President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made a statement after the Police Academy Graduation Ceremony in Ankara. Addressing the newly graduated police officers, Mayor Erdoğan said, “If your compass is conscience, your aim is safety, and your goal is justice, you will never go astray.” he said.

“WE ARE PROUD OF WITNESSING THE ENTHUSIASM OF 13 THOUSAND 610 STUDENTS FOR GRADUATION”

Stating that they were proud to witness the graduation enthusiasm of 13 thousand 610 students who completed their education in 30 different schools within the Police Academy today, Erdoğan said, “531 brothers from the Police Academy Training Center, 2 thousand 432 from the Police Vocational School and 10 thousand 604 from the Police Vocational Training Center will join the ranks of our Police Department as of today.” he said.

Congratulating the graduates one by one, who will take on duties for the peace and security of Türkiye, and wishing them success in their duties, Erdoğan said, “I especially congratulate our children who graduated from the academy with honors. I also congratulate our 43 guest students who came from 11 countries, including Gambia, Iraq, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Congo, Maldives, Mongolia, Rwanda, Somalia, Tajikistan and Yemen, and studied here. Our Police Academy is one and a half centuries old.” “I hope these brothers, who benefit from their deep-rooted knowledge, will perform their duties in the best way possible in the police departments of their own countries.” he said.

Expressing that he wanted to express one thing in particular for the sons of the country who will receive their diplomas, Erdoğan continued as follows:

“You are undertaking a very important mission and carrying the sacred legacy of our martyrs and veterans. I am sure that each of you will protect the public order within the framework of law and laws, which will bring the compassionate hand of our state to our nation throughout your career. You will ensure the safety and security of our streets, avenues and cities, sometimes at the expense of your lives. From organized crime organizations to drug dealers, from traffic magnates to cyber gangs, from historical artifact smugglers to street vandals, from historical artifact smugglers to street vandals, you will ensure the safety and security of our streets, avenues and cities. You will fight against all kinds of problems in the most effective way. You will be the guarantor that our children can go to school in a safe environment and that their parents can raise their children in peace. Sometimes you will have to sacrifice the time you will spare for yourself and your family in order to ensure full security throughout the country.

You will be sleep deprived and you will work under difficult conditions. Sometimes you will deal with the most criminal people and structures. But no matter what happens, you will never forget this: if your compass is conscience, your goal is safety, and your goal is justice, you will never lose your way. “If you observe compassion, morality, rights and law, you will hold an exceptional place in the hearts of this beloved nation.”

Stating that he has no doubt that each of the graduates will serve the country and the nation properly in the light of these principles, Erdoğan said, “We, as the state, will continue to provide the strongest support to our police and security units. I pray that God bless you and bless you with your path and luck.” he said.

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin made statements regarding the agenda in a TV program he attended. Minister Tekin stated that the central exam questions within the scope of LGS, which was held on June 13 and applied by 1 million 22 thousand 8th grade students, were prepared from the curriculum.

Highlights from Minister Tekin’s statements are as follows:

“We are trying to create an educational environment where children will not need anything additional than the textbooks and MEBI applications we distribute. In other words, it was the source curriculum in LGS as well. Our teachers and students’ parents express their satisfaction with our publications. Our General Directorate of Measurement, Evaluation and Examination Services prepares all materials. Some people say ‘There was a discrepancy between MEBİ and exam questions’, but they should not believe it. These statements are made to direct parents to other places. Our parents, please trust only our teachers and follow them.” let him listen.

NO CHANGE IN THE EXAM SYSTEM

We did not say that the examination system would change after 2 years. On the contrary, we said that we did not have an agenda for change. Currently, 5th and 6th graders, and starting from September, 7th graders will be educated with the Türkiye Century Education Model. At this point, some subjects in the exam may go out of the curriculum or their places may change. Therefore, due to the new curriculum, the old questions and new questions will no longer overlap in the LGS exam to be implemented in 2028. Since we already said that the new curriculum is skill-oriented, the questions will logically change. However, there is no change in the exam system. New questions will only come with the new curriculum. There will be no change in the university exam. We carry out all processes together with ÖSYM and YÖK. There, under the instructions of the President of YÖK, together with ÖSYM, our friends create new questions in accordance with the new curriculum.

A new one has been added to the scandals targeting social sensitivities and national values ​​under the name of humor and art. The so-called “Sabotage” show staged by former TİP Deputy Barış Atay and actor Bülent Emrah Parlak at Munzur University in Tunceli turned into a hate show. In the infamous show; Many national and spiritual values ​​were targeted, from the top of the state to the Gazi Parliament, from sacred values ​​to the national press.

THEY MOCKED THE RABIA SIGN!

The Rabia sign, which symbolizes the principles of “One nation, one state, one homeland, one flag” that President Erdoğan expresses at every opportunity, was also the target of ugly attacks by the duo. Speaking on stage without even blushing, the duo said, “As you can see, 4 is evil, 4 is cruelty, 4 is trouble, 4 is trouble!” He made scandalous statements.

PLACE OF WORSHIP DISTURBANCE IN GAZI ASSEMBLY!

The final straw was when former MP Barış Atay targeted the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and the mosque on the Parliament campus.

Atay, who said, “Türkiye’s funniest institution may be the Turkish Grand National Assembly,” did not hide his discomfort with the place of worship in the Parliament campus. He attempted to mock religious values ​​with the words “The mosque minaret is 50 meters outside, 150 meters in the Parliament”.

Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi attended the Consultation and Evaluation Meeting of Members of Parliament at Gölbaşı Gölbaşı Provincial House. Minister Çiftçi, in his statement about the program on his virtual media account, said, “At the Parliamentary Consultation and Evaluation Meeting held at the Gölbaşı Provincial House with our AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Mr. Abdulhamit Gül and our esteemed MPs, we comprehensively shared the work carried out by our Directorate of Migration Management and AFAD Presidency. There are 3 million 632 thousand 64 foreigners with the right to legal stay in our country. 2 million 264 thousand 983 of them are Syrians under temporary protection.” “Between 2016 and 2026, 1 million 425 thousand people returned to their country voluntarily, safely and with dignity,” he said.

‘WE COMPLETED THE 1329 KILOMETER FIREWALL’

Stating that the fight against irregular migration and immigrant smuggling continues with determination at the borders, cities and seas, Çiftçi said, “To date, we have completed the 1329 kilometer security wall to protect our borders, and we continue our work on the 110 kilometer section. We protect our borders day and night with electro-optical towers, thermal cameras, watchtowers, surveillance vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Our Coast Guard Command also has 323 floating elements and 323 floating elements on our 4,500 kilometer coastline. “It ensures our coastal and border security with 23 aircraft,” he said.

‘175 BILLION LIRA RESOURCES WERE TRANSFERRED TO OUR DISASTER SUFFERED BROTHERS’

Regarding social aid and donation campaigns, Çiftçi said, “Approximately 147 billion 735 million liras of donations were collected in the campaigns organized after the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes, and 137 billion liras of this resource was used. Approximately 175 billion liras of resources were transferred to our disaster-affected brothers and sisters, including rental support payments, support payments, moving aid and aid to family relatives due to death. Our AFAD Presidency is not only in our country but all around the world.” We continue to support the oppressed and the victims. To date, we have delivered humanitarian aid to 84 countries and communities on 5 continents. We have sent a total of 109 thousand 332 tons of humanitarian aid to our Palestinian brothers. We will never leave Gaza and our Palestinian brothers alone, despite the Zionist Israeli administration’s blocking of humanitarian aid. Under the leadership of our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we continue to protect the security of our borders, fight against irregular migration, and heal the wounds of disasters. “If there is an oppressed person, we will continue to extend the hand of mercy of our state there,” he said.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, “We will continue to recruit those who embrace our principles and want to do a good job for their country and nation in a peaceful and respectful atmosphere.” he said.

In his speech at his party’s Extended Provincial Heads Meeting held at the AK Party Conference Hall, Erdoğan prayed to God that the Day of Ashura and the month of Muharram, which both Turkey and the Islamic world understand today, will be auspicious.

Erdoğan expressed his best wishes to the friendly people and government of Venezuela, who were shaken by the two major earthquakes that occurred this morning, and stated that Türkiye was with them in these difficult days.

“IN OUR CONSIDERATION, MEMBERSHIP IS NOT JUST A REGISTRATION PROCESS”

Stating that, as the AK Party, they have a unique organizational power in the world today and that they are one of the largest and most widespread political movements not only in Türkiye but also in the world, with more than 11 million 500 thousand members, Erdoğan continued his words as follows:

“I would like to say this clearly once: In our vision, membership is not just a registration process. In our country, being a member means enlisting in the struggle to serve the nation. It means going through all kinds of sacrifices when necessary. It means taking the risk of all kinds of sacrifices. It means carrying the responsibility of this nation, this ummah in one’s heart. Devoting one’s heart to our ideals means giving life to our cause. The steel core of the AK Party has attached its destiny to our destiny, its people to our people, its heart to our hearts. All of our million and 500 thousand brothers are one. For this reason, we say this at every opportunity: We are not just a political party. We are a movement of people who believe in the same ideals and march towards the same future. I would especially like you to know that in our organizational understanding, the struggle to serve the nation begins. While we strengthen our relations with our members with this understanding, we also keep our bond with our people in their homes and workplaces. “We are the guests of our members from all over Türkiye. We consult with them about our struggle, our dreams for our country, and our goals for the Turkish Century.”

“THE APPROVAL TOWARDS OUR AK PARTY IS INCREASING DOUBLY AT EVERY LEVEL”

President Erdoğan said that they declared 2026 as the “year of neighborhood work” after breaking the record in the number of members.

Stating that they are working hard to reach more people and further strengthen their presence in the neighborhoods, Erdoğan stated that, with the efforts of the entire organization, they have turned 2026 into an opportunity to expand the AK Party family in terms of both the number of members and depth.

“I would like to thank our brothers who served our cause with love and shouldered our struggle in neighborhoods where the opposition did not even know their names, let alone their roads, and I wholeheartedly congratulate our neighborhood leaders.” Erdoğan said:

“Here, I would like to express this with great pleasure: The interest in our AK Party, which is the representative of the politics of work, service and brotherhood, is increasing exponentially at every level. Almost everyone who is looking for peace, looking for brotherhood and solidarity, and who wants to serve their city, district or town, wishes to do politics under this roof as a member of this family. We included a district mayor into our ranks on Monday and a member of parliament yesterday. Today, we will embrace our new mayors. Soon, we will join the AK Party family. ‘Welcome to us, you have brought joy to all our friends who will join us.’ I say. Hopefully, we will be in full solidarity from now on in the journey of serving the nation and the country, and we will not disappoint our people’s trust. “We will continue to recruit people who embrace our principles and want to do a good job for their country and nation in a peaceful and respectful atmosphere.”

“WE BECAME THE SERVANTS OF 86 MILLION”

Erdoğan stated that, in their opinion, politics is not a field of activity that looks down on the nation.

On the contrary, pointing out that society is the essential element, owner and founding subject of politics, Erdoğan emphasized that human beings and respect for people are the basis of political philosophies, whether at the local level or throughout the country.

Pointing out that every individual of the nation is equal and has the same value, Erdoğan said:

“Whether they vote or not, whether they support us or not, they are equally worthy of service and respect, without any discrimination. We have always acted with this understanding, whether in politics or in service. We have always respected whoever we are dealing with. We have never engaged in any behavior that would offend, hurt, or break the heart of our interlocutor. Hazrat Mevlana’s age-old motto ‘Be like the sun in love. Flows in friendship and brotherhood. Be like the night in covering up mistakes, be like the earth in humility, be like the dead in anger, whatever you are, either be as you are or be as you appear. We took their advice as our guide. With this understanding and within the framework of these principles, we became the servants of not only those who voted for us but also 86 million people. It is these qualities that make the AK Party indestructible in the hearts of the nation, despite all the attacks it has been subjected to. It is our primary duty to protect and protect them. “A compassionate, modest and respectful attitude when asking for votes from the voters, but an arrogant, patronizing and hurtful attitude after receiving the authority from the nation is not our attitude.”

Breaking news | Important messages from President Erdoğan at the Provincial Heads Meeting: We will win new hearts with our work and service policy

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, “An approach that breaks the hearts of citizens, treats tradesmen rudely, and pursues show rather than action may be the political style of the opposition, but it is impossible for us to approve of this.” he said.

In his speech at his party’s Extended Provincial Heads Meeting held at the AK Party Conference Hall, Erdoğan said that, with the influence of social media, it has been seen that a disease called “interaction hunting” has spread both in society, in the public sector and in local governments.

Stating that while privacy is ignored in social media, the concept of private space has lost its meaning, being visible, coming to the agenda, being discussed, all kinds of values, including human dignity, have taken precedence over all kinds of sensitivity, Erdoğan said, “The anxiety of being on the agenda and staying on the agenda at all costs turns into a big trap after a while. To be honest, politicians also fall into this trap. Unfortunately, we witness some of our own friends being caught in this reverse current, knowingly or unknowingly.” he said.

Emphasizing that one should be careful against such mistakes, which do not benefit them politically or in terms of communication, but, on the contrary, harm the AK Party, Erdoğan continued as follows:

“An approach that breaks the hearts of the citizens, treats the tradesmen rudely, and pursues show rather than action may perhaps be the political style of the opposition, but it is impossible for us to approve of this. No friend of mine, regardless of his duty, title or position, should not forget that we all came to our seats with the approval and approval of the nation. Our nation has entrusted us with the trust to serve it, produce works and increase its welfare. Places to serve the nation are not places of demonstration, They are responsible authorities. When we appear before our citizens, when we knock on the doors of our tradesmen, we have to act in accordance with our duty and with the weight of the trust we carry when we use public power.

As I always say, the point is to win hearts and conquer hearts. No digital platform or application can replace ruberu communication, face-to-face interaction, and a warm and level-headed conversation. If that were the case, the situation in politics today would be very different. If that were the case, this nation would not have contradicted those know-it-alls who gave us a political life before every election. If it were so, politics and social engineers would have achieved their goals. If the election had been won with the wind of social media, there would be others in power and in the presidency today. Of course, we will not ignore new media tools and the asymmetric opportunities provided by technology. We will share what we do, our services and our actions in the best possible way with our people, especially with new generations, by using these channels. But we won’t be trapped in echo chambers on social media.”

“WE CAME TO SERVE THE NATION, BUT TO BE SERVANTS”

Stating that they will continue to serve the public with dignity, courtesy and a democratic culture since he served as the Mayor of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Erdoğan said that he expects all his companions and companions, from organization managers to MPs, from ministers to mayors, to act with these principles and principles.

Erdoğan said, “We have come to serve the nation, to be servants, not to act like lords.” he said.

Emphasizing that, on the one hand, they work hard to bring cities to life, on the other hand, they stay away from unnecessary polemics with their political rivals, Erdoğan said, “Slandering, vilifying the interlocutor, and trying to profit from the impotence of the interlocutor is not our style of politics. Those who expect us to be a part of the boatmen’s fights will wait in vain.” he said.

Erdoğan said that they are concerned with doing business and completing the work, adding:

“We are seeking to win new hearts with our policy of work and service. Of course, I find it useful to express this clearly here; avoiding tension and polarization does not mean that we will remain indifferent to the violation of the rights and laws of our people. We did not receive permission from the nation only for service. We also received it to defend the dignity, dignity and freedom of our brothers who have been postponed, damaged and pushed here and there in their own homeland for years. During the February 28 period, we received the permission of the coup plotters. We received authority from our nation to ensure that our people who were victimized will not be subjected to the same tyranny again.

We have shown great sensitivity on this issue for 23 years. We neither intervened in someone else’s lifestyle, nor did we allow the arrogant minority that sees itself as the owner of this country to impose its lifestyle. We neither interfered with someone else’s faith, nor did we tolerate the current representatives of the Jacobin mentality interfering with our people’s beliefs. Despite this, although not as much as before, we are witnessing attempts by the very vocal monuments of arrogance to silence, intimidate, discipline and threaten the silent majority. We continue our fight against them on the basis of law and democracy. “I want it to be known that, as the government, we will not allow the revival of the oppressive mentality that sees this country, which still longs for the February 28 period in the Turkey of 2026, as its title deed property.”

“A SMALL, NARROW CLINIC CANNOT DICTATE THE LIFESTYLE OF THIS NATION BY ABUSED OF THE CONCEPT OF SECULARISM”

Stating that their principle is freedom of belief, Erdoğan said, “It is guaranteed by our Constitution. Moreover, the lifestyle of 86 million people is under our guarantee. No one can impose or put pressure on another. A small, narrow group cannot dictate the lifestyle of this nation by exploiting the concept of secularism. I express this clearly here. As in the past, Anatolia was a country where a handful of arrogant people pointed their fingers at society and scolded them and discriminated women according to their attire.” “The days when people were insulted by calling them reactionaries, reactionaries and bigots are now over.” he said.

Stating that those who miss their old privileges and old nobility will not remain idle, those dark times will never return as long as they are in office, Erdoğan said: “We will definitely not tolerate anyone in this country being humiliated, insulted, feeling left out or alienated because of their hair, beard, linen, robe or headscarf. We will continue to grow Türkiye, to grow our Republic, to expand the rights and freedoms for each of our citizens, “We will continue to see all 86 million people as one, together and equal.” he said.

Notes

After his speech, Mayor Erdoğan pinned the badges on the mayors who joined the AK Party.

Nevşehir Mayor Rasim Arı, Ankara Keçiören Mayor Mesut Özarslan and Edirne Keşan Mayor Mehmet Özcan joined the AK Party.

Some Keçiören Municipal Council members also joined the AK Party with Özarslan.

CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’s statement is as follows:

I have never considered it right to use any belief as a material for politics and propaganda at any time in my life. It will not allow the month of Muharram and the day of Ashura, which are the most exceptional times of the Islamic faith, to be subject to political polemics, tensions, fights, propaganda accounts and abuse; At least we will not be a part of this shame and this plague.

In our opinion, social and spiritual values; It is much more valuable than political fortune calculations and daily political gains. The care that must be shown towards these values ​​is above all political calculations and expectations. With this understanding, we came to the conclusion that it would be more correct, more meaningful and more accurate not to physically participate in the Ashura event, even though it is included in our program, due to the atmosphere created in it. Because sometimes the best stance is not to appear in the crowd; Not to be a part of using faith as a material for politics. I share with you my message for the Ashura event as a sign of our unity and love; I greet all our souls, whom I believe will understand us most accurately, with my most heartfelt feelings, and I hope that the climate of unity, brotherhood and truth of the month of Muharram and Ashura will bring goodness to all of us.
