I greet you all with love and respect.

In his message shared on his social media account with the phrase “Happy Eid”, Kurtulmuş noted the following:

“While we are experiencing the joy of reaching the Eid al-Fitr, we are also remembering our responsibilities again. We are obliged to draw a more fair, faithful and determined will from this blessed climate that disciplines our souls for a month and accustoms us to giving and sharing. In this direction, we see the commission process and its aftermath, proceeding with national feelings, as a serious area of responsibility for our future. Our country is growing brotherhood within the country, deepening democracy and making politics more at the service of the idea of a common homeland.” It is in a period when it presents itself strongly.

In the international system, we are faced with a grave situation that wounds the conscience of humanity. The genocide that took place in Gaza showed the great decay of international institutions. In such a period, we are obliged to both strengthen our internal front and maintain our principled stance on the side of the oppressed. Our desire to live together with friendly and brotherly peoples in our region is our strongest strength. “We will continue our pioneering efforts to ensure that the Iran-centered war does not turn the region and the whole world into a wider conflict zone.”

Parliament Speaker Kurtulmuş pointed out that this holiday should be a means of strengthening the common future and moving forward in the consciousness of national solidarity, and said, “I hope that the Eid al-Fitr will bring goodness to our nation, our heartland and all humanity, and I congratulate the holiday of our beloved nation and the Islamic world with my most heartfelt feelings.” he said.

“INCREASING TENSIONS IN OUR REGION REMINDER ONCE AGAIN HOW VITAL PEACE AND JUSTICE ARE”

Duran said, “While our brothers in Gaza and Palestine are trying to celebrate their holidays under harsh conditions, the conflicts between the USA, Israel and Iran and the increasing tensions in our region remind us once again how vital peace and justice are.” made his assessment.

Pointing out that Türkiye, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, continues to take determined steps to establish regional stability and ensure the peace and security of the nation in this difficult process, Duran emphasized that the work carried out in line with the “Terror-Free Turkey” goal continues with the same sensitivity and meticulousness.

This is an unsustainable situation. It is a great conflict that is about to throw the whole region and the whole world into the fire pit. We wish this to end with all our heart and, as Turkey, we strive to establish peace.” he said.

Kurtulmuş noted that one of his biggest sorrows on the Eid morning was the closure of the Masjid al-Aqsa for Eid prayers, and continued as follows:

“This is the ultimate point of oppression. This is an unacceptable situation. This is no longer tolerable for the Islamic world. This shame is probably enough as the biggest shame for us Muslims, who have a large population of 2 billion. Our hearts are truly crying. The fact that Muslims were turned away from the gates of the Masjid al-Aqsa on such a day of peace and well-being, on a day of Eid, is the culmination of oppression. “We strongly condemn the oppression. We invite the whole world to put an end to this insult and injustice against the members of a religion and the Muslim world, which has a large population. We hope that this Eid will be the last Eid that Al-Aqsa Mosque spends in an oppressed state.”

Kurtulmuş said, “From Hagia Sophia, from the shadow of this Topkapı Palace, which is the heart of Istanbul, the heart of the Ottoman World State, we convey our Eid congratulations to our Palestinian brothers who are oppressed in Jerusalem, Gaza, and everywhere in the West Bank, and we express our love and feelings of solidarity with them on behalf of the 86 million citizens of the Republic of Turkey.” he said.

Kurtulmuş, who prayed that God would grant him many holidays in health and well-being, asked God to bring the nation to stronger and more peaceful days in peace and prosperity, brotherhood and unity.
