Stating that we are in difficult times in the world, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik used the following statements in his post:

“We are in difficult times in the world. All values are being turned upside down. All international institutions are becoming ineffective. We witness monstrous examples of the use of force every day. In these difficult times, it is a matter of survival to develop and increase our own means and capabilities to protect our country and regional peace. For the security and survival of our state and nation, it is imperative that we develop our UAV/SIHA capabilities, the technology of today and the future, and our ability to use artificial intelligence for peace. We are an example to the world in using intelligence and technology for peace on the basis of defense and deterrence, against the tyrannical use of intelligence and technology.” “We are forming. Congratulations Baykar.”

“Türkiye HAS CREATED AN EXCELLENT INFRASTRUCTURE IN EDUCATION IN THE LAST 23 YEARS”

Bilal Erdoğan stated that he had come to Bingöl several times before for non-governmental work and said that it was very nice to see that schools were being built in Bingöl today through philanthropists.

“Education is something that the whole society should support, stand behind and contribute to.” Erdoğan stated that 25 years ago, while the number of students per class was 35-40, today it has decreased to 20, and the number of students per teacher has decreased from 35-40 to 15, 16, 17.

Erdoğan stated that Türkiye is either at the same point or at a better point in terms of physical infrastructure in education with the most developed countries in the world and said:

“In terms of educational results, in the TIMSS and PISA results, which measure the educational results of 42 countries of the OECD, which constitute the most developed countries in the world, Turkey was always at the bottom in these exams and measurements held every three years, until 25 years ago, it has risen steadily in these 23 years and today it has reached the top 10 and the top 5. In other words, we are now successful in education in Türkiye in terms of academic results. Today, our children in secondary school will carry these results to their university years. Türkiye Today, its universities have reached a record number among the world’s top 1000 universities. We also follow that with each passing year, more and more of our universities enter the top 1000 and move higher in the rankings.

Therefore, this means that Türkiye has created an excellent infrastructure in education in the last 23 years. Now we will start to reap its fruits. How do we see? The number of children and young people who participated in the latest TEKNOFEST competitions exceeded 1.5 million. Without this infrastructure, 1.5 million of our children and young people would not be able to participate in technology competitions. Now these children, our children who participated in those competitions, will become the new Selçuk Bayraktars of the world. “Even though we have this infrastructure, this claim, and of course all this infrastructure and these good examples, if we did not have a leader like our President, who claimed to carry Türkiye to the top league in the world and made the whole nation adopt this, I guess this self-confidence would not be reflected in these young people.”

Stating that children should be approached as fragile flowers and “how can I support and nurture this child?”, Erdoğan said:

“Our Minister of National Education is really putting forward very good work. We have actually entered a very important new phase with the Turkey Century Education Model. A curriculum system that centers competencies and prioritizes the needs of the future. When all these efforts come to fruition, I believe that Turkey will continue to be an island of stability in the region we call the ring of fire, where so many wars take place. Not only that, it will also be the power that creates the peace and tranquility of its region. I wish good luck to all of you. God bless you.” “We congratulate you on your Night of Power and Eid.”

After the speeches, plaques were presented to businessmen Serdar Turhan and Burak Burulday. Later, with the participation of Vice President Yılmaz and Science Dissemination Foundation Board of Trustees Chairman Erdoğan, Bingöl Governor Cahit Çelik, AK Party Bingöl MPs Feyzi Berdibek and Zeki Korkutata and Bingöl Mayor Erdal Arıkan, the ribbon was cut and Yaşar Turhan Anatolian High School was opened.

After the program, Yılmaz and Erdoğan and their entourage attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Serdar Turhan Campus Children’s Houses Site.

Yılmaz and Erdoğan later participated in the NGO program held at the Bingöl Science Dissemination Society Conference Hall.

Minister Işıkhan, who came to the city to make contacts, visited Batman Governorship.

Işıkhan, who signed the Governor’s Honor Book, met with Governor Ekrem Canalp.

Işıkhan, who later attended the “Loyalty Iftar” program organized by the AK Party Provincial Directorate, said in his speech that he was pleased to be at the iftar table.

Thanking the provincial organization that organized the program, Işıkhan stated that the city is the city of labor, production, ancient history, oil and civilization.

Stating that Batman is talked about not only for its oil but also for its young population, textiles, agriculture and belief in the “Turkey Century”, Işıkhan said, “We stand behind such a leader that he is the hope of not only Türkiye but also the oppressed geographies. Under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we have been saying ‘no stopping, keep going’ for 24 years. Today, Turkey is not the old Turkey anymore, it is the one that sees the traps set, disrupts the games set up, and has a say in the world.” “There is a Türkiye that is resting. What gave us this self-confidence is the strong support given by the loyal people of Batman to our President. You stood tall and Türkiye became stronger.” he said.

Explaining that, as the Ministry, they are carrying out studies to increase employment, Işıkhan said:

“Our vision is to build a working life in Batman where our youth can find jobs, our workers get their rights, and our retirees find peace. In this direction, we offer many incentives and supports as the state. We have provided 12 billion liras of incentives to Batman to improve the working life since 2002. With the contributions of these incentives, Batman has come to this day and become one of the locomotive cities of the Turkish Century. With our new organized industrial zones, employment incentives and local development moves, we are giving our region and Batman the place it deserves.” “We will definitely take it to a higher level.”

Congratulating healthcare professionals on March 14 Medicine Day, Işıkhan thanked healthcare professionals for their devoted work.

AK Party Batman Deputy Ferhat Nasıroğlu, Provincial Chairman Hüseyin Şansi, mayors, provincial and district organization members and party members attended the program.

Vice President Yılmaz and Science Dissemination Foundation Chairman of the Board of Trustees Bilal Erdoğan attended the iftar program given by the philanthropic Turhan family in a wedding hall as part of their contacts in Bingöl.

In his speech here, Yılmaz congratulated everyone on the month of Ramadan and said that he was very happy to be together with the people of Bingöl at the Ramadan table.

Stating that Bingöl has a special place in the heart of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and that Erdoğan has a special place in the hearts of the people of Bingöl, Yılmaz said:

“Hopefully, we will see the days when Bingöl and our President meet in the coming period. The month of Ramadan, the month of abundance, mercy and forgiveness, you are always on the field as the AK Party organizations in this month. We are aware that you are doing work that touches the hearts of our people. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your work. May God Almighty bless you all. I would like to thank everyone who has served our AK Party organizations since the day it was founded, at whatever level, office, “I would like to thank all my brothers who sincerely serve this cause, regardless of their position or title.”

Reminding that they were in a period when the region turned into a ring of fire, Yılmaz stated that they continued to advance towards their goals and build the Türkiye Century under the astute leadership of President Erdoğan.

“While, on the one hand, we are making every effort to resolve the problems in our region diplomatically and to stay away from conflicts and wars, on the other hand, we are determinedly carrying out the Terror-Free Turkey process in terms of strengthening our internal front and reinforcing our unity and solidarity.” Yılmaz stated that they will achieve their goals.

Stating that they continue their efforts to build a stable, growing economy with all their strength, Yılmaz continued as follows:

“While we are growing, we are making every effort to combat inflation, which is a problem for our citizens and therefore also for us. Unfortunately, what has happened in the recent period has a negative impact on economies, including wars. The incident in the Strait of Hormuz also negatively affects the world economy, especially fuel, natural gas, fertilizer and logistics costs. We are taking measures to minimize the cost to our citizens. We follow the events and developments closely. For example, we made a recent decision on fuel. “When there was a 100-unit increase, we decided to pass on 25 percent to our citizens and shoulder the 75 percent as the state, and we switched to the system we call Ezel Mobile. These developments are less reflected in fuel pump prices. Hopefully, these human costs, economic and environmental costs will remain at the lowest level. As the Republic of Turkey, we are making every effort in this direction.”

Pointing out that they are trying to eliminate regional imbalances while developing the country on the one hand, Yılmaz explained that they cannot achieve the Turkey Century goals only with metropolises and metropolitan cities, but by activating the potential of each province at the highest level.

In this sense, Yılmaz stated that they are moving towards the days when Bingöl contributes more to the development of Türkiye by using its potential at the highest level, and said:

“Bingöl has come a long way in 23 years, no matter what anyone says. If Aleppo is there, its cubit is here. It has gone through a great transformation with its infrastructure, superstructure, roads, university, education and health facilities. It is as if Bingöl was rebuilt together with the People’s Alliance during the AK Party period. Currently, we are completing our shortcomings. Our 500-bed hospital will be completed this year, with God’s permission. A new campus will be formed in health. The 250-bed hospital next to it will be completed.” With the hospital, a large campus with a capacity of 750 beds will be created. Hopefully, when our 750-bed hospital becomes a research hospital, the people of Bingöl will need to be transferred to other provinces much less. Drinking water was a serious problem. Thank God, our municipality completed our drinking water pipeline with a big project. We hope to not have any problems with drinking water this summer. “We continue our roads on the east, west, north and south axis. We are renewing our airport and a new tender will be held.”

Emphasizing that the development of a province and a region cannot be achieved only through public investment, and that the development of the private sector is also very important, Yılmaz stated that it is important to increase private investments.

Pointing out that they will see private sector investments develop much more in the coming period in an environment of peace and trust, Yılmaz concluded his speech as follows:

“SÜTAŞ has been a huge investment. There is employment for nearly a thousand people. Forage crops and milk are purchased from thousands of our villagers. On the other hand, a large iron ore was found in Bingöl. Erdemir Oyak will invest at least 500 million dollars here. This is a very strategic project that will reduce Türkiye’s iron imports. Hopefully, we will see this come to life. Our organized industry is full, now we are expanding it. In small industry, we will build one of Türkiye’s largest small industries in Bingöl. “Our urban transformation work and social housing work continues. Our municipality and local governments are continuing their good services. We are not a party or a movement that puts words into words. We will continue this with all our strength. Regardless of the conditions of our region and the world, I congratulate all our citizens on the Night of Power.”

“OUR COUNTRY IS THE ISLAND OF STABILITY”

Bilal Erdoğan, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Knowledge Dissemination Foundation, said that they came together in Bingöl today on the occasion of various programs.

Erdoğan said, “I hope the blessings of the month of Ramadan will be the blessings of our lives. I hope our country will move towards a much stronger future under the leadership of our President, as an island of stability in this region that has turned into a ring of fire. I hope that all of you at this beautiful table will meet in prayers to reach both the Night of Power and the Eid with blessings. I entrust you all to God.” he said.
