President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the “AK Party 33rd Consultation and Evaluation Meeting” in Sapanca. In his speech here, President Erdoğan gave important messages to the party organization and the nation: Each page of a book may have a different illumination, calligraphy, miniature or marbling, but each book has a cover, a bookmark that holds the book together and a binding that unifies it. Every book has a preface, introduction and foreword. No matter how different the pages of the book look, in the hands of a master writer, an experienced editor, and a skilled bookbinder, the book is a whole and unique. AK Party is a book about Türkiye. There is a page for everyone here. There is room for everyone’s story here. But this book has a volume, a manuscript, a bookbinder, an author, a common spirit, a common feeling. Our path is one, our direction is one, our goal, our goal and our range are one. We will walk with everyone who wants to walk on that path, in that direction, to that destination. Just as we say ‘Good luck’ to those who part ways, we also say ‘Welcome’ to those who cross our path, embrace them, and act as companions in their journey and struggle. Our hearts have been open to everyone for 25 years.

When we established our party, we clearly drew our principles, boundaries and frameworks. We will not go beyond that line, nor will we allow it to be crossed. We will never allow the AK Party book to be destroyed. AK Party is a cause movement. We are representatives of a mission. We are the bearers of a sacred trust. We are responsible for the campaign, not the victory. The mentality that resorts to every method to achieve victory, that sees every way as permissible, and that does not recognize principles, boundaries, or rules is far from us. We act with principles, stand firmly on the straight path, and hope for victory from God’s will.

We’ve had a 25-year epic, but we haven’t forgotten our cause. We did not lose our direction, we did not deviate from our path, we did not deviate from our range, we did not break our ties with the nation. We are as alive, excited, determined and diligent as the day we were founded.

OUR CASE IS A NATION’S STRUGGLE

This cause is a sacred cause with its roots in the past and its eyes in the past. This case existed before us and will exist after us. This struggle is not a personal struggle. This struggle is the struggle of the nation, the struggle of the country. This struggle is the struggle of the ummah, the struggle of humanity. As long as God gives us life, we will continue this struggle with glory and honor. We have not betrayed our nation’s trust, and we will not. We have not, and will not, dash our nation’s dreams. We have not tarnished our nation’s trust, and we will never do so. We will continue to walk on the path we believe in, without bending or bending.

WE DO POLITICS WITH THE SPIRIT OF YENİKAPI

Politics cannot be done with the understanding of “same people in the same place, different people in different places”. Politics is compromise, talking, negotiation, trying to meet on common ground while preserving differences. We do not have to think exactly the same about every issue. But we have to show this virtue and the will to come together on issues that are in the interest of the country and the nation, to find a common denominator. We do this not for ourselves or our own fortune; We have to do it for the future of the nation, with the awareness of our national duty. Under the umbrella of the People’s Alliance, we are displaying the best example of this with MHP and its valuable leader, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli. As different political parties, we joined forces for the survival of our country and the peace and security of our nation. We met on common points and established the People’s Alliance. We serve our nation together with the spirit of Yenikapı. Of course, we do not think the same as the voters of the CHP or the voters of other parties on every issue. But our political differences should not turn us into enemies, should not alienate us from each other, or drive a wedge between us.

NO ONE IS A STEPCHILD IN THIS COUNTRY

In this country, no one with the identity of the Republic of Türkiye is a guest on the homeland, not a tenant, not a refugee, not an other, not a stepchild; On the contrary, all of them own property in this homeland, are homeowners, are the essential elements of this nation, and are the true children of this nation. Regardless of the geography he lives in; No matter where their grandparents came from; Regardless of his sect, disposition, origin, opinion, thought, he is a citizen of the Republic of Türkiye; Therefore, he is the owner of this country, this homeland, this state as much as anyone else. This state; It is not the state of a group, a mass, a certain group, or a certain origin, but of all 86 million people living on this land; Every individual of the 86 million people, with no exception, owns this state equally.

AN OPPOSITION THAT DRAWS ITS POWER FROM CORRUPTION IS USELESS

Of course, we do not know whether CHP can achieve this or not, but it is extremely clear that Türkiye needs a main opposition party that is free from all kinds of tutelage. All we want is for Türkiye to normalize. An opposition that does not derive its strength from the grassroots, that does not derive its strength from its voters, that derives its strength from some foreign powers that have an account on Turkey, that derives its strength from orphans’ rights obtained through corruption, black money, and illicit money will not bring benefit to Türkiye, but will bring harm. A structure that is not at peace with itself has no contribution to offer to our nation.

BOTH FETO AND ZIONISM WANT TO MEAN 86 MILLION

When FETO made that treacherous coup attempt on July 15, it did not only do this to me, not only to us; They made that treacherous coup attempt against Türkiye, they did it to all 86 million of our citizens. While we are clearing the FETO treason network from this country, it is not for ourselves; We cleaned it for our state, our nation, our future.

The success of our terrorism-free Türkiye process is not for ourselves; We want this for our country and all our children, for Türkiye’s bright future.

The genocidal, occupying, expansionist ideology called Zionism is not only against me, not only our party, not only our alliance; It means everyone. While we fight against Zionism, we are not fighting for ourselves personally; We do this for the total survival of our country and nation.

UGLY ATTACKS: IGNORANT FOSSILS SPEAR GRANTED AGAINST THE HEADCARF
From time to time, some marginal, ignorant, backward-looking fossils appear who spew hatred towards the headscarf and those who wear it. These endangered specimens are supposedly teaching women, humiliating and threatening them, in an extremely patronizing and arrogant manner. Everyone should understand this: Türkiye has left this issue behind. Türkiye has normalized this issue. Türkiye has come to the line of equality and justice on this issue. Türkiye has reached reasonable ground on this issue. Now, those who do not understand this need to understand: The headscarf is not abnormal, it is not marginal, it is not radical, it is not extreme, it is not the symbol of a certain sect, a certain community or ideology. This is the normal of all times.

FOR THE FIGHT IN CHP: THEY PRODUCED FRANKESTEIN AND THEY ARE PENDING THE PUNISHMENT
We are not a party to the fight within the CHP, and we will not be tomorrow either. They set traps for each other, they dug each other’s wells, they complained about each other, and they came to this point not by ours, not by the judiciary, but by their own hands and their own actions. They produced a Frankenstein, and now they are suffering the consequences. But despite this, our desire and hope is this: It will undoubtedly be beneficial for both Turkish politics and Turkey if CHP gets rid of external forces within itself.

TO THOSE WHO DISCRIMINATE: THEY WORK AS SUBCONTRACTORS TO THE ENEMIES
We have never harbored hostility towards anyone just because they think differently than us, but everyone should know that no one can harbor hostility towards us just because we think differently than them. He cannot attempt to wave his fingers, make adjustments, or draw a direction as he did in the past. No one can discriminate against us in our own country, in our own land, or teach us lessons in an arrogant manner. This is neither anyone’s place nor their right. Whoever tries to discriminate among the members of this nation serves the enemies of this nation. Whoever discriminates the women of this country based on their attire is subcontracting to the enemies of Türkiye.

FASCIZANT DISCOURSES: THEY POLARIZED THE NATION EVEN OVER SYRIAN REFUGEES
They said, “You won’t think like that, you won’t dress like that, you won’t read that book, you won’t write like that.” They said, “You won’t speak that language, you won’t listen to that folk song, you won’t go there, you won’t learn it, you won’t teach it.” They divided this nation, divided it, polarized it, and turned political competition into hostility and conflict. They separated the oppressed people with the ugly campaign they carried out on Syrian refugees in the last presidential elections.

SPECIAL SONG FOR THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY
In the hall where Erdoğan made his speech, posters with the slogans “The leader of the century who will mark history”, “A nation’s epic of unity”, “A nation’s epic of democracy”, “A nation’s epic of stability”, “The indivisible will of the nation is 25 years old” were hung. Erdoğan listened to the newly prepared song “Legendary Grand President” on stage. A quarter of a century was emphasized in AK Party’s new song.

PEOPLE’S DEMANDS HAVE BEEN LISTENED
On the second day of the camp, which was carried out with the theme of AK Party’s ‘Quarter Century Epic’, the future goals of the party were discussed. Current policies were analyzed. A Common Mind Session was held with the participation of cabinet members. In this session, a strong evaluation basis was created from the field to the center and the citizens’ demands were conveyed directly to the cabinet members.

ÇELİK: WE ARE IN A NEW PHASE IN TERROROR-FREE Türkiye
AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made a statement within the scope of the “AK Party 33rd Consultation and Evaluation Meeting” in Sakarya:

I stated that we are at a new stage regarding terrorism-free Türkiye. At the new stage we have reached, we invite everyone to support this process with a positive approach and to bring their criticisms to the agenda if they have any. This is extremely valuable. It is an issue that concerns all of Türkiye. A legal basis must be created for the terrorist organization to lay down its arms. We think that this issue should be brought to the Parliament as soon as possible and become law quickly.

There is a management problem in CHP. This situation is something that our citizens who have devoted themselves to CHP do not deserve.
