In his message published on his social media account on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of July 15, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said, “On July 15, we pay our respects to our nation, which rewrote the history of world democracy with a great example of heroism. We remember our martyrs with mercy, we will never forget them.”

Ömer Çelik used the following expressions in his message:

We repeat on the anniversary of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day:

Sovereignty belongs to the nation unconditionally!

Our country on that day of July 15; He was attacked by a vile enemy who betrayed his nation, honor and uniform.

On that day, our beloved nation, our President, Mr. Under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, by eliminating the terrorist invasion attempt; He defended the Republic, democracy and national will. Coup killers attacked our democracy and the trust of the nation. The fight against this vile and dark mentality that challenges our democracy continues uninterrupted. The fight against the FETO terrorist organization is a national mobilization, a national duty.

Our beloved nation, which protects the national will with all its existence, has put forward a struggle that will go down in the history of world democracy. Our dear nation, under the leadership of our President, did not surrender Türkiye to this treason network.

This treason network, which fired bullets at the soldiers and police, opened fire on the public, and threw bombs into the parliament, ran into the strong will of our nation and was defeated.

Our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s words, “We will protect the national will until our last breath,” are a guide for this struggle.

We once again condemn the treacherous coup attempt that targeted our democracy and national will. On July 15; We pay our respects to our nation, which rewrote the history of world democracy with a great example of heroism.

We remember our martyrs with mercy and will never forget them. We express our gratitude to our heroic veterans.

We repeat on the anniversary of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day:
Sovereignty belongs to the nation unconditionally!

Our country on that day of July 15; He was attacked by a vile enemy who betrayed his nation, honor and uniform.

On that day, our beloved nation, our President Mr.

FETO’s July 15 coup attempt remains cursed in the eyes of the country and nation, even after 10 years. The main reason for the reaction FETO receives is their secret structure, which they have grown secretly and ambitiously for nearly 40 years. The leader of the organization described the secret structure of the organization, which can be called its soul, with words such as “1 soldier is equivalent to 10 colleges”. One of the greatest harms caused by FETO to the Turkish nation; He raised generations who entered their lives insidiously, deceived them into becoming militants, separated them from their families and relatives, and alienated them from their nation and the land of their birth. He dynamited society by turning some into soldiers, some into police, some into judges/prosecutors, and some into spies disguised as teachers.

THEY PLANNED CHAOS STEP BY STEP

The organization reached July 15 by treacherously mobilizing the judiciary, law enforcement forces and all its resources in the public sector, with the operations it designed step by step against the country and the State in line with the goals of the foreign powers it subcontracted. When the administrative investigations and dismissals that started against the Parallel State Structure extended to the Turkish Armed Forces, to which the organization attaches as much importance as its jugular vein, the militant staff of the organization did not hesitate to bomb its own Parliament, its own people and its own buildings. The organization, which was aware of the decisions to combat and liquidate FETO expected to be taken at the 2016 Supreme Military Council, showed its true face to the whole world on the evening of July 15.

FETO’S EDITOR: SPY ALTAYLI

FETO re-enacted its deep-seated habits of slander and “attributing one’s own actions to others” in the treacherous coup attempt. The organization’s “Controlled Coup” slander and vileness was put into action as “Plan B” in case the coup failed. The mastermind of the plan was Enver Altaylı, who had been a tool of foreign intelligence services for many years. It is known that Enver Altaylı, who maintains contact with dozens of fugitive FETO ex-soldiers abroad and creates a network among them, has a long-standing “friendship” with Mustafa Özcan, the most senior and influential manager of FETO.

HE MENTORED THE ORGANIZATION BEFORE PUBLISHING THE DEFAMATION REPORT

According to the records in the investigation file, Enver Altaylı prepared the slander report titled “A Search For Truth”, which was prepared by FETO soldiers regarding July 15 and formed the basis of the “controlled coup lie”, on his own computer in April 2017, before publishing it, and he guided and mentored the organization on this issue. A month later, on May 16, 2017, in this report published by the FETO/PDY-controlled media organization called Stockholm Center For Freedom, the lie of FETO members that “the coup attempt was a scenario” was extensively covered. The use of the organization, which is the joint product of FETO and Enver Altaylı, as political material by believing in the “Controlled Coup” lie of Plan B, will be condemned in history and in the conscience of our beloved nation as one of the most unfortunate examples of falling into the trap set by the organization. Enver Altaylı became the mentor of FETO’s chorus of “support for ISIS” scenario, including the Gezi events, the stopping of MİT trucks, and the subsequent chorus of “support for ISIS” since the 17-25 December judicial coup. After the coup attempt failed, at the end of June 2017, the propaganda text titled “Erdogan and the Transformation of Türkiye”, prepared by FETO ex-soldiers, was sent to senior administrators in Germany and Israel by Israeli Professor Dr. It was again Altai who ensured that he was sent to Amatzia Baram.

WHEN THE PEOPLE REPELLED THE COUPISTS, THE “CHAOS PLAN” WAS PUT INTO ACTION

The people who took to the streets upon the call of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan did not allow the coup. Considering the possibility of failure, FETO turned its operations against Turkey for years, portraying it as “Radical Islam, ISIS supporter”, into disinformation operations after July 15. Fictitious reports prepared by the fugitive coup militants of the organization were spread to many influential people and organizations in different countries, again after the approval of Enver Altaylı.

THE NOTE DATED FEBRUARY 18, 2016 REVEALED THE TREASON

The bloody chaos plan that emerged from the computer of Enver Altaylı, whose evidence was revealed in the trial where he was tried to shuttle between FETO executives and shadowy foreign forces in order to overthrow the legitimate Turkish Government, created a shocking impact. The plan of “shedding the blood of our nation by making brother kill brother” is included in detail in the chaos plan, similar to which was obtained by some coup plotter soldiers. In the document, Enver Altaylı also mentored FETO’s chaos plan by emphasizing that “it is necessary to bring all opposition groups to the streets, to create an economic crisis to achieve this, they need an international pressure environment that will stop the flow of money from the Gulf countries to Türkiye, and the power can change by gradually preparing the environment for internal conflict in the country.” Simultaneously with this planning, it is also known that FETO’s secret structures are planning rebellion and chaos in prisons in Türkiye. In addition, the phrases in the note dated February 18, 2016, prepared by Enver Altaylı on his computer before July 15, clearly show that he supports “uprising against the state and state administration.”

“WE DROPPED TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT AS THE WHOLE HOSPITAL”

Nurse Zahide Kaya, who worked in the emergency room of Üsküdar State Hospital during the coup attempt, also stated that many injured people were brought to the hospital that night.

Stating that they could not have long conversations with the patients due to the intensity and that their priority was to intervene in the injured as quickly as possible, Kaya said, “We had many patients. We served in the emergency room until the morning. It was a really painful night for all of us.” he said.

Kaya said, “As healthcare professionals, we were also in the field that night. We had a very busy night as the entire healthcare community. It was a difficult process for our country. Not only healthcare professionals, but also the whole country. The easiest way to get through this process is to support each other, to do our best. We showed this by working as hard as we could in the field until the morning. Each of the healthcare professionals is a hero in its own right.” he said.

Kaya emphasized that healthcare workers also think about the situation of their families, but they do not refrain from doing their duties.

Stating that there were martyrs among the injured people they intervened in, Kaya said that the injured people said that they were fighting for the homeland.

Kaya said, “You say get well soon, but you ask, ‘Where were you injured?’ you say. ‘I came from the Bosphorus Bridge’ he says, ‘The engine left me’ he says. “They say, ‘I went to fight and fight for my country, I sacrificed my life for my country.'” he said.

Emphasizing that all staff in the hospital are mobilized, Kaya said:

“We went down to the emergency room as a whole hospital. All wards, everyone did their best. Operating room, wards, other branches… Even those who came from home came until the morning, and those who were not on duty tried to heal the problems of all the patients. On the one hand, fear, on the other hand, to be able to cure their problems. On the other hand, there are many question marks in your mind so that our country will not be divided, but what are you doing? We performed our duty in the best and most proper way, we tried to do it. We will never let July 15 happen again for our country.” “I don’t want this. May God not divide our country and let it happen again. I always ask for this in my prayers. Even though 10 years have passed, I experience this incident again. Of course, it is a difficult process for our country.”

Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan gave a statement to the press at the train station in Przemysl, Poland, before his visit to Ukraine.

Reminding that the July 15 coup attempt has passed its 10th anniversary, Fidan said, “On and after July 15, our state and nation entered a new struggle for liberation. It was a period when we dealt an intense blow to the terrorist networks inside and outside, especially FETO. We witnessed that the state, which was eliminated from FETO, quickly returned to its original codes and did the service it was supposed to do in the service of its nation.” made his assessment.

Fidan emphasized that the determined demonstration of the unshakable will of the Turkish nation under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan played a major role in clearing FETO from the system and said, “Hopefully, the measures we will take and the regulations we will make will ensure that such structures do not take part in the system again, neither today nor in the future. All our efforts are in this direction.” he said.

Fidan noted that they carry out all kinds of work day and night to prevent FETO from continuing its illegitimate, spying and destructive activities against Türkiye in the countries it visits, and said:

“FETO is a structure that has outlived its usefulness. Despite this, it continues its struggle against the state. It carries out its struggle against the leaders elected by the people who rule the state. While doing this, it also cooperates with international dirty power centers. Of course, this is a disgrace. This organization currently has a mass of people held hostage by its leaders. They are living a life of exile abroad. They can wake up again, get out of the illusion, feel the real true love of the homeland, the true religious thought and life again. “They need to return to their homeland and nation and rebel against the organization. As long as this base that does not rebel against the organization exists, the organization will continue to serve foreign services by using their existence. But I hope that our country, our nation and our state will be successful in all similar efforts from now on, just as they were successful in the fight against FETO with their historical strategic culture, understanding and depth.”

FIDAN’S VISIT TO KYIV

Fidan said that they would arrive in Kiev with a 10-hour train journey, and that they traveled to and from Kiev by train because the airspace was closed.

Stating that they visited Moscow last month and conveyed President Erdoğan’s messages, Fidan stated that they received Russia’s perspective on the war from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Fidan reminded that US President Donald Trump visited Türkiye and the NATO Summit was held in Ankara.

Stating that he attended the Volunteer Coalition Leaders Summit on Ukraine held in Paris, the capital of France, on behalf of President Erdoğan, Fidan stated that the Ukraine issue is at the center and there is a constant exchange of views on this issue.

Fidan stated that how to stop the war is one of the most important issues and said that there are two different approaches to this issue in Europe.

Stating that Türkiye focuses on stopping the war, Fidan said, “How to support war efforts and how to stop the war? There are two separate tracks. Türkiye is more in the track of how to stop the war.” he said.

Stating that they will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and his counterpart during their visit to Kiev, Fidan stated that they will also convey the messages of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and said:

“We hosted the Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul last year. Before that, there were various facilitating activities and bringing them together. There was the Grain Agreement, which made it possible for the safety of navigation in the Black Sea to be at that time. It has built on all of these. I believe that my visit will make a positive contribution to those ongoing efforts.”

In his speech at the July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day Commemoration Ceremony held at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Ceremony Hall, President Erdoğan said that he was fortunate to be under the roof of the Gazi Parliament in the 10th anniversary of the July 15 epic.

Last Minute | President Erdoğan: Those who lost their enthusiasm for July 15 are still waiting for an opportunity

Erdoğan said, “As politicians who carry the sacred trust of the nation, we are united today, as we were 10 years ago, with one heart and one wrist,” and added that he commemorated with mercy and gratitude the 253 heroes who drank the sherbet of martyrdom while defending the homeland, the flag, the call to prayer and the national will on the 10th anniversary of the treacherous coup attempt of July 15, and the veterans who shielded their chests from the deadly weapons of the coup plotters. He asked God Almighty for health, bon appetite and a happy life.

Erdoğan thanked all the citizens who blessed the souls of the heroic martyrs with hatm-i sheriffs, prayers and recitation of the Holy Quran on this important anniversary, where they proudly saluted the July 15 epic, and said, “May God rest all the martyrs in peace. Again, the greetings recited here throughout that dark night, protecting their independence and future, are like a spiritual armor.” “I would like to express my gratitude to every citizen and brother of mine who put up a glorious resistance and declared to the world that they will not bow to captivity or consent to oppression.” he said.

“THE GAZI ASSEMBLY DID NOT GIVE A PASSAGE TO THE TONGERS OF IMPERIALISM IN THE JULY 15 TREATY”

Emphasizing that they will always remember with gratitude the brave men who did not bow down even if they gave their heads for the sake of the independence of the nation, the survival of the state and the future of democracy, and will always remember their epic struggle with pride, Erdoğan said:

“With the same heartfelt feelings, as representatives of the nation, I congratulate each and every one of you for not letting down the trust of the nation in the face of the attacks of the coup plotters, and I express my gratitude on behalf of my country and my nation. It is a fact that just as our nation fought in the squares, streets and bridges that night to defend its will, the representatives of the nation bravely resisted the coup, right here under the roof of the parliament, despite the bombs falling on them. Our deputies from different political parties are worthy of the glory of the Gazi Parliament By displaying unity, they stood up against the terrorists who assassinated democracy and the will of the nation.

The Gazi Parliament, which resisted and defeated the invaders a century ago, did not allow the pawns of imperialism this time in the July 15 treason. We are proud of our Gazi Assembly and its patriotic members, who once again defended the motto ‘Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation’ and repelled the enemies of the national will. I wholeheartedly believe that the honorable members of our parliament will act in full solidarity against threats to national will and national sovereignty with the same perseverance and determination from now on.”

“Even though 10 years have passed, we see that those who lost their enthusiasm on the night of July 15 are still waiting for an opportunity to achieve their insidious goals.” Using the statement, Erdoğan said that those who subcontracted the July 15 treason used every opportunity they had to become hostile to this nation and country.

Erdoğan continued his words as follows:

“They plan to create new cauldrons of mischief through the media and social media by smearing Türkiye and lobbying against Turkey in countries where they are dispersed like wild babies and enjoying illicit money. By dressing in all kinds of disguises, telling all kinds of lies, and hanging on to everyone who has an account with the Turkish nation, they are doing their best to get revenge for the insult they inflicted on the nation on July 15. They are doing their best to create perception with the content they circulate in a coordinated manner, especially on digital platforms.” FETO terrorists, who sold their personalities along with their souls for 1 dollar, continue to serve the sworn enemies of Turkey. The death of the terrorist leader in Pennsylvania, 10 thousand kilometers away, worthy of his betrayal to this nation, and his burial in a secret pit, of course, has broken the motivation of the organization and led to discussions within the organization. Questioning, especially among the supporters of the organization, has increased recently, but the threat from FETO has been quarantined, and with all this, the danger still continues. It does.

Such an insidious struggle, which drinks lies like water and constantly changes color like a chameleon, does not cause complacency and does not remove complacency in any way. I have to underline this once again; we should never forget that we are faced with a mentality that uses the opportunities of democracy to infiltrate institutions and gain power, and when it gets the opportunity, it points a gun at its own people. Because if we forget, God forbid, we will experience old problems again. If we forget, we will not fulfill our duty to our martyrs. If we forget, we will not properly protect the trust of 86 million people. That’s why we will not forget, we will be careful, we will be alert, we will be vigilant, we will not let our guard down for a moment in the fight against the organization.”

“THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE Türkiye CENTURY, WHICH FETO IS TRYING TO PREVENT, HAS STARTED”

“I find it useful to remind you of this fact here: showing mercy to the oppressor means oppressing the oppressed. I hope we will not fall into such heedlessness today or tomorrow,” said Erdoğan, adding the following:

“July 15 is an updated imperialist project that aims to resurrect Sevres and turn Türkiye into a colonial country, carried out by internal tutelage centers in cooperation with external groups. There is not only a coup attempt, but also an all-out invasion attempt. As a result of our dear nation’s shielding of its chest, this dirty plan was foiled and the imperialist project was crumpled up and thrown into the trash. Turkey claimed its independence once again. With the repelling of the coup, Turkey consumed its energy from within.” “It has left behind a critical threshold in terms of getting rid of its burdens. The climate of solidarity, which started with democracy watches and moved to a higher level with the People’s Alliance, which became flesh and bones with the Yenikapı spirit, has strengthened our country on all fronts, especially the fight against terrorism.”

Stating that they accelerated the liquidation process of FETO from state and social life with the multi-layered measures they took after July 15, Erdoğan said:

“We carried out effective cross-border operations against the formations that directly target the territorial integrity of Syria and the security of our country. We dealt heavy blows to the ISIS murderers with the Euphrates Shield Operation, and to the elements of the separatist organization with the Olive Branch, Peace Spring and Spring Shield operations. I say very clearly, the stones of the road to the Syrian revolution are the foiling of July 15 and the elimination of FETO from our security units.” We were there with all our means, not only in Syria, but also wherever Türkiye’s support was needed, from Libya to Karabakh. While taking these steps abroad, we healed the wounds caused by betrayal in state and social life. We also implemented reforms that will prove the superiority of the national will, pave the way for our democracy and guarantee stability in government.

Türkiye’s biggest achievement in this process was the Presidential Government System, which eliminated dualism in government. With the Presidential Government System, the problem of stability in government, which has paved the way for anti-democratic interventions for decades, has been permanently resolved. The liquidation of FETO lies behind all the successes Türkiye has achieved in the last 10 years, from the defense industry to the economy, from security to foreign policy. As the liquidation accelerates, as the organization dissolves and the ties that hold the espionage network together weaken, hopefully Türkiye’s march will accelerate. My brothers, no one should doubt that the construction of the Türkiye Century, which FETO members are trying to prevent, has begun. With God’s permission, no dark force will be able to prevent this. As the late Master said, ‘Tomorrow is certainly ours, of course it is ours. The sun has risen, the sun has set, eternity is ours.’ First of all, the future is also ours. The future belongs to Türkiye and the Turkish nation. May God open our path and our fortune.”

Wishing that July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day will be beneficial for Türkiye, the nation and democracy, Erdoğan wished God’s mercy to the martyrs, his condolences to the relatives of the martyrs, and health and well-being to the veterans.
