MHP leader Bahçeli published a message on the 29th anniversary of the death of his party’s Founding Chairman Alparslan Türkeş.

Commemorating the deceased with mercy and respect, Bahçeli stated that Türkeş was a great idea, cause and statesman who institutionalized the idea of ​​Turkish nationalism and brought it to the masses, turned it into a political project and spread it to the four corners of the country and even beyond the borders.

Stating that the idealist breakthrough he opened gathered national excitement and desires in the same consciousness, Bahçeli said:

“Arguing that it is necessary to unite around a national view in order to protect and strengthen the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish nation and to bring them to the level they deserve in the world, Türkeş said that the salvation of the Turkish nation from all its problems is possible with total development. The late Mr. Türkeş is a man of struggle who left deep traces in the Turkish state and political life. He courageously defended his principles and ideals in stormy years, difficult conditions and troubled periods, and did not compromise his stance and intellectual consistency. He was not deceived by any promise of benefit, “He did not turn away from his path, he was not one of those who sold, was not one of those who were afraid, and was not one of those who abandoned.”

– “He devoted his life to his country, nation and ideals”

Bahçeli stated that the late Türkeş devoted his mortal life to his country, nation and ideals, and that he closely witnessed and was involved in the history of Turkish nationalism, which was full of suffering and struggle.

Emphasizing that he gave a different meaning to this struggle with his presence, Bahçeli pointed out that Türkeş is one of the most important figures in the honorable history of the Turkish nationalism cause that extends to the present day.

Emphasizing that Türkeş, inspired by history, set his eyes on the horizon of the future, Bahçeli said, “He said, ‘I embraced the cause I was entrusted with. I walk without looking back, without hesitation, without paying attention to anything.’ With his words, he showed his determination to pass on the sacred trust of the great Turkish nation, which is carried from hand to hand, from generation to generation.” he said.

– “He did not show any weakness in the face of threats and dangers.”

MHP Chairman Bahçeli emphasized that the late Türkeş described Turkish nationalism as the ideal of “loving the Turkish nation and elevating it” and that he spent his life serving this purpose.

“With his consistent life style and uncompromising stance, he did not tarnish the honor of our cause and did not show weakness in the face of threats and dangers.” Using the expression, Bahçeli underlined that the late Türkeş, a person of great struggle, deep heart and ideal, devoted his life to his sacred cause.

Bahçeli said:

“He did not remain silent in the face of injustice, he planned the great Turkey of the future and talked about it tirelessly. Fortunately, the Nationalist Movement Party has become a political school and school that trains ideas, visions and cadres that can respond to every problem of our country. Our ideas and political struggle have found a response in our beloved nation and in the oppressed hearts. The torch lit by the late Mr. Türkeş will not be extinguished, and his timeless call will never be erased. With glory, The Nationalist Movement Party, which has left 57 years behind with honor, is stronger and more developed today than it was yesterday. The knowledge and experiences we have gained since the establishment of our party in 1969 have become the good news of the construction and revival of the Turkish and Turkish Century. The late Türkeş expressed the cause of Turkish nationalism as ‘the cause of creating a future worthy of the great and glorious past of the Turkish nation’, combining ‘Turkish pride and consciousness with Islamic morality and virtue’. It is based on a melting spiritual foundation.

Türkeş determined the basic philosophy of the Nationalist Movement as ‘love for humanity’ and strengthened the basis of our national unity and solidarity by arguing that ‘true nationalism is to love every person who makes up the nation equally, without any discrimination’. Emphasizing that the greatest strength of the Turkish nation is the unity and solidarity it has shown throughout history, our Prophet said, ‘There is mercy in unity, there is torment in separation.’ He repeated his words frequently. According to him, ‘One of the blessed sources of power of the Turkish nation is the ideal of unity, solidarity and internal peace.’ His phrase ‘the ideal of internal peace’ is an age-old antidote against all kinds of strife, division and separation movements in Türkiye. The vision of Türkiye Without Terrorism, which has gained great social acceptance today, is the realization of the ‘ideal of internal peace’. To truly commemorate Türkeş, to remember his memory, is to understand him correctly, to fully protect his ideals and ideas, and to protect his works and legacy with a high consciousness. “The Nationalist Movement Party and the Ülkü Ocakları, the two sacred trusts of the late Mr. Türkeş, are today the assurance of our nation’s future and independence in safe and competent hands.”

Emphasizing that the nationalist idealist movement will continue to walk on its path with the same principles, Bahçeli said, “In line with the vision of our leader, as the Nationalist Movement Party and the People’s Alliance, we strive to achieve our national aspirations and goals with determined steps, and to build Türkiye, a leading country and superpower in the Turkish and Turkish Century.” he said.

Your prayers are important and valuable to us. May God bless you. A nice presentation was made in our Governorship about the work in Kırşehir and the ongoing investments in approximately 1 hour. We will follow up on these in Ankara, and hopefully we will help as much as we can with the power and support we receive from you, together with all our districts.” he said.

Minister Çiftçi pointed out that Türkiye is currently going through a critical period and that there has been a war in the region for 33-34 days.

Stating that there is a war in the north and that they have just put the ongoing process in Syria on track, Çiftçi said, “In addition, a war related to Iran has broken out, but we also know that we have a world leader in front of us.

That’s why we should always pray for our President. Let’s not forget our prayers.” he said.

Minister Çiftçi explained that they had previously visited Australia’s Hobart Island when he was serving in the Turkish Grand National Assembly and said:

“We went to the mosque there for the Friday prayer. On the way out, they invited us to a wedding. We went to the wedding in the hall under the mosque. There, they hung the picture of Abdulhamid II on the wall. We couldn’t understand it either. I asked why. What they said was, ‘Abdülhamit Han, when he was the Ottoman Sultan and the caliph of the Islamic Ummah, sent a representative there. To the end of the world. They did not forget this either. His cherished memory, “They hung his portrait in honor of him. Our President is the same today as Abdulhamit Khan was that day. We need to know the value of such a person. Just think, you know, a magazine listed the four leaders who shaped the world.”

AK Party Kırşehir Deputy Necmettin Erkan, Provincial General Assembly Chairman Bülent Ozan, AK Party Provincial Chairman Seher Ünsal and the provincial protocol attended the program.

Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran, in his statement on his social media account, said, “Our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s recent statements regarding regional and global developments clearly declare that it is a historical responsibility for us to unite around unity, brotherhood and common values. If our country is internationally referred to as ‘Safe Harbor Turkey’, this is the result of our stance that rejects distinctions of race, sect, religion and language and prioritizes the common denominator of humanity. Turkey is a country of hatred.” And instead of the language of conflict, we continue to defend the universal language of peace, justice and mercy. In this context, our country continues to be the key to peace in the midst of chaos and war-mongering. As our President stated, our country stands out with its common-sense and principled policies that read the regional and global developments correctly, as it did yesterday. “Based on our conscientious stance, we will continue to stand by the oppressed wherever there is and to work with all our means for peace and stability,” he said.
