President Erdoğan spoke at the ‘Host Türkiye-Ankara 31 thousand 73 Housing Draw Ceremony’ at Beştepe Nation Congress and Culture Center:

We wrote the biggest success story in urbanism in our earthquake zone. Keeping our promise to our nation, we completed 455 thousand 327 independent sections in 3 years. As the state, we undertook the entire infrastructure costs of 455 thousand houses and gave a 50 percent discount to our citizens on the remaining price. We have also created a very comfortable and advantageous payment plan for our earthquake victims. Accordingly, our citizens who will settle in their new homes will not make any payments for the first two years. Afterwards, he/she will make the payment without any difficulty in fixed and very low-priced installments spanning 18 years.

Praise be to God Almighty who did not embarrass us to our nation. Of course, I would also like to express this here. While we were trying to get back on our feet as a state and a nation in the days when we experienced the disaster of the century, we have given the best answer to those who went fishing in muddy water and competed to grab logs from the flood, especially the main opposition party, to those who tried to exploit the pain of our earthquake victims immorally, to those who tried to deceive our people with empty promises in the squares and promised free houses, free workplaces, free tractors, to those who mobilized themselves to ensure that our government and our alliance remained under the rubble, in short, to all the earthquake tourists. On this occasion, I would like to once again sincerely thank all my brothers who trusted their state, believed in their nation, and supported us by maintaining hope and fortitude during those testing days.

We gave the good news to the nation that we would build 500 thousand houses in 81 provinces with the Home Owner Türkiye Project, the biggest social housing move in the history of the Republic. Our nation showed great interest in the Housing Project of the Century and 8 million 800 thousand people applied for the project. I pray to God that our rightful brothers and sisters will live in health, peace and pleasure in these houses that we will complete and deliver in our earthquake zone this year and in other cities, including Ankara, starting from March next year.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST TEACHERS

May God have mercy on teacher Fatma Nur Çelik, who passed away in a heinous attack at a high school in Istanbul Çekmeköy yesterday. There can be no justification or excuse for violence against our beloved teachers. It is unacceptable behavior in our belief and culture. Our Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office initiated a judicial investigation and our ministry initiated an administrative investigation. As a nation, we will pursue this incident, which saddens us all, with determination, and whatever is necessary will be done to ensure that the perpetrator receives the punishment he deserves.

Relatives of martyrs and veterans who attended the program showed love to Erdoğan.

CEASE CEASE IS BEING VIOLATED IN GAZA

Those living in Gaza, the West Bank and other occupied Palestinian territories once again welcomed Ramadan with sadness. The Israeli government is clearly violating the October agreement by deliberately blocking the entry of humanitarian aid. Despite the ceasefire, over 620 of our Gazan brothers were martyred in Israeli attacks in the last 5 months. Unfortunately, the cities of the oppressed in Somalia, Sudan, Arakan and many other places are having a sad time during Ramadan.

WE MOBILIZED FOR PEACE

As Türkiye, we continue our work focused on peace, tranquility and stability with determination. We have taken and continue to take all necessary precautions to keep Türkiye and the Turkish nation away from these dangers. With the peace-oriented diplomacy we carry out, we make intense efforts to solve the problems in a fair and equitable manner, at the table, through dialogue and negotiation. We have mobilized all our resources to ensure that our region is freed from this pressure as soon as possible, before more blood is shed, the fire spreads more, and there is no more hostility between sister countries.

IRAN WAS ATTACKED AT THE INCITATION OF THE ZIONIST LOBBY

Unfortunately, the wave of tension in our region tends to spread day by day. The air operation against Iran, provoked by the Zionist lobby, was added to the conflicts that broke out between Afghanistan and Pakistan last week. Missile and kamikaze drone attacks against sister countries in the Gulf further deepened the atmosphere of instability. Unfortunately, in these holy days, the lands in different parts of our region continue to be wet with blood and tears.

Speaking about the current issues at his party’s group meeting in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli reacted to the attacks on Iran. Drawing attention to the terror-free Türkiye process, Bahçeli said: The USA’s attack on Iran, provoked and organized by Zionism, will cripple regional and global balances. Aggression is immoral. I unhesitatingly condemn the domineering and aggressive attacks on Iran. No one recognizes international law. There will be no one with intelligence and logic in the world who would claim that the laws of the forest are not valid. Where were the negotiations going on? Israel’s attack on Iran’s religious leader Ali Khamenei while he was in a meeting with bureaucrats and the resulting massacre of those present at the said meeting is absolutely despicable. Zionist banditry pushed and pushed the USA to attack Iran.

A TRAP HAS BEEN SET

Iran was set up under the guise of negotiations. After Khamenei’s death, MOSSAD agents recorded snapshots under the ruins and sent them to Netanyahu’s office. Isn’t that an indication of horrifying organized aggression? The political and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran must be protected.

Iran belongs to Iranians. We reject the Zionist-imperialist ferocity to the end. Ankara is not only our headquarters. It is also our strategic center born from the reality of Anatolian geopolitics. The importance of the home front and the value of national unity were better understood. It is impossible to isolate our country from the terrible disasters that have befallen our neighboring country, Iran. You ignorant people who sneer at the goal of a terror-free Türkiye, do you see what we are aiming for? Do you draw conclusions from the circle of fire around us, mentalities that shamelessly distort our sincere call to Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood?

WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THE VOTE?

When do you think the political freaks who are trying to compete with us on the issue of love for the homeland and nation and national unity will understand what kind of disaster we have come back from? Our vote was this and that, it’s all nonsense; What should we do when the homeland and nation are lost, when the state rule loses its personality? Both the Tel Aviv media and former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett made the following claims: ‘Türkiye is the new Iran’… A retired US colonel reinforced this nonsense with delirium, saying ‘After Iran, it’s Türkiye’s turn’. There is no village beyond death, because the historical and spiritual truth that if we die, we will become a martyr, if we stay, we will become a veteran, is also mandatory. I hope that the conflicts between Pakistan and Afghanistan will end. The conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan and the US-Israeli partnership’s war with Iran must be directly intervened with peaceful solution strategies. It is our sincere wish that an atmosphere of peace will flourish under the leadership of our President, with his admirable and intense diplomatic contacts.

A ceasefire MUST BE DECLARED IMMEDIATELY

Meanwhile, speaking at the iftar dinner attended by the provincial and district heads of his party, Bahçeli said, “The one who started this unjust war is obvious, if mutual attacks do not stop, the stones of the 3rd World War will be laid, a ceasefire should be declared immediately, we are always with our friend and brother Iran; the chain of war should be broken, the language of peace should prevail in the region.”

The A Team of Mustafa Çiftçi, who assumed the position of Minister of Internal Affairs, began to take shape. Minister Çiftçi changed 3 Deputy Ministers as soon as he took office and made an important appointment to his close working team. Minister Çiftçi appointed Kübra Güran Yiğitbaşı, Ali Çelik and Mehmet Cangir as Deputy Ministers and appointed experienced journalist Hasan Öymez to a critical position to manage the communication strategy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan visited the Consulate Call Center in Ankara’s Kızılay district, made inspections and received information about the activities.

Fidan, who listened to a few of the calls made to the Call Center, said in his statement during the visit that the requests and questions of Turkish citizens from all over the world were answered at the center.

“WE RESPOND TO OUR CITIZENS’ DEMANDS”

Fidan said, “We are currently located at the Consulate Call Center. Our friends are active here 24/7. The demands and questions of our citizens all over the world are answered. Especially our friends in the missions in the field and our friends in the center manage and answer these calls with the help of software.”

“THERE ARE A LOT OF REQUESTS AND QUESTIONS”

Emphasizing that there is intense activity in the center, Minister Fidan said:

“Our friends are responding to calls in many languages. There are many requests, especially in recent days, due to the Iran war, there are many questions and requests from our citizens in the adjacent region. These are received here, guidance is given, and if there are further steps that need to be taken, they are conveyed to the higher authorities and the situation is immediately addressed.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had a telephone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

In the statement made by the Directorate of Communications on the subject, “Our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, had a telephone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Şerif. The leaders discussed bilateral relations between Turkey and Pakistan, as well as regional and global issues. During the meeting, our President stated that he condemned the terrorist attacks in Pakistan, that Türkiye will continue to support Pakistan in its fight against terrorism, and that we will contribute to the re-establishment of the ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which was achieved with the initiatives of our country. President Erdoğan said, “He stated that reactivating diplomacy in the region would be of great benefit regarding the conflictual process that started with the attacks on Iran, and that Türkiye was ready to provide all its support to this.” statements were included.

PAKISTAN PRIME MINISTER SHERIFF: “WE DECIDED TO STAY IN FREQUENT CONTACT”

Sharif made a statement about his phone call with President Erdoğan in his post on the social media platform of US-based company X. Noting that they discussed the escalating situation in the Middle East during the meeting, Sharif stated that he strongly condemned “Israel’s attack on Iran” and “the subsequent sad attacks on the Gulf countries”. “I informed President Erdogan about my contacts with the brotherly Gulf leaders and confirmed that Pakistan is in full solidarity with them and that we are ready to play a constructive role in reducing tensions and promoting dialogue,” Sharif said. he said. Prime Minister Sharif emphasized that they agreed that all parties must show maximum restraint in order to prevent further escalation of tensions. Stating that they also exchanged views on the latest developments in Afghanistan, Şerif said, “We decided to remain in close and frequent contact in line with our common goal of peace and stability in the region.” he stated.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the iftar program with members of parliament at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye. Stating that they are careful not to harm even a single hair of the 86 million people while missiles are flying in the air in our region, and that they will continue to be astute in the face of injustice, President Erdoğan said, “As Turkey, we are on the side of peace.”

“OUR WORLD IS DRAWING TOWARDS A CHAOTIC PERIOD”

Emphasizing that not only the region and geography but also the world as a whole is going through critical periods, Erdoğan underlined that we are all experiencing an axis shift at the global level, where international institutions and organizations become ineffective, the balance of power gradually deteriorates, international agreements turn into a patchwork, international law is largely shelved, and the traditional understanding of diplomacy is abandoned.

President Erdoğan stated that the world system established after World War II was crumbling and shaking from its foundations, that the world was getting hot enough to ignite at the smallest spark, and that global injustice was becoming deeper and more chronic, and that while the old order was collapsing, it was not yet known exactly what would be replaced.

“Our world is rapidly drifting towards a chaotic period where brute force and the law of the strong prevail.” Using the statement, Erdoğan pointed out the process that started with attacks on neighboring Iran.

Erdoğan said, “On this occasion, we are witnessing these once again. Principles such as multilateralism, sovereign equality, and resolution of disputes through diplomacy, symbolized by the United Nations system, have been turned into idols that are eaten when hungry by the founders of this system. Those who have been talking to us about law, human rights and freedoms for years, themselves ignore these values ​​today and see no harm in violating them.” made his assessment.

“WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF EASTING THE TEARS OF THE OPENED AND PREVENTING OPPRESSION”

President Erdoğan emphasized that Türkiye’s attitude is clear in such a sensitive conjuncture where uncertainty, tension, conflict and lawlessness have become the norm, and continued as follows:

“We are never neutral on issues that concern our region and humanity. We are not neutral on incidents that disturb the peace of our brothers and neighbors. We are not neutral on issues that threaten the future of the whole world. On the contrary, as Turkey, we are on the side of peace, tranquility and stability, solidarity and cooperation, universal values, justice and development, solving problems through dialogue and diplomacy, negotiation instead of conflict, peace instead of war. Not murder, massacre, banditry, genocide and genocidaires, “We are on the side of right and truth, keeping people alive wherever they are. We are on the side of relieving the tears of the oppressed and preventing oppression. Hopefully, we will always maintain this line and this stance. Just as we have come to these days by breaking the rules, just as we have bravely shouted for the truth wherever there is oppression while those who teach us democracy and human rights remain silent, we will continue to stand up against injustice with the permission of God and the strong support of our beloved nation.”

Stating that they will continue to think prudently, be cool-headed and act with common sense, Erdoğan said, “We will continue to be careful, cautious, patient, but also as astute in the face of injustice and banditry, in order not to harm even a single hair of the 86 million people, especially when missiles are flying in the air in our immediate surroundings.”

“WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE Türkiye CENTURY”

Erdoğan stated that in the days when the world was sailing in stormy waters, Türkiye was preparing for the Century by strengthening the infrastructure, economy, diplomacy, army and defense industry, and strengthening national unity.

Emphasizing that one of the cornerstones of the Turkey Century vision is the work carried out with the aim of a Terror-free Turkey and a terror-free region, Erdoğan said Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s words: “Great national troubles have so far only been healed in the Grand National Assembly. It will only be possible to find definitive measures there.” Recalling his statements, he noted that these findings still remain valid.

Pointing out that the Assembly has demonstrated its skill in writing national prescriptions for national problems on different occasions since April 23, 1920, President Erdoğan said, “This Veteran Assembly, thank God, still has the capacity, acumen and democratic maturity to find solutions to all kinds of problems that hurt the country and the nation, no matter how complicated they are.” he said.
