The ‘Evaluating the Vision of Public Order and Security in the Civil Administration’ meeting organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was held at Erzurum In-Service Training Institute. Speaking at the meeting attended by 150 district governors in 32 provinces, Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi stated that the first topic they would discuss at the meeting was the goal of ‘Terror-free Türkiye’. Terrorism and terrorism; as well as our public order in all its forms related to ethnic, ideological, cyber and organized crime structures; Stating that it is one of the biggest threats targeting social unity, economic stability and the peace of the nation, Çiftçi said that the terrorist organization has been a shadow on Türkiye’s bright future for 40 years.

Stating that the terrorist organization was brought to the point of extinction as a result of the determined struggle carried out by the state at home and abroad, Çiftçi said: “The Terrorism-Free Turkey process, initiated under the leadership of our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is of a historical nature in that this issue has been completely removed from our country’s agenda. The vision of a Terror-free Turkey is a step taken in line with the ideal of a great and strong Turkey, prioritizing the peace and security of our nation, and is the strategic approach of the noble state mind. Every step taken is taken with the state mind of thousands of years. However, the expression is underlined.” “The goal of a Terror-free Turkey does not mean compromising on security. We cannot allow any situation or challenge that would pose a threat to our public order and security. From this point on, our local authorities must work and strive more than ever to strengthen peace and security in line with this policy.”

While the confusion that started after the absolute nullity decision in CHP continued, new statements came from Bahçeli. Speaking at his party’s Grand National Assembly Group Meeting, Bahçeli said, “The CHP must, first of all, purify itself, purify and calm down.”

IT IS PROGRESSING TO A HARMFUL POINT: The holiday, which is a ground of peace, tranquility and brotherhood with its spiritual climate, has turned into a time of deepening polarization for the CHP instead of embracing each other. The developments are moving from a level that does not suit CHP institutionalism to a point that is harmful to our political culture and democracy. Türkiye’s counter-terrorism and social integration goals depend on political stability and social reconciliation as well as security policies.

DANGEROUS DISCOURSES SHOULD BE AVOIDED: Our expectation is to avoid dangerous discourses and actions that will disrupt social peace and increase provocations, such as physical struggle, instead of legal and political struggle. Not to develop a divisive language and style through national memory places and national heroes for political purposes. The issue should not move away from the basis of law, the platform of democracy, political competition and decency.

No one should dare to stir up Türkiye. The events should not take to the streets and lead to demonstrations with calls for physical struggle, attacks on security forces, or disruption of public order. The Supreme Court, which is the authority of objection to the court decision, should give its decision regarding the objection as soon as possible, considering the sensitivity of the issue. Turkish politics and democracy should not be allowed to be damaged.

We wish to integrate these principles with our future vision with a terrorism-free Türkiye. We strive to completely eliminate terrorism from these lands, bring stability to our region and trash the goals of imperialism.

In addition, the inclusion of Turkish flag motifs on both sides of the ring was cited as one of the meaningful details.
