AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said at the press conference held at his party’s Osmaniye Provincial Directorate that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli will be in the city on February 6.
Stating that great suffering was experienced in the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, centered in Kahramanmaraş, Çelik said, “It was a great disaster that affected 11 of our provinces. These wounds were healed with state-nation solidarity and all-out mobilization, and they continue to be healed.” he said.

Likewise, we will visit our families with losses and injuries.” he said.
Emphasizing that they will continue to keep the memories of those who lost their lives in the disaster alive, Çelik said, “Recently, with the ceremony held in Hatay with the participation of our President and Devlet Bahçeli, the 455 thousandth disaster residence was delivered. This is the result of a great effort worldwide and things that were said to be ‘undoable’ were done. It has become clear that Türkiye will not kneel once again, that the nation is invincible once again, and that no matter what happens to us, we can overcome them with the consciousness of the nation.” he said.
“Türkiye IS ONCE AGAIN SHOWING ITS WILL TO CONTINUE ON THE ROAD”
AK Party Spokesperson Çelik stated that the Russia-Ukraine war continues and Israel continues its genocide in Gaza despite the ceasefire agreement and said:
“Within this agenda, the whole world is holding its breath for the developments regarding Iran in our east. ‘Will a negotiation on this issue yield results or will a new attack unfortunately emerge in any way?’ These agendas are happening very close to us. “Among these, our President’s strong leadership, the will he has demonstrated in world diplomacy processes, and the picture that emerges within this framework, Turkey once again shows its resilience, strength, and will to continue on its path in the face of all these shocks and challenges.”
Drawing attention to the double standards in the world order, Çelik said, “While reminders, referenced principles, and rules to be taken into consideration were abundantly mentioned when the Russia-Ukraine war was in question, the hypocrisy beyond the double standard of forgetting and abandoning these mentioned rules, these referenced principles when the Gaza genocide occurred, began to attract the attention of the whole world. The hypocrisy displayed by the elites and operators of the liberal order regarding Gaza is, in fact, a bankruptcy of the order.” It also became a symbol of what happened.” made his assessment.
Emphasizing that issues related to how security issues will be handled come to the fore, Çelik said:
“So, ‘How will NATO continue from now on? How will the relations between the United States and Europe work in the Atlantic relations? Can a European security mechanism be established or not?’ Then again, at the center of all these discussions is Türkiye and what kind of diplomacy our President will demonstrate in all these processes. “As you can see, when talking about global security, not only the Middle East but also European security, our President’s opinion is needed whenever a table is wanted to be established.”
Çelik stated that Türkiye pursues a principled policy line that represents the will of the Syrian people against the black propaganda of the whole world, and added:
“Our President’s emphasis on one Syria and the need for all Syrians to govern Syria together constitute the backbone of the global consensus today. At this point, the issue of purifying Syria from terrorist elements within itself and the uninterrupted continuation of the fight against DAESH and terrorism against DAESH is underlined, while at the same time, the steps taken to purify the north and east of Syria from terrorist organizations that have occupied the north and east of Syria and to defend the unity of Syria will always be our President’s responsibility.” “It has enabled the emergence of developments that confirm again and again that it has produced a result for the goodness, unity and integrity of Syria, which means confirmation of the vision it has drawn.”
AK Party Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik said, “We have no eyes on anyone’s land, but we will not let anyone threaten our national security.” he said.
In his speech at the AK Party Extended Provincial Advisory Council Meeting held at Osmaniye Culture, Art and Congress Center, Çelik drew attention to the Ukraine-Russia War, the genocide in Gaza and the developments in Iran.
Stating that the developments are happening around Türkiye, Çelik said, “When you look at this entire framework, it can be seen at first glance how important it is for Türkiye’s unity and peace to be preserved and for Türkiye to be governed with such acumen by a strong, experienced leadership.” he said.
Çelik explained that they gave the necessary response to all attempts to establish a terrorist state on the borders.
Emphasizing that they protect Türkiye’s rights and interests on land, air and sea, Çelik said:
“A terrorist organization that threatens Türkiye is being destroyed in Syria, the Chairman of the Republican People’s Party comes out and says ‘Turkey should not be a party to the conflict in Syria, it should be a side of peace’. We are already on the side of peace. We ensure the internal peace of Syria, we protect the unity and solidarity of all our brothers in Syria. While the Syrian government is fighting terrorism there, the Chairman of the CHP keeps the terrorist organization and the legitimate government together and puts them on equal footing. After that, ‘Türkiye is for peace.’ “What kind of mentality is this? He treats the state as a terrorist organization and the terrorist organization as the state.”
“WHEN WOMEN ARE KILLING IN GAZA, THEY FORGET THE LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS”
Çelik pointed out that the world has entered a great turbulence and stated that they will keep unity, solidarity and harmony stronger.
Stating that the known order in the world has come to an end, Çelik said, “When people die or are killed in other parts of the world, which we do not want, those who talk about human rights and law forget the law and human rights while the blood of children in Gaza is being shed and women are being killed in Gaza. Why this hypocrisy and double standards?” he said.
Çelik underlined that preserving Türkiye’s stability, unity and peace are the most important issues and made the following assessment:
“We have no eyes on anyone’s land, but we do not let anyone threaten our national security. The revolutions in the defense industry that we have put forward under the leadership of our President, the efforts of the heroic Turkish Armed Forces, our police, our gendarmerie and all our security forces are the guarantee that our country will continue on its way towards its own horizons without encountering any obstacles.”
“THERE IS NO SUCH PARTY, SUCH AN ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD”
Stating that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s leadership has gained a global character, Çelik said:
“Wherever in the world there is a problem or an issue, who is the first person called when it is asked ‘How can this issue be resolved’? It is our President. When it is asked ‘Where should the table be set for the solution of this issue’, where is the first place that comes to mind? Turkey, our country. That is why it is a message given to the whole world that we show our unity and solidarity in such meetings all over Türkiye, in all provinces with our other brothers. There is no such party, such an organization in the world. There is no such party or such an organization in the world. “There has never been a political movement where dedicated people have come together so powerfully and given the strongest voice. We will continue this. We never get tired, we do not shy away from any obstacles. I have been with our President for more than 30 years. We have never feared or hesitated under his leadership. We have no purpose other than continuing our path.”
Çelik stated that President Erdoğan’s energy and will have never diminished and said, “I say, ‘What is a young person, at what age can you be young?’ Here they say, ’19-30 years old is young.’ It’s a biological thing. A person who is not afraid when he encounters obstacles and who does not hesitate to solve a problem when he encounters it is called young. The one who, when faced with a problem, instead of running away from it, steps on it is called young. “When you look at it from that perspective, the youngest person in the AK Party is Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.” he said.
“THE EARTHQUAKE DESTROYED IT, BUT THE CRAZY TURKS RISE AGAIN”
Referring to the earthquakes on February 6, 2023, centered in Kahramanmaraş, Çelik said the following:
“Perhaps there were a lot of events that would be included in the earthquake literature, but on the one hand, the mobilization put forward by the state, and on the other hand, the sacrifice made by truck and truck drivers and all our citizens to bring aid there day and night, without sleeping, showed once again how fond we are of each other in difficult times. Do you know how the headlines were made outside for this sacrifice and solidarity? ‘The earthquake destroyed, but the crazy Turks stood up again.’ What do we say about him no matter what? There may be difficulties and disasters, but the state cannot be destroyed, the nation cannot be defeated.”
Çelik stated that President Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli will attend the commemoration ceremonies in Osmaniye on February 6 and said:
“We will once again give this message of unity and solidarity from our Osmaniye from our Cebelibereket. Hopefully, Osmaniye will welcome our President and Mr. Devlet Bahçeli in a manner worthy of its glory. We are sure of this. We will embrace each other together. We will once again show the whole world our solidarity in the face of that great disaster and how we have renewed our agreement from now on.”
AK Party Osmaniye Deputies Derya Yanık and Seydi Gülsoy and AK Party Osmaniye Provincial Chairman Mehmet Sadi Binboğa also spoke at the meeting.

Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran announced the final declaration of the 2nd Communication Council
Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran, in his speech at the closing of the 2nd Communication Council held at the Presidency’s Directorate of Communications, stated that they held consultations with broad participation and on a solid basis, in the process where they took the first step with the Communication Council Preparatory Workshop on January 8-9, 2025.
Stating that they completed the Council, which they crowned yesterday with the attendance of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with today’s sessions, Duran said that they meticulously discussed every topic of communication, especially public diplomacy, strategic communication, security, crisis management, media policies and digital transformation.
In his speech, Duran also announced the Final Declaration of the 2nd Communication Council.
Emphasizing that a joint strategic communication working group should be established under the coordination of the Directorate of Communications, and the authority, responsibility and approval processes to be used in crisis periods should be determined in advance, Duran continued his words as follows:
“Fundamental principles such as proactivity, consistency and transparency should be taken as basis in the context of combating hybrid threats and international crises. Data-based content production should be the basis in the strategic communication narrative and artificial intelligence technologies should be used safely and effectively in analysis processes. International students in Türkiye should be accepted as communication ambassadors. A system that will create an international reference in the field of strategic communication should be developed, global academic collaborations and the visibility of Turkish academic publications should be supported. Political communication studies should be carried out based on data, sociological changes and transformations should be taken into account, possible crises should be prevented.” In order to manage effectively, a strategic and proactive approach should be adopted. The opportunities brought by the digitalization process in the field of political communication should be evaluated and measures should be taken against risks and threats.
HARMONY WITH TURKISH FOREIGN POLICY IN PUBLIC DIPLOMACY
Director of Communications Duran stated that for an effective public diplomacy strategy, it is necessary to establish strong collaborations between the public, private sector, local governments and civil society, develop effective narrative strategies and ensure the harmony of activities with Turkish foreign policy.
Pointing out that public diplomacy activities should be designed to be impact-oriented and network-based, Duran said:
“Türkiye’s international broadcasting potential should be developed and strengthened. Soft power elements such as cultural, sports, scientific and humanitarian activities should be handled with a multilingual narrative strategy on a periodic and thematic basis. Mechanisms should be established to systematically measure the impact of public diplomacy activities through artificial intelligence and new media technologies. Branding efforts should be increased by developing strategies to strengthen Turkey’s brand, these studies should be transformed into a country branding strategy document and an action plan should be created.”
JOURNALISM AND FIGHTING DISINFORMATION
Duran stated that the awareness of media members against disinformation should be increased with training programs that benefit from the experience of the Center for Combating Disinformation.
Emphasizing that training programs on the conscious, safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence should be developed and disseminated to include media literacy, digital literacy, verification processes, the fight against disinformation, copyrights and digital ethics, Duran made the following evaluations:
“Verification mechanisms should be strengthened in news and content production processes. Cooperation between universities, public institutions, private sector and relevant stakeholders should be strengthened for the development of local and national artificial intelligence technologies, and the Turkey Media Database should be created. Digital disaster scenarios should be prepared at the national level against digital crises, cyber threats, information pollution and similar digital risks and should be updated regularly. Professional and institutional support mechanisms should be developed to strengthen field journalism. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence applications should be implemented in line with the basic principles of journalism: accuracy, on-site observation, source diversity and public interest. News production should be free from the pressure of clicks and popularity, and qualified journalism should be supported. Legislative arrangements regarding the legal status of freelance media workers should be made. Standards such as audio description, sign language, subtitling and ergonomic web designs should be adopted to increase the access of disabled individuals to media content. Legal regulations, social awareness campaigns and technological solutions should be developed in television broadcasts, away from ratings concerns. “Incentive mechanisms should be developed to increase the number of qualified content that respects ethical values and is compatible with our national identity. Projects that promote Türkiye’s cultural richness, history and identity should be increased, and Turkey should tell its own story with the content it produces.”
“DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE NATIONAL STRATEGY”
Presidential Communications Director Duran stated that professional terminology in the field of public relations and corporate communication should be standardized and the widespread use of common concepts and term sets should be encouraged.
Explaining that public relations should be effectively included in the decision-making processes as one of the strategic management functions of institutions, Burhanettin Duran said:
“While digital transformation and artificial intelligence applications are being disseminated to ensure efficiency in public relations processes, the human-oriented communication approach should be preserved. University-public-private sector collaborations should be institutionalized in order to develop qualified human resources in the field of public relations. Türkiye’s digital transformation process should be carried out within the framework of a holistic national strategy with clearly defined stakeholders and task distribution, in which the public, academia, private sector and civil society assume joint responsibility. Communication law should be harmonized with digital transformation with the cooperation of state institutions, judiciary, academia, media and technology sector. Personality “The ‘right to be forgotten’ should be provided with a clear and applicable legal framework by considering the balance between human rights, freedom of expression and public interest. Digital parenting should be strengthened and children should have access to safe digital experiences appropriate to their age. Safe content policies and digital media literacy for children should be disseminated. Regulatory frameworks based on transparency, accountability and protection of individual rights in the development and use of artificial intelligence and digital platforms should be prepared. A national strategy document for individuals and society in the digital age should be prepared and continuous evaluation and coordination mechanisms should be established.”
CRISIS COMMUNICATION
Duran stated that the central role of the TAMP Communication Group should be strengthened in official information processes during disaster and crisis periods in accordance with the Türkiye Disaster Response Plan (TAMP).
Duran explained that TAMP Communication Group should have a platform where they will be in constant coordination with each other in a structure similar to the Disaster Communication Advisory Board, which includes representatives of relevant institutions, and said:
“The teams that manage the disaster and the teams that manage the disaster communication should be separated from each other. Mechanisms to prevent disinformation that occurs during disaster periods should be established before the crisis; preventive measures should be developed. The disaster broadcasting standard should be updated and it should be ensured that media platforms include only competent and accredited people in crisis periods. Proactive administrative and legal measures should be implemented without compromise against lynching culture, perception operations and manipulation activities that threaten social solidarity during disaster periods. In times of crisis, the pressure to be the first to share in digital and conventional media should be “The standard of institutional confirmation mechanisms in counter-broadcasting should be made a mandatory professional rule. Face-to-face disaster awareness activities should be increased in risky regions where digital access is limited, and alternative communication channels (announcement systems, local radios) for these regions should be planned before the disaster. Disaster Journalism Accreditation and Training Programs should be implemented to ensure that journalists and content producers working in disaster areas protect the traumatic situations and privacy of disaster victims.”
Director of Communications Duran stated that internship programs for communication faculty students, where they can spend their final semesters in the sector, should be expanded and employment opportunities for graduates in the public sector should be improved.
Duran said that the faculty of communication curriculum should be updated according to digitalization and media literacy should be made a basic and compulsory course for all university programs.
CINEMA, SERIES, MOVIE
Duran explained that the development of a cinema policy appropriate to changing technological-sociological conditions and the increase of national cinema platforms should be encouraged for the purpose of research, archiving, restoration and sectoral data sharing, and said:
“Co-productions, film fairs and sectoral collaborations should be supported for the internationalization of the film and cinema industry. Against international content monopolization and cultural hegemony, a comprehensive Communication Strategy Document based on local and national values should be prepared in line with the goal of the Turkey Century. Film, TV series, animation and documentary productions that establish a stronger bond with the audience, have natural and original storytelling, and reflect cultural heritage, family values and social memory should be encouraged. By encouraging the establishment of large TV series and film plateaus in the target provinces, the plateaus will be used in regional tourism.” “Incentives for contributions should be increased. Finally, a map of Türkiye’s current communication field should be prepared and the Communication Council should be organized periodically within the framework of different themes. I hope that the Communication Council Conclusion Declaration, which includes ideas, determinations and proposals on all dimensions of communication, will be beneficial. I would like to express that we will pay attention to each article and strive to implement these articles immediately.”
Duran thanked the academics, communication and media professionals, experts and colleagues who devoted their time and effort to the Council.

During the operation, Üsküdar Mayor Sinem Dedetaş, Deputy Mayor Ceyhun Ünlü, Private Secretary Alihan Koçoğlu, Architect Burçin Çevik, business follower Adem Altıntaş and contractor Bülent Orhan Tozkoparan were detained.
LICENSE PROCESSES WERE MANAGED WITH CRYPTO MAIL AND EXCEL
Kent A.Ş., which has no official authority. It was determined that its employees directed the licensing processes through an encrypted e-mail system and color-coded Excel tables. It was claimed that in projects with high construction volume, the bribe tariff was determined in dollars, some of the money collected was distributed to the personnel, and some was delivered to Akkoyunlu in line with the needs of the Private Secretary. In the first two waves of the investigation, 16 people, including Vice President Filiz Deveci and Nazım Akkoyunlu, were arrested.
COLORFUL PASSWORD OF THE BRIBERY NETWORK
One of the suspects who testified within the scope of the investigation deciphered the color-coded table prepared regarding the bribery negotiations between contractors and municipal officials in the district. According to the coloring table, it was determined that the build files were classified with different colors and each color contained a separate instruction regarding the process to be followed.
Accordingly, it was determined that the structures marked in blue represent the files in which an agreement has been reached with the contractors and the transactions need to be carried out. It was evaluated that the files marked in red indicate structures whose transactions should be stopped because an agreement could not be reached between the parties.
It was determined that the structures marked in green indicate that no meetings have been held with the relevant people yet and therefore the transactions should not be progressed.
In the statement made by the Directorate of Communications, it was stated that significant results were obtained in the studies on terrorist propaganda and disinformation activities in the digital field.
In the statement, it was noted that 3,679 of the access blocked accounts were determined to be linked to FETO and FETO-affiliated structures, and it was emphasized that legal and administrative procedures were completed and access blocking decisions were implemented, with the coordination of the relevant institutions, for 2,965 accounts that were found to be praising terrorism, encouraging terrorism, spreading disinformation, and carrying out psychological operation activities against Turkey.

In the statement, it was stated that in the distribution of access blocked accounts according to platforms in the 7-month period, X took the first place, followed by Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and Spotify.
The statement pointed out that terrorist organizations and organized disinformation networks aim to manipulate public opinion, influence social perception and create information pollution during crisis periods, especially by using platforms with high interaction potential.
“The coordination mechanism is not limited to interfering with illegal content. Trend topic (TT) lists, hashtag campaigns, coordinated sharing networks and bot account movements created on social media platforms are also monitored in real time with advanced digital analysis methods. While artificial agenda studies created for the purpose of psychological operations are detected in a short time, the source and spread model of the campaigns are revealed through digital network analysis. With the technical and legal processes carried out simultaneously by the relevant institutions, coordinated influence operations are prevented from reaching large masses.
Security sources state that digital platforms have now become an arena of struggle that directly concerns not only the field of communication but also national security. It is stated that technical analysis, judicial process and access measures are operated in harmony from a single center with the work carried out by the institutions, thus not only individual accounts but also organized digital networks are detected and neutralized. “Access block data on 6,644 accounts that emerged in the last 7 months reveals that Türkiye has implemented a multi-layered and coordinated fight model in the cyber homeland against terrorist propaganda, disinformation and psychological operations activities.”
Within the scope of the “Criminal Organization of Friends” investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, Istanbul Provincial Police Department teams took action for the fourth wave operation in the morning. 13 suspects were caught and detained in the operation carried out in line with the evidence obtained in the investigation file.
