“I CONGRATULATE YOUR RAMADAN”

President Erdoğan also thanked the Ministry of Internal Affairs, General Directorate of Security, Gendarmerie General Command and Coast Guard Command for bringing the participants together at this fruitful table and said, “I congratulate your blessed Ramadan, whose beginning is mercy, whose middle is forgiveness, and whose end is salvation from the torment of hell. On the occasion of this beautiful and meaningful meeting, from Malazgirt to the War of Independence, from the Cyprus Peace Operation to the fight against terrorism and the 15th anniversary of Ramadan.” I commemorate with mercy the heroes who were martyred for the peace, unity and vitality of our people until the July resistance. May their souls rest in peace. I wish a good and long life to our surviving veterans. I commemorate with gratitude the parents who sent their children to duty with the prayer of ‘Become a martyr or a veteran’, by putting the awareness of martyrdom and war at the center of their lives, and from the hands of all the parents who still keep this spirit alive. I kiss you.” he said.

“YOU ARE THE ONE WHO WRITE EPICS”

Erdogan, who thanked on behalf of the country and nation, as well as those in the hall, to all members of the security units who serve in all four corners of the country, in border regions, in the mountains, at sea and in our missions abroad, who are on guard duty and who are grateful to sacrifice their lives for their homeland and nation when necessary, said: “May God help you. I pray that God will protect you from all kinds of threats and attacks.” he said.

Stating that one of the golden words of wisdom of the ancestors is the manifesto “There is no unity without unity”, President Erdoğan continued as follows:

“The survival of our nation is also the unity of our nation. You are the ones who protect our peace and unity without refraining from any sacrifice, even if it means martyrdom. Today, if Turkey has turned into an island of peace, trust and stability that is envied in the world and its region, the lion’s share of this success belongs to you. Our police forces have fought hard struggles incomparable to other countries in our recent history, have successfully passed great tests, and despite the numerous assassinations of reputation they have been subjected to, they have defended every attack against our state against our independence.” Thank God, every game has been wasted. You are the ones who wrote epics in the fight against terrorist organizations without any discrimination.

You are the ones who give organized crime organizations no respite. You are the ones who do not tolerate poison merchants, gangs, and insolent people who consider themselves superior to the state and the law. You are the ones who eliminated foreign-rooted attempts to destabilize Türkiye, as in the Gezi incidents. You are the ones who did not allow spineless traitors, who constantly change color like a chameleon and take the shape of the container they enter, to attack our democracy on the night of July 15. You are the ones who foiled the plans of human smugglers and immigrant traffickers. You are the ones who saved thousands of lives in the life market in our seas. In our country, which hosts the richest treasures in human history, you are the ones who do not spare looters and pillagers. “You are the ones who come to the aid of those who are oppressed, regardless of their affiliation, belief, nationality or identity, and who work selflessly for the peace of our people without ever bringing the criminals to justice.”

“WE WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE THE HILLS”

Congratulating the police, guards, gendarmerie, coast guard and security guards as well as all members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Erdoğan said, “As the President of Turkey, I want you to know that I am proud of each of you and will always be proud of you. We will continue to attack whoever disturbs the peace of our people, whoever touches the security of our state, who attacks our freedoms and democracy.” he said.

President Erdoğan said that they will do whatever they can to ensure that the security units can perform their duties comfortably, as they have for 23 years, and that they will continue to support the security officers in every aspect.

Minister Gürlek said that justice begins first of all in the conscience, is shaped by the law and comes to life with the verdict, and noted that members of the judiciary carry a heavy trust.

Minister Gürlek said, “As a colleague of yours who came from within this organization, I can say this with peace of mind: Judicial duty requires not only knowledge but also patience, dignity and a strong conscience. The Board of Judges and Prosecutors is the institutional guarantee of this great trust. Every decision made by our Board is not only an appointment or promotion, but also a determination of the future direction of our judicial organization. In this respect, our responsibility is great.” he said. In his speech, Minister Gürlek said, “Independence of the judiciary is not a wish for us, but an indispensable principle. A strong judiciary survives with strong institutions and a strong professional honor.” he said.

“IT IS OUR COMMON DUTY TO PROTECT THE Dignity AND PROFESSIONAL HONOR OF OUR JUDICIAL ORGANIZATION”

Minister Gürlek stated that he was aware of the workload on the judiciary and continued his speech as follows: “I know the weight of social expectation. I also see how the climate of debate on the judiciary from time to time tires you, but be sure of this: This organization is not abandoned. Protecting the professional guarantee of each of you, strengthening the merit and preserving the respect of the justice service is our priority. It is our common duty to protect the dignity and professional honor of our judicial organization. Justice is not only about making the right decision; it is also about society’s decision.” “Trust is our most valuable capital.”

⁠”WE ARE DEVELOPING THESE TECHNOLOGIES TO BUILD THE Türkiye CENTURY WHERE WE WILL PUT OUR SEAL ON THE CENTURY”

President Erdoğan pointed out that knowing how to do something is of course important, but what is more important is knowing why that thing is done, and said:

“We are developing all these technologies to build the Turkey Century, in which we will put our stamp on the century as a nation, because we have a purpose, a goal, a cause. Today, I would like to share with you a point that I have expressed on different occasions: we do not have our eyes on a handful of anyone’s land. We are never after a power and influence based on domination. Our only concern is to build a Turkey that contributes to global peace and security, tranquility and stability, together with our region, at the highest level. Where everyone, friend and foe, is sure of their principled stance, “It is to build a Turkey whose words, attitudes and actions are followed closely by the whole world. This is why we put our hands and our bodies under the responsibility when necessary. I hope we will continue our path in this way by doing the right to be a great nation, befitting our history and values.”

“HE HAD ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE PERFORMANCES IN NATO”

“Our army wrote an epic story with our Bayraktar TB3 and TCG ANADOLU ship in the NATO exercise held in Germany,” said President Erdoğan, adding:

“In this important exercise, Bayraktar TB3 achieved one of the most remarkable performances of NATO by performing a firing mission in the difficult weather conditions of the Baltic Sea and landing safely at TCG ANADOLU. Bayraktar TB3, which remained in the air for 8 hours in coordination with Eurofighter warplanes, demonstrated its superior capabilities one by one by covering a total distance of 1700 kilometers. I heartily congratulate each and every brother who contributed to these achievements, which brought a new breath to the concept of naval aviation. May God have many more years to come.” I hope that you, us, and all of us will be able to bring success and many works to this beloved nation.”
