Breaking news… MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli spoke at his party’s group meeting. MHP leader Bahçeli said, “The goal of a Turkey without terrorism is vital. When we say Turkey without terrorism, we simultaneously defend peace at home, deterrence outside, security at our borders, stability in our region and the unity of our nation. The goal of a Türkiye without terrorism will be pursued with determination.” he emphasized.

Highlights from Bahçeli’s statements:

The cauldron is boiling in the Middle East and new daggers are being stabbed into the heart of our region every day. The fire raging in the nearby geography has turned into a dangerous fire that darkens the skies and swells the seas, not only where it falls but also beyond the borders. Not every crisis in our region has emerged suddenly, there are imperial calculations. This is not the first time that our region has been subjected to desk-based calculations and externally imposed statuses. The Turkish nation cannot be cornered.

Israel challenges peace. If a bomb falls on the negotiation table, there is blackmail.

EMPHASIS ON A TERRORISM-FREE Türkiye

The goal of a terrorism-free Türkiye is vital. When we say Türkiye without terrorism, we simultaneously defend peace at home, deterrence abroad, security at our borders, stability in our region and the unity of our nation. The goal of a terrorism-free Türkiye will be pursued with determination.

Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi gave important messages to young people at the Grand Turkey Final of the Turkey Debate Competition organized by the Turkish Youth Foundation (TÜGVA). Çiftçi responded in a language he understood to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who attacked the scandalous statements targeting President Erdoğan and Interior Minister Çiftçi in his speech.

WE WILL NOT COMPROMISE

Stating that they will never compromise on their stance on Palestine, Minister Çiftçi said, “Türkiye’s word is followed with hope in every corner of the heartland, especially Palestine and Gaza. Because Türkiye’s word finds a response as trust in the hearts of the oppressed, as a prayer in sad geographies, as a call in the conscience of humanity.” That’s why our stance, our words and our sensitivity are so valuable. There will be those who will be disturbed by our sensitivity towards Palestine. Of course, there will be those who are uncomfortable with our connection to Jerusalem. There will also be those who are uncomfortable with us raising our voices against the genocide taking place before the eyes of humanity in Gaza. But we will never compromise on this stance,” he said. Çiftçi said: We will carry the cause of Jerusalem’s freedom in our hearts. We will feel the pain of Palestine in our conscience. We will listen to the cry of Gaza. We will see standing by the oppressed and fighting for a just world order as the most fundamental responsibility of being human. Our esteemed President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on every platform, supports the rights of Palestine, the oppressed of Gaza, the dignity of Jerusalem. The defensive leadership stance will also guide us. We will carry this sensitivity with the same belief, the same determination, and the same conscience, and we will not let anyone question this sensitivity.

THIS PATH, WHICH STARTED WITH WORDS, BECAME A LIGHT FOR HUMANITY

Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi gave important messages to young people at the Grand Turkey Final of the Turkey Debate Competition organized by the Turkish Youth Foundation (TÜGVA). He stated that the Holy Quran was sent down to humanity as the Divine Word, that the Prophet’s message began with words, that new horizons were reached from the Companions of Suffa to Beytülhikme, from Bukhara to Andalusia and finally to Istanbul, and that science was a light to humanity on this path. At the end of his speech, Çiftçi said, “I congratulate our Turkish Youth Foundation, which is a youth school where our young people meet their values, for this meaningful program.”

HE GIVEN AN EXAMPLE FROM ERDOĞAN TO YOUTH

Addressing the young people participating in the Türkiye Debate Competition organized by TÜGVA, Çiftçi gave an example from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to point out the power of oratory and debate. Referring to the first place he won with President Erdoğan’s friends in the High School Debate Competition, which he participated in when he was a student at Istanbul Imam Hatip School in 1972, Çiftçi stated that that first place turned into a path to reach the world podium years later, and that this stance went down in history as a strong call of conscience against global injustice.

GENOCIDENT KATZ’S DISPUTE

Minister Çiftçi’s statement, “When I was governor, I had a prayer from God Almighty. May God grant me the Governorship of Jerusalem even for one day…” was trending on social media. While Çiftçi’s statement caused panic in Israel, genocidal Israel’s Minister of Defense Israel Katz, in response to these words, made arrogant statements about the Ottoman Empire and Jerusalem. “To the Turkish Minister of Internal Affairs, who dreams and threatens to establish power in Jerusalem, I say this: Jerusalem is not Constantinople and the state of Israel is not the crumbling Crusader Empire; on the contrary, it is a strong and determined state that has proven its ability to defend itself against all kinds of threats,” Katz said.

Citizens who went to the polls in the local by-elections held in a total of 6 settlements that gained town status in Tokat, Gümüşhane and Nevşehir, elected new mayors. After the elections, the People’s Alliance candidates achieved a significant success by winning the race in five towns. Mayors who won the elections made evaluations to SABAH after the results.

Mustafa Özer, who was elected as the mayor of Mustafapaşa, Nevşehir Ürgüp: The unity of the People’s Alliance played an important role in the election success. The trust that the People’s Alliance municipalism gave to the citizens was reflected in the ballot box. We will continue to work with determination and determination to be worthy of this trust.

Mustafa Altın, who was elected as the mayor of Yolüstü town of Tokat’s Reşadiye district: With the vision of our President, our citizens will see the municipalism they deserve on the field.

Mustafa Karadağ, who was elected as the mayor of Bağtaşı town of Tokat’s Almus district: The work we have achieved so far is the greatest guarantee of the projects we will implement with the municipality’s resources and the AK Party’s work and service approach. We will now continue our service journey, which we started with the seal of the Mukhtar, with much stronger projects. We will work day and night to make Bağtaşı Municipality the shining star of the region with a transparent, fair and hard-working management approach.

Kemalettin Demirkıran, who was elected as the mayor of Gümüşhane’s Tekke Town: We will serve with our heads held high and our faces bright. With the understanding of AK Party municipality, we will provide our people with the services they deserve.

MHP candidate Hikmet Temizel, who won the election in Kuşçu town of Tokat’s Yeşilyurt district: The People’s Alliance emerged victorious from the ballot box in Tokat. We will work with an understanding of equal service to all our fellow citizens, without discrimination, marginalization, or vote preference. Our aim is to build a stronger, more livable Kuşçu… SABAH also asked the citizens about the election results. Farmer Ahmet Koçak (42) said, “The victory of the People’s Alliance candidates in the elections held in the towns is due to the fact that the citizens see this address as a safe haven. These results are the clearest indication that the People’s Alliance municipality is a safe haven. Recently, the news of corruption in the municipalities has fed up with the citizens. Citizens want service. They do not want to see news of sloppy ATM employees in the municipality, honeyed licenses, and a glorious life with public money.”

Well…
Under the appearance of a struggle within the CHP, “there is a violent march towards the new party and so-called heroism!”
Thus, there is a plan to set sail for new accounts with the new party, by creating grievances in the eyes of a part of the public, but leaving the main problems in the hands of the CHP!
If we were to read from today’s Group Meeting showdown…
We have before us the portrait of an aggressive Özgür Özel, who watches Baba Ocağı turn into a fire scene and puts the blame only on Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu! This march of Özel, who does not take the slightest initiative to renew the CHP and meet its original codes, is clearly political opportunism! Piracy can even be considered within the scope of political activity. Essentially, this move of Özel, who delayed the notification of the nullity decision and hastily had himself elected as the group chairman, included Kılıçdaroğlu’s “acceptance of the chairmanship!” We knew all this from the beginning… Finally, CHP’s Faik Öztrak, who put his foot on the ball, felt the need to explain the facts by doing his due diligence!

Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi attended the “Turkish Debate Competition Grand Türkiye Final” program organized by the Turkish Youth Foundation (TÜGVA). Minister Çiftçi, who started his speech with the lines “The turbid flowing waters will calm down again. Poles will be hammered into the sky again. The point of happiness will be reached again. An order beyond the ages will be established again. Ignorance is left with a cursed reed in its hands. Look at the horizon, my hero; the revolution is almost here”, Minister Çiftçi said that he was pleased to meet with the young people. Mustafa Çiftçi said, “You are the bannermen of a youth march that thinks, reads, researches, searches for evidence, and speaks with decency. This picture is strong, hopeful and the footsteps of the youth of the Turkish Century. Stating that the history of humanity is also the history of the word, Minister Çiftçi said, “The word is one of the greatest blessings that make people human. There is the word; It transcends ages, awakens generations, and raises up civilizations. There is the word; It gives direction to a nation and becomes a shield against oppression. In our civilization, the word; is personality. Word; It is responsibility. Language; “It is the mirror of morality,” he said.

“WE NEED TO BRING THE WORD WITH KNOWLEDGE, INTELLECTUAL DECITY, CLAIM WITH MORALITY”

Referring to Yunus Emre’s verses, Minister Çiftçi said, “A word ends the war; it can turn anger into tranquility, separation into brotherhood, darkness into hope. Therefore, we will always and everywhere do justice to the word. We need to bring the word together with knowledge, the idea with decency, and the claim with morality.” Referring to the importance of debate in the development of young people, Minister Çiftçi said, “Debate teaches us to speak in moderation, to defend the idea with evidence, to listen to the other person and to object with decency.”

“THERE IS THE WORD IN THE RESEARCH OF THIS NATION”

Emphasizing the tradition of science and wisdom of Islamic civilization, Minister Çiftçi said, “We are the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad, who sent down light with divine words into the darkness of ignorance, turned Yathrib into Medina, and turned every assembly into a school. We are the heirs of a great civilization that walks on the path of science, wisdom and wisdom.” Referring to the scientific journey of Islamic civilization, Minister Çiftçi said, “In our history, there is a pen as well as a sword. There is an idea as well as conquest. There is wisdom as well as courage. There is prayer as well as the state. There is speech, wisdom and decency in the yeast of this nation.”

“ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION GROWED WITH WORD AND KNOWLEDGE”

Stating that the Holy Quran was sent down to humanity as the Divine Word and that the Prophet Muhammad’s notification began with words, Minister Çiftçi said, “Islamic civilization grew with words in scientific circles, madrasah rooms, mosque podiums, councils and assemblies. That first scientific circle established in Ashab-ı Suffa became the cornerstone of a civilization and grew for centuries. With translation in Beytülhikme, “New horizons were reached with classification in Khwarezm, with wisdom in Bukhara, with wisdom in Baghdad, with aesthetics in Andalusia, and with state intelligence in Istanbul. Science has shed light on humanity in a great line extending from Al-Kindi to Imam Ghazali, from Cezeri to Davud el-Kayseri,” he said.

“IT BROUGHT HOPE TO THE HEARTS OF OPPRESSED NATIONS”

Stating that these platforms, these intellectual venues, have a very meaningful meaning in the history of the country, Minister Çiftçi said, “Our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan won first place with his friends in the Inter-High School Debate Competition, which he participated in when he was a student at Istanbul Imam Hatip School in 1972. The words that started that day in a high school platform turned into a leadership stance shouting the truth years later in the nation’s platform, the state platform and the world platforms. “What rose against injustice in Davos was ‘one minute’, and what rose from the podium at the United Nations was ‘The world is bigger than five’.” he said. Minister Çiftçi stated that this stance went down in history as a strong call of conscience against global injustice; “It brought hope to the hearts of oppressed nations. It showed that Türkiye is no longer a country that closes in on itself; it is a great state that defends rights, voices justice, and speaks out on behalf of humanity. Take a big share from this. Every idea you defend today can be the first step of a great claim that will serve your nation tomorrow. The courage you show today can turn into a stance that will be the voice of Türkiye tomorrow.” he said.

“INFORMATION AND NOISE ARE COMING TO US AT THE SAME TIME”

Stating that the age we are going through gives young people both opportunities and responsibilities, Minister Çiftçi said, “The digital world facilitates access to information. However, it also carries with it many new challenges that distract the mind, erode identity, target the family, and alienate people from their own essence. Information and noise come to us at the same time. Truth and lies are spreading at the same speed.” Stating that surviving in this age requires a strong spirituality, solid character, a deep-rooted sense of belonging and critical thinking, Çiftçi said, “Because the mind questions, the heart gives direction, conscience sets standards; spirituality keeps people alive.”

“Türkiye’S CENTURY IS THE CENTURY OF YOUTH”

Stating that Türkiye has experienced great transformations under the strong leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Minister Çiftçi said, “There is now a Turkey that leans on its own power and draws its own direction. With the permission of God Almighty, this march will now lead us to the ideal of a Great and Strong Turkey with the vision of the Turkey Century. The Turkey Century is the century of youth; the century of young people with ideas, moral and well-equipped young people. The Century of Turkey is the century of those who protect their faith, who protect their family, who protect their flag, who protect their state.” “It is the century of young people who take care of themselves.” made his statements.

“WE WILL NEVER COMPROMISE OUR STANCE TOWARDS PALESTINE”

Stating that Türkiye’s word is followed with hope in every corner of the geography of the heart, especially in Palestine and Gaza, Çiftçi said, “Because Türkiye’s word finds a response as trust in the hearts of the oppressed, as a prayer in sad geographies, as a call in the conscience of humanity. That is why our stance, our words and our sensitivity are very valuable.” Emphasizing that they will continue to have an uncompromising stance on Palestine, Minister Çiftçi said, “There will be those who will be disturbed by our sensitivity towards Palestine. Of course, there will be those who will be disturbed by our connection to Jerusalem. There will also be those who will be disturbed by our raising our voice against the genocide taking place before the eyes of humanity in Gaza. But we will never compromise on this stance.”

“WE WILL LISTEN TO GAZA’S CRY”

Minister Çiftçi stated that he will see standing by the oppressed and fighting for a just world order as the most fundamental responsibility of being human; “We will carry the cause of Jerusalem’s freedom in our hearts. We will feel the pain of Palestine in our conscience. We will listen to the cry of Gaza. We will see standing by the oppressed and fighting for a just world order as the most basic responsibility of being a human being,” he said. Stating that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s stance on Palestine gave them direction, Çiftçi said, “Our esteemed President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s leadership stance defending the rights of Palestine, the oppressed of Gaza, and the dignity of Jerusalem on every platform will also give us direction. We will carry this sensitivity with the same belief, the same determination, the same conscience, and we will not let anyone question this sensitivity.”

YOU WILL BUILD THE TURKISH CENTURY

Addressing the youth, Minister Çiftçi said, “Remember; the branches of the tree whose roots are strong reach the sky. Our root is faith, our trunk is the nation, our branches are science, technology, art and politics. You are the sprouts of this great tree reaching to the future.” Stating that, as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are working to ensure that young people can receive education in peace and prepare for a safe future, Minister Çiftçi said, “Our goal in every field, from our universities to our cities, from the digital world to our streets, is the same; to pave the way for our young people and to strengthen the peace of Türkiye. While you are building the Turkish Century with science, ideas, morals and production, we will work hard to strengthen the ground of peace and trust.” he said. At the end of his speech, Minister Çiftçi congratulated the Turkish Youth Foundation and said, “On this occasion, I congratulate our Turkish Youth Foundation, which is a strong youth school where our young people meet their values, grow up with the understanding of civilization, and grow their minds and hearts in the same direction, for this meaningful program.”
