AK Party Deputy Chairman Ahmet Büyükgümüş had an iftar meal with citizens in the ‘GençNokta’ iftar tent, which was established since 2007 to commemorate the start of Ramadan. Making a statement before the iftar, Büyükgümüş stated that recently a war has been declared on the values ​​of the Turkish nation, using the principle of secularism as an excuse, and said, “We have put forward a picture in Ramadan where young people and children can benefit from the Ramadan climate at the highest level. We will take this even further. We will never hold back just because those gentlemen are disturbed.”

“AK GENÇLİK WILL CONTINUE TO STAND BY YOUTH”

Stating that they will continue on their way with determination, Büyükgümüş continued as follows: “If we have fought with dignity but also courage, we will continue our stance against those who try to collapse on society like a nightmare by returning to old Turkish habits and using the principle of secularism as an excuse for other things. I believe that AK Youth will continue to stand by young people wherever there are young people in every corner of Türkiye, in our 973 districts, 81 provinces.”

Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan stated that while workers and civil servants work day and night at their places of duty, they continue to work non-stop to protect the reward of this labor and to improve the living conditions of the workers.

Minister Işıkhan wished that the fasts, prayers and good deeds made during the holy Ramadan would be accepted by Allah in the “Labor Table Meeting” iftar program held at Beştepe Nation Exhibition Hall with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Işıkhan wished God’s mercy to Air Pilot Major İbrahim Bolat, who was martyred as a result of the crash of the F-16 plane taking off from the 9th Main Jet Base Command in Balıkesir, and expressed his patience and condolences to his family and relatives.

Stating that they are fortunate to share the same table with the workers who build Türkiye’s future at the factories, workshops and benches that have the biggest share in the development of the country, Işıkhan said that it is very meaningful for them to participate in this meaningful meeting under the leadership of President Erdoğan.

“WE STRENGTHENED THE GAINS ACHIEVED BY OUR WORKERS”

Işıkhan emphasized that Türkiye is standing tall and continues on its way stronger and more determinedly, thanks to the labor and production of the workers, and said, “While you are working day and night in workshops, factories, mines, production processes, construction sites, fields, wherever production and service are available, we continue to work tirelessly to protect the reward of this labor and to improve your living conditions. Our esteemed President Recep Tayyip “Under Erdoğan’s strong leadership, we have strengthened our social security system, taken our employees’ union rights to a higher level, and strengthened the gains achieved by our workers and made them permanent.” he said.

Reminding that President Erdoğan declared May 1 as a public holiday as Labor and Solidarity Day, Işıkhan said that the value given to labor is guaranteed by the state.

“WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO, GOALS TO REACH”

Işıkhan always asks “How can we create more job opportunities, how can we provide income for more people?” Stating that they act with this understanding, he continued as follows:

“With the will of our President, we have transformed the social security system, which had come to the point of bankruptcy, into a strong, sustainable and exemplary social security structure. Once upon a time, our citizens were experiencing despair at the doors of hospitals, but today, everyone has easy access to health care, treatment and medicine, thanks to the established system. We saw the sweat of each of our workers as the mortar of this country’s independence, development and strong future. We are also happy to see that we have become stronger in working life, employment and social security with the projects we have recently implemented. It does.

The unemployment rate has been in single digits for about 3 years. We have reached historic best levels of employment and workforce participation. The unemployment rate among young people, one of the areas we focus on the most, dropped to its lowest level at 14.9 percent. We will further reduce this rate with our youth employment initiative, the POWER Project, which we will implement upon the instructions of our President. The unemployment rate for women, which was 11.1 percent, dropped to the lowest level in the last 13 years. We never think that where we are is enough. We know that we have more work to do and bigger goals to achieve.”

“WE WILL BUILD THE TURKISH CENTURY STEP BY STEP”

Stating that President Erdoğan is a leader who knows the value of labor and takes the sweat and prayers of his brow behind him, Işıkhan said that he always guides this nation and gives them strength and courage.

Işıkhan concluded his words as follows:

“Today, I would like to express on behalf of every individual of our beloved nation that we will continue to walk with the same determination on the path you have opened, in line with the goal of a great and strong Turkey you have set. We know that your leadership is a struggle to protect the rights of the workers, to strengthen the independence of our state and to take Türkiye to its rightful place in every field. With the strong will you have demonstrated in every field, from economy to security, from diplomacy to social policies, under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey will build the Century step by step and this great “Hopefully, we will raise the work together.”

The ultimate goal is for the terrorist organization to disarm completely and then dissolve itself. After that, the discretion belongs to the Parliament. But I would like to point out that there will be no perception of personal impunity, general amnesty or a personal regulation.”

Penal Code, CMK 12, the place of crime is important. At that time, the place of crime was decided to be Istanbul, but at the discretion of this court, in the future, a decision of lack of jurisdiction and release may also be given. This process is completely under the control of the independent judiciary.” He replied:

“OUR MARTYRS ARE MARTYRS OF ISLAM”

In his speech at the AK Party TBMM Group Meeting, Erdoğan emphasized that Islam is in the foundation of the Turkish nation.

Pointing out that what makes a nation a nation and what keeps the nation together despite all kinds of differences are spiritual values, Erdoğan said that the army is also the “house of the prophet”.

Erdoğan said, “Our martyrs are the martyrs of Islam. Our victories are victories in the direction of ilayi kalimatullah. When you take away the call to prayer, the Quran, the love of the prophet, Ramadan, fasting, zakat and alms from the foundation of this nation, there will be no history, no future, no nation or state left.” he said.

The words of the National Anthem: “These adhans whose testimony is the foundation of religion/I should moan from above my eternal homeland.” Reading his verses, Erdoğan stated that the adhans will wail over the eternal homeland, and thus, no one will be able to raise their hand or tongue against the independence of the nation that worships God.

“We are the children of a nation that has established great empires and built great civilizations.” Erdoğan said, “The Quran, the love of the prophet, faith and fasting are the basis of our great states that have brought peace to three continents throughout history, and the basis of our civilizations that have guided the world. Ahmet Yesevi, Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, Yunus Emre, Mevlana, Ahmedi Hani and many more have mixed the mortar of this country and this nation with the loud voice of Islam.” he said.

“NO ONE CAN WALK A FINGER AT US WITH UGLY AND UGLY STATEMENTS”

Underlining that when the Adhan, the Quran, the Prophet, Yunus Emre, Hacı Bektaş Veli are forgotten, nothing will remain of the nation, Erdoğan said:

“No one should try to give us a lesson on minority rights. No one should try to give us a lesson on freedom of belief. We are not a nation that will learn these values from outside. We are a nation that has taught these values to the world and will teach them to the world. We have been in these lands for a thousand years. There have been Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Sunnis, Alevis, Christians, Jews and many more in these lands for a thousand years. While different sects were slaughtering each other in Europe, our ancestors established the unique scales of living together in these lands. Those who want to see freedom of belief Let him look at Türkiye and learn from it. Those who want to see a fair approach towards different beliefs should look at Türkiye and learn from it. We do not need to import foreign concepts and values from abroad. We have endless respect for every belief, every sect, every spiritual value. We also defend and protect the national and spiritual values that make this country a homeland. “No one can point a finger at us with their projects, minds contaminated with imported ideologies, and ugly and filthy declarations.”

President Erdoğan stated that in previous periods, there were people who were disturbed by the call to prayer, the Quran, the mosque, prayer, fasting and Ramadan, and that they attempted to invade the country and tried to take the veil of Anatolian women, and that the necessary lesson was taught in the War of Independence.

Pointing out that the nation will do the same thing again when the same dirty hands reach out to the same sacred and magnificent values, Erdoğan continued his words as follows:

“If anyone insists on not learning from history, welcome. Turkey will grow as Turkey, no one should forget this. We will grow with our own essence, our own spirit, our own state, nation and civilization values. We will rise from where we fell, not by imitating others, but as ourselves, as ourselves, as Turkey, we will rise from where we fell, we will stand up, and together with 86 million people, hand in hand, heart to heart, we will build the Turkish Century with our own values.

On this occasion, I would like to congratulate our Minister of National Education, our entire national education community, especially our teachers, and of course our beloved students. I embrace each and every one of our children, who have turned our school gardens and mosques into flower fields, with love, and I say, may the prayer of God never fade from their lips and the love of Prophet Muhammad Mustafa from their hearts. “Turkey is much bigger than thought, and we will continue to show this greatness in the field of national education, as in every field, and to make it known to the people of the century with healthy, knowledgeable, well-equipped generations who know, recognize, implement and keep alive their national and spiritual values.”

“WE CONTINUED OUR CONSTRUCTIVE AND OPEN TO COMPROMISE ATTITUDE DURING THE REPORT PHASE”

In his speech at the AK Party TBMM Group Meeting, Erdoğan stated that they are taking firm steps towards their goals despite the traps set for democracy, attacks on the unity and well-being of the nation, and games that try to force them into shallow and fake agendas.

Noting that significant progress has been made and promising developments have been made in the “Terror-Free Turkey” process, which they started last year as the People’s Alliance and carried out as a state project, Erdoğan said:

“The latest National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission completed its negotiations and opinions, which it has been carrying out since August 5, last week. The final report was approved with 47 votes in favour, 1 abstention and 2 rejection votes, with the consensus of all political party groups represented in the commission. As the AK Party and the People’s Alliance, we continued the constructive and compromise-friendly attitude we have exhibited since the first day, at the report stage. In order for the commission to properly fulfill its mission, we take risks at critical junctions.” “We did everything we could, including entering the parliament. Both our Speaker of the Parliament and our friends representing our party within the commission made an extraordinary effort. We did not allow the commission to deviate from its focus and be diluted with agendas that had nothing to do with the purpose of its establishment. Thank God, we managed to pass another stage of the process successfully with the contribution of other political party groups.”

“THE PROCESS REPORT IS A HISTORICAL DOCUMENT”

President Erdoğan emphasized that the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission listened to 137 institutions and individuals, 4,200 pages of minutes were kept in the Commission, and the report prepared after a comprehensive consultation process presented a very valuable road map on what needs to be done from now on.

Erdogan continued as follows:

“I would like to express frankly that the report, which was written as a result of complete democratic maturity, complete consultation and a political compromise rarely seen in our political history, is a historical document as well as a recommendation document. The report is a very valuable signature put on Türkiye’s common future and the strengthening of the brotherhood of 86 million people. It is obvious that those who are eager to speculate by tweezing the words from the report do not serve the well-being of the process. The pleasing aspect of the issue is the report and the process The fact that those who want to overshadow it is in the minority and the majority of our nation fully embraces the goal of ‘Terrorism-Free Turkey’. We find the spirit of consensus that marks the report very valuable. The political institution has gathered both serious energy and great confidence, especially in terms of the steps to be taken from now on. The responsibility of our party and our alliance will of course increase in the new phase. “We are entering a period in which we need to maximize the solidarity, coordination and cooperation between us.”

“WE HAVE TO GROW OUR HOPE AND EXPAND OUR COMMON GROUND”

Erdoğan stated that they will manage the new phase of the process with peace and quiet, and that they will first achieve the goals of “Terror-free Türkiye” and then a terror-free region, and used the following expressions:

“In every step we have taken so far, in every decision we have made, in every policy we have implemented, we have acted in a manner befitting the seriousness of our state, without hurting our martyrs’ relatives and veterans. We will continue in the same way, we are determined to do so. Being a great state is possible by thinking big. We are a great state with its history as well as its conscience and mind. We are a great nation that has given order to humanity for centuries. That is why we will think big. We will trust in the power of the Republic of Turkey. We will continue in the eternal brotherhood of the Turkish nation until the end.” “It is a fact that Turkey has achieved a historic opportunity to become a regional and global power as a result of 23 years of hard struggle. We will not allow this. I believe that our nation will not allow it. We cannot build our common future, especially on the pains that leave a mark on our memories. We have to raise our hopes and expand our common ground.”

Emphasizing that their expectation from other political parties is that they continue their democratic, conciliatory, positive and reasonable stance in the commission and in the Parliamentary work, Erdoğan continued his words as follows:

“No center of mischief has ever been able to stand in the way of the thousand-year-old brotherhood. Today, if anyone tries to stand in the way of this flood of embrace and love that spills beyond our borders, that flood will drag everyone in front of it and sweep them away from these lands. We will fight for a Turkey where everyone is one, together and live in peace and brotherhood, not on the side that increases hatred and anger, as we have done for 23 years, but on the side that defends justice, rights, law and democracy, and we will never hesitate to make sacrifices when necessary for this cause.”

In response to a question from a press member during his exit from the Parliament, President Erdoğan said that İmralı is a prison run by the Ministry of Justice.

Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran attended the ‘Türkiye-Somalia Relations in the Global Transformation Process Panel’ held at the Directorate of Communications. Federal Republic of Somalia Minister of Ports and Maritime Transport Abdülkadir Muhammed Nur, Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism of the Federal Republic of Somalia Daud Aweis Jama, the Somali delegation and many guests also took part in the program.

Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran pointed out that Türkiye’s approach to Africa is different from other countries and said, “Evaluating Africa with one-dimensional readings is to miss the real story of the continent. Africa is the continent of ancient civilizations, unique natural beauties and rich cultural diversity. Today, Africa is becoming one of the new centers of attraction of the global economy with its young and dynamic population, resource wealth and regional integration steps. For this reason, we approach our relations with Africa with the understanding of equality, mutual respect and common gain. Investment, trade, technology, “We aim to produce more together, grow together and build a future together in many areas including education, infrastructure and defense industry. Because we believe that the rise of Africa is a strong opportunity not only for Africa, but also for a fairer and more balanced international order on a global scale,” he said.

‘WE ARE AGAINST ISRAEL’S INITIATIVE IN SOMALILAND’

Duran said, “Any initiative that targets the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Somalia and attempts to legitimize this is never acceptable. Turkey stands by Somalia today, as it did yesterday. We see standing against such impositions as a principle, not a choice, and we will never step back from this principle. We are clearly and clearly against Israel’s attempt to recognize Somaliland. We are against Israel’s genocide in Palestine and its regional politics.” “We will not tolerate it carrying its aggression to the Horn of Africa. We consider this step as an extremely dangerous move that harms the delicate security balance of the region and drags the Horn of Africa into uncertainty,” he said.

‘SPACE BASE PROJECT WILL LEAD TO NEW OPPORTUNITIES’

Emphasizing that the cooperation between Turkey and Somalia has expanded, Duran said, “We bid farewell to the Çağrı Bey ship, which will drill off the coast of Somalia, as previously announced by our President. Let us not forget to mention our cooperation to develop Somalia’s technical capacity in the field of fishing. Finally, I would like to mention our space base project, perhaps our most important cooperation in Somalia. In addition to increasing the international prestige of Turkey and Somalia, this exciting project creates new opportunities in many areas such as security, defense industry and technology sharing.” “I foresee that it will lead to opportunities. In the coming period, we aim to deepen the Turkey-Somalia partnership not only in the current topics, but also in a wide range of areas, from maritime to food security, from renewable energy to digital transformation, from education to health, logistics and investments. Thank God, these are very good developments and it is possible to extend this list. Our aim is to contribute to the common prosperity of the two countries with projects that create capacity in the field and increase the institutional power of Somalia.”

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin made important statements in the live broadcast he attended on A Haber. Responding to the ‘secularism declaration’ with 168 signatures, Minister Tekin said, “Those who wrote this declaration are the reactionary minority.”

THERE IS NO SITUATION TO EXCESS

Minister Tekin said, “I have not yet seen any criticism that I would take seriously in a pedagogical or academic sense.”

Some people say things with different accusations, different definitions and prejudices, but they have no scientific basis. Our main concern is that our children come to school with pleasure and enjoyment, and that they learn by having fun. It is quite natural for them to come one day with the anthem of their favorite football team, there is no need to exaggerate this. In sociological terms, the social structure, history and civilization of every country develops through children’s games. In our games, children learn cooperation and solidarity. That’s why we wanted environments where our traditional children’s games are played in our school gardens.

MAIN DUTIES

We wanted our children to start with awareness activities that will make peace, human rights, democracy and the rule of law dominant in our country and that they will understand that our flag is an instrument that offers us these areas. Referring to the fact that this is one of the main duties of the Ministry of National Education from the constitution and our relevant legislation, especially the National Education Basic Law No. 1739, we wished to organize a Ramadan event on volunteering.

RESPONSE TO THE SECULARISM DECLARATION

The definition of secularism that I have gained from all these years of reading; They are political regimes where people’s freedom of religious belief and worship is guaranteed. Contrary to this stance, the oppressive attitude towards the faithful is anachronistic. These groups ignore the joyful atmosphere in schools and the excitement of children. In a country where 99 percent are Muslims, those who describe the lively children in schools and these enthusiastic activities as ‘the provocation of the reactionary minority’ are the real reactionaries. People who define themselves as artists and intellectuals have no right to insult this nation.

“I WILL TAKE IT TO JUDICIAL”

On behalf of the community I represent, our students and parents who voluntarily participate in these events, I decided to take the matter to court, considering that these serious insults are a series of crimes that definitely require an apology. We will take the process to court. ANKARA

INDIGISM OF THE KNOWN GUARDIAN CORONA

168 writers, artists, academics, journalists and professional chamber representatives, including Korkut Boratav, Oğuzhan Müftüoğlu, Hayri Kozanoğlu, Merdan Yanardağ, İlhan Cihaner, Melike Demirağ, Ayşe Kulin, Müjde Ar, Şükrü Erbaş, Rutkay Aziz, Canan Güllü and Timur Soykan, signed a joint statement. In the text titled “We Defend Secularism Together”, it was stated that “Defending secularism is not a crime. We defend secularism together, we reject sharia impositions! These moves have come to the point of ignoring the provocations and attacks of the reactionary minority against the calls for secularism rising from the society, and punishing those who defend the secular republic – disregarding the Constitution – as if they were ‘criminals’. Defending secularism is not a crime.”
