stating that innocent children were killed in their schools and hospitals were bombed in Iran, Çelik stated that it turned out that the claim that “Iran does not agree to an agreement” has no basis, like the claims in the Gulf War.

Çelik noted that everyone who participated in the negotiations, which would continue in Oman and then in Geneva and other places, stated that the negotiations were progressing step by step and said, “If you look at it from the US perspective, these news are not denied, the security apparatus reports that Iran does not pose a threat and such a war would be wrong here… Whatever happens, even if the reports are to the contrary, this attack is an inhumane attack, an illegitimate attack, an unjust attack, an attack against international law.” he said.

Pointing out that the main issue is to stop these attacks by America and Israel, Çelik said:

“There is something here, from the shooting of some targets to the Israeli side’s demand for regime change. It seems that there are different opinions. First of all, Israel’s demand for regime change regarding the surrounding countries is actually an illegitimate demand in terms of international law. If you start bombing a country just because you do not like its regime, then everyone in the world will get into conflict. If someone really takes Israel’s security seriously, if they care about it, they will stop and say, ‘Israel has the right to defend here.’ We should not encourage the Netanyahu government to commit more massacres. On the contrary, today the Netanyahu government needs to change. What threatens both regional peace and people’s lives today is the genocide network and Netanyahu, the leader of the genocide network. Some people say ‘May Israel live in safety.’ They say: “The way for those who say this to undermine this is for the Netanyahu government to leave office.”

Çelik said that at today’s point, “Iran must fulfill the following conditions.” He stated that they had heard various statements being made, but that the real aggressor should give up its attack and said, “You cannot impose a condition on a state or a nation that would destroy its entire infrastructure, state architecture and human living conditions.” he said.

Çelik emphasized that the real issue is to stop this unjust, unlawful and illegitimate attack of the USA and Israel, which will engulf the entire region and cause much greater disasters, and added that he hopes the talks in Pakistan will create a good basis for achieving this result.
