After the NATO Leaders Summit, all those who came Frankly, I owe a debt of gratitude to our guests.

HOPE WE WILL BE GRANTED

I hope there may be European championships ahead of us from now on, I don’t know, world championships again.” “We would be very happy if we could achieve such success. Of course, this would be very good for Türkiye. I hope we are ready for this,” he said.

ERDOĞAN SIGNED, THE SOUND OF ADHAN WAS RISED FROM CONQUEROR’S TRUST

Hagia Sophia was used as a church for 916 years until the conquest of Istanbul, as a mosque from 1453 until it became a museum with the decision taken in 1934, and served as a museum for 86 years. Permanent Foundations Association for Service to Historical Monuments and the Environment filed a lawsuit in the Council of State, requesting the annulment of the decision of the Council of Ministers regarding the conversion of Hagia Sophia from a mosque to a museum. The Council of State’s decision paved the way for worshiping in Hagia Sophia again. Erdoğan signed the decree on reopening Hagia Sophia for worship on the same day. Erdoğan attended the first Friday prayer in Hagia Sophia on July 24, 2020 and read Surah Fatiha and the first 5 verses of Surah Al-Baqara in the mosque. The adhan was recited by 4 muezzins from 4 minarets. Muhammed UZUN/SABAH

WE WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE ENTHUSIASM IN THE WASTE

MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli: Happy opening of Hagia Sophia to worship. We will continue with determination and faith to disturb the internal and external occupation fronts, which have lost sleep not only after the conquest but also after the conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque, and to leave their enthusiasm in their tracks.

LOYALTY TO THE CENTURY-OLD TRUST

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş: Hagia Sophia is one of the strongest symbols of a nation’s will engraved in history and its loyalty to a centuries-old trust. This sacred trust left to our Istanbul by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror regained its original identity 6 years ago with the historical determination of Mr. Erdoğan. This is not just the reopening of a temple for worship, but a strong expression of protecting our history and civilization. I congratulate the anniversary of Hagia Sophia’s reopening for worship with my most heartfelt feelings, and I pray to God that every takbir echoing from this sacred place and every prayer rising to the sky will unite hearts, strengthen brotherhood, and bring hope to the oppressed.

STRONG WILL, HISTORICAL DETERMINATION

AK Party Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik: Hagia Sophia was reunited with its true meaning and identity 6 years ago today. We express our gratitude to our President, who has the will to realize this meaningful resurrection. Hagia Sophia will continue to be one of the spiritual roots of our land with its meaning, adhan and yeast until eternity.

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek: This sacred temple, which was reopened for worship with the decision of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, continues to bear the traces of our civilization for centuries. Hagia Sophia Mosque hosts adhans, prayers and prostrations as the living memory of our foundation civilization. I pray to God Almighty that the calls to prayer from its minarets will not cease until the end of time.

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin: “Happy 6th anniversary of the reopening of the Hagia Sophia Mosque, the symbol of the conquest, for worship. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Erdoğan, who demonstrated a historical determination with his strong will in reopening the Hagia Sophia Mosque for worship.

30 MILLION VISITORS IN 6 YEARS

Deputy Mufti of Istanbul, Arif Cevlek, said, “The restoration of its original identity in the Islamic world, especially among Muslims in Türkiye, has, so to speak, brought peace to the hearts that have been burning with this longing for years with the slogan ‘Let the chains be broken, let Hagia Sophia be opened’. The interest shown in the mosque has maintained its liveliness as on the first day. Local and foreign visitors visited Hagia Sophia for both worship and to see its historical and artistic aspects. After it was reopened for worship, more than 30 million people visited Hagia Sophia.” “A lot of people visited,” he said.

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek said that there may be new detentions within the scope of the Dude investigation. Gürlek, who made a statement on the subject in the television broadcast he attended, stated that the process was shaped by the findings that emerged during the Şile Municipality investigation carried out during the period of the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. Reminding that approximately 245 million dollars of donations were collected through the Friendship Association after the February 6 earthquakes, Gürlek stated that this reached approximately 4.3 billion TL with the exchange rate of the period. Gürlek emphasized that, according to the financial data obtained in the investigation, it was determined that Haluk Levent bet a total of 990 million TL in legal betting companies.

Gürlek said that while Haluk Levent wanted to go abroad on July 12, he learned about the international travel ban imposed on him, and noted that he turned off his mobile phone upon this development. Gürlek stated that the prosecutors evaluated the interruption of the phone signal as a preparation for escape and stated that it was evaluated that Haluk Levent was planning to go to Izmir and cross the Greek islands by boat. Gürlek explained that for this reason, the operation date was brought forward and a detention decision was made. Pointing out that the investigation is continuing, Gürlek stated that many promissory notes, money transfers and real estate transfers in the file are being examined, and that there may be new operations and detentions in line with new evidence. Gürlek said, “There is a very big organization.”

With its historical moves in the Eastern Mediterranean, Türkiye is foiling the tricks of Israel, Greece and Greek Cypriot Administration, who want to implement their dirty plans, one by one. NAVTEX was declared valid until August 30 for the 101-kilometer pipeline planned to be built in TRNC and seismic research in the Mediterranean.

Turkey-TRNC NATURAL GAS LINE PROJECT

With the completion of the line, a route will be designed to supply natural gas from Türkiye to Cyprus, from Cyprus to Türkiye and from Türkiye to Europe. It is evaluated that the bi-directional line will also contribute to the transportation of Eastern Mediterranean gas to Europe via Turkey in the future. With the completion of the project, safe, uninterrupted, sustainable and cheaper energy will be provided to the TRNC.

The historical steps Türkiye has taken in the Blue Homeland, together with the projects it plans and domestic drilling ships, are causing panic in Israel, Greece and the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus. The triple alliance, which declares its discomfort with the rising Türkiye at every opportunity; Even though they try to prevent Ankara’s moves, they are helpless in the face of geopolitical realities.

Sakarya University Middle East Institute Faculty Member and SETA Foreign Policy Researcher Dr. Lecturer Member Mustafa Caner made striking evaluations on the subject to Sabah.com.tr. Providing important information about the region, Mustafa Caner especially said, “Türkiye’s actions in the Eastern Mediterranean follow a calculated and strategic line. Turkey has a decisive position in terms of both energy and security that Europe cannot ignore. Underlying Israel’s seemingly energy and economy-based actions lie purely geopolitical reasons, and one of them is trying to squeeze and limit Türkiye.” he emphasized.

ISRAEL’S STRATEGY TO SURROUND Türkiye

While provocative statements by Israeli officials such as ‘There may be contact with the Turkish army at sea’ have increased recently, Mustafa Caner, regarding Israel’s purpose in the Eastern Mediterranean and their cooperation with the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus/Greece, “Israel, stuck in the Palestinian and Iranian areas, is trying to find a way out in the Eastern Mediterranean in accordance with its strategy of expansion and surrounding Türkiye.” he said.

“CHP SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM ME!”

So how was the division in CHP reflected on the streets? The voter expressed his thoughts about the seat fight and division within the CHP into the AHaber microphone. Here is the voter’s clear comment about the seat fight in CHP that resulted in a split:

-In order for the electorate to divide their votes, people must trust him. Corruption and moral problems took him away from CHP. I think they will react to not voting on behalf of CHP. They do not practice democracy within themselves.

-CHP should stay away from me. What should he do to the nation that cannot get along with itself? May God give us a chance so that it doesn’t happen to us. May God give long life to our President and may he always be with us.

BREAKING NEWS… Separation debate in CHP! Voters evaluated the seat fight to A Haber: They do not represent the will of the nation! | Video

“A PARTY THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE NATION ALWAYS FALLS HALF-WAY”

-A political party that does not belong to the nation will always fall by the wayside. The nation must accept it. A party that has strayed from its line must struggle to return to its former state. I was the child of a CHP family. Now I am a member of the idealist movement. Unless he clears himself in the legal dimension, his name is free or something else does not mean anything. CHP is a party that has strayed from its line and will fall by the wayside. It cannot represent the free will of the nation.

-We hear news of corruption from municipalities. They can’t manage themselves anyway. How will they govern the country? From now on, CHP’s crumbs will remain…

FARMERS REACTED TO THAT SHOW:

‘WE HAD IT THANKS TO THE STATE’

Headman of Baltasarılar Village, Orhan Çağlayan: I left construction work in 2002 and returned to the village. I started with the tractor I inherited from my father. Later, I bought my second tractor with government support. All of the tractors shown in the squares were purchased with government support. It is wrong to use farmers as a tool for politics.

Alemdar Village Headman Cevdet Ortak: I have been producing in his village for 19 years. Moreover, our village is the most barren village in Yozgat with limited land. We have 1,500 acres of arable land. The land plots are small, but we work and earn with the support provided by the state. I have a dairy of a hundred animals. I married my children with the money I earned from farming. Why should we work if we can’t make money? I was a civil servant in the city, I resigned and came, if I wasn’t earning money on my land, why did I come? We bought our agricultural tools with the support of ARDSI. We renewed our tractor with zero interest. While Özgür Özel wanted to do politics, he advertised this job. I invite those who say we are dead and finished to discuss it on live broadcast.

Adem Çağlayan: We are 7 siblings. In the past, we had difficulty in purchasing a tractor. Now, with government support, we have tractors worth millions. The tractors shown at the CHP rally were actually an indicator of the support our state provides to farmers. May God bless our state.

Ali Çelik: People who could not even buy a donkey in the past are now riding luxury tractors with government support. Most of the tractors shown at that rally were purchased with government support. We are happy with our government.

‘EMPLOYERS EARN’

Bekir Ortak: I have been farming since the age of 15 and I am getting paid for my hard work. I currently have 120 cattle. We renew our tractors with government support. I buy an apartment every year. There is no despair, the worker wins.

Musa Pekel: I returned to my village after working as an accountant in Antalya for 20 years. I made my investments thanks to the support provided by the state. What I could not earn in accounting in 20 years, I earned in 4 years in farming in my village. We made a profitable living with agriculture and animal husbandry. My advice to young people is to return to their villages. Because he can buy his flat in the village with a few years of production. The farmer is doing his own thing. Politics has no business in the squares.

Bilal Efe Çağlayan: I am 17 years old. I love farming. We work and produce with modern tractors on the land we inherited from our father. We have computers and all kinds of technological devices in the village. I also advise my friends to protect their lands.

Beytullah Pekel: Thanks to our state, we ride luxury tractors. My call to our youth: Take care of your land, produce.

Yakup Çınar: We used to scatter the seeds by hand. Now we spread it with the machines we bought with government support. They made everything easier for us.
