Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran, in his post on his social media account, emphasized that we are in a period where content spreads very quickly and that this speed brings with it a great danger.

“LET’S RAISE THE VOICE OF TRUTH TOGETHER”

Stating that this danger is ‘disinformation’, Duran said:

“Let’s not forget that not every claim we come across is true, not every post is real. Our strongest shield against this danger, especially in the digital world, is our individual awareness and habit of questioning. In our fight for truth, we need to defend our cyber homeland together and say ‘stop’ to disinformation. I invite you to carefully watch and spread this public service announcement that we have prepared to raise awareness against disinformation. Let’s raise the voice of truth together.”

Duran’s post also included a public service announcement prepared to raise awareness against disinformation.

We are in a time where content spreads very quickly. However, this speed also brings with it a great danger: “DISINFORMATION”

Let’s not forget; Not every claim we come across is true, not every post is real.

“BELIEVE IN TRUTH, NOT INTERACTION”

The following statements were included in the public service announcement:

“The content produced behind a screen crosses borders in seconds. A share and a lie that replaces the truth grows, spreads, and suddenly everyone talks about it. But not everything seen is the truth, not everything shared is the truth. Remember, disinformation becomes stronger if you believe it. Stop, think, question. Do not share without checking the source. Because the truth is not in the interaction, but in the truth. Believe in the truth, not in the interaction. Say ‘stop’ to disinformation.”

In the video post made on the social media account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Minister Çiftçi’s message played on the gendarmerie radio was included.

The video also included moments when gendarmerie personnel on duty in various parts of the country listened to Çiftçi’s message over the radio.

Farmer stated the following in his radio message:

“OUR GENDARMERIE IS THE GUARANTEE OF THE PEACE OF OUR NATION”

“DO NOT LET A STONE TOUCH YOUR FOOT”

On this occasion, I commemorate with mercy and gratitude every son of our country who reached the level of martyrdom while performing their sacred duties. I pray for health, well-being and recovery for our veterans. May God grant victory to all our heroic gendarmerie members on duty. May God protect you from all kinds of visible and invisible accidents and troubles and make you successful. Don’t let a stone touch your feet. Good luck and good luck to you. Happy 187th anniversary.”

In the telephone conversation made by AK Party Deputy Chairman and Head of Relations with Turkish States Kürşad Zorlu, President Erdoğan expressed his condolences to Heyfa Ağa, the mother of Kirkuk Governor Ağa.

During the meeting, President Erdoğan said, “My condolences. May God grant patience. May he rest in peace. Greetings to Kirkuk. May God be with you and help you. May God bless you.” he said.

Mother Heyfa Ağa also expressed her gratitude to President Erdoğan and said, “May God bless you. May you live long. You are our father. I kiss your hands. May God bless you, President.” he said.

In addition to Zorlu, AK Party Deputy Chairman for Foreign Relations Zafer Sırakaya, Chairman of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Foreign Affairs Commission and AK Party Ankara Deputy Fuat Oktay and Ankara Deputy Osman Gökçek also attended the ceremony where Ağa’s body was sent to Kirkuk from Esenboğa Airport.

Last weekend, President Erdoğan received Kirkuk Governor Mehmet Seman Ağa at the Dolmabahçe Labor Office, and during the meeting, Governor Ağa expressed his gratitude to President Erdoğan on the occasion of re-electing a Turkmen governor after 102 years.

AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik, in his statement on his virtual media account, said, “For a member of the European Parliament to speak in the tone of a ‘colonial commissioner’ when talking about the Republic of Turkey is a political embarrassment for him and an abuse of the values ​​of the Parliament. The EP needs to seriously address this indifference. It is clear from his speech that this person has no political character and there is nothing to be taken seriously.”

Since this person has the title of ‘member of the European Parliament and shadow rapporteur’, we are obliged to respond due to the care we show about the ‘European Parliament’. It is not anyone’s place to target the Cabinet of the Republic of Türkiye, our Minister of Justice, Mr. Akın Gürlek, or any member of our Cabinet with disrespectful language. The motives behind this disrespect on behalf of the European Parliament should be seriously questioned by this long-established institution. “Respect for the sovereign rights of the Republic of Türkiye cannot be a matter of discussion,” he said.

‘WE WILL NOT ALLOW INJUSTICE TO Türkiye’S SOVEREIGN RIGHTS’

Çelik continued his statement: “The European Parliament was a qualified ‘school of politics and human rights’ in the past. Today, it is losing value due to the ‘guided political lobbying’ activities of some unqualified politicians who speak in the manner of a ‘colonial commissioner’. It has been seen that the reports prepared about Turkey in the past years were based on satisfying some political focuses, instead of reflecting the truth and opening the doors of dialogue. We attach importance to all kinds of dialogue in line with the European Parliament’s respected past and equitable approaches. We do not allow any disrespect to the sovereign rights of the Republic of Turkey. The European Parliament must strongly compensate for its mistakes in failing to stand on the right side of history on basic humanitarian issues, especially Gaza.

The European Parliament has the knowledge to be a strong supporter of the ‘alliance of humanity’, and this knowledge must first be respected by the members of the Parliament. In this context, if the European Parliament wants to use ‘sanctions’ tools correctly and respectfully, it should include European politicians who support the Zionists’ genocidal crimes in Gaza on its agenda. The EP, which has not decided to impose sanctions on politicians who support the Zionist genocide in Europe, has no ground to speak on other issues. Today, there are many agendas on which some members of the European Parliament act under the tutelage of ‘political bigotry’ under various influences. This bigoted political language aimed at Türkiye has no validity. We reject the fact that some members of the European Parliament target Türkiye with ‘political bigotry’. “The best option is for the European Parliament to send these political bigots to the ‘democracy primary school’,” he said.

DIGITAL LEG OF THE OPERATION: FETO’S BLACK PROPAGANDA

This attack, which started with the CHP center, was turned into a huge perception operation in the digital world by FETO’s fugitives and social media networks. FETO members, fugitives and the organization’s social media networks strongly supported the digital leg and “perception management” part of the operation. The organization’s support for this campaign was provided by artificial agenda work carried out through social media accounts managed abroad, YouTube broadcasts, bot accounts, and the dissemination of disinformation content produced. The digital base of the perception operation was made with the YouTube broadcasts of fugitive FETO members. The most well-known FETO members, masked as “journalists” and “analysts” who escaped from Türkiye during the campaign period and broadcast from abroad, published videos covering this issue every day.
Cevheri Güven, a fugitive FETO member and mentioned in many conspiracy investigations, played the role of providing so-called “intelligence/background” for CHP’s political discourses, by producing fictional scenarios based on the Central Bank reserves and Berat Albayrak in the manipulative videos he shot, telling the lie that the money was “improperly transferred to someone”.
Said Sefa, one of the managers of FETO’s Fuat Avni account, asked “Where is the 128 billion dollars?” in his broadcasts on social media and YouTube. He tried to make the opposition voters believe in this perception by exaggerating the question and the fake graphics and claims produced. Fugitive FETO members Adem Yavuz Arslan, Tarık Toros and Erkam Tufan Aytav presented the claims of CHP politicians as “evidence of economic collapse” on their digital platforms and tried to bring these discourses to the western public every day.

Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Numan Kurtulmuş, together with the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Oliy Assembly of Uzbekistan, Nuriddin İsmailov, attended the naming ceremony held in the settlement area completed with the contributions of Uzbekistan in Arsuz district of Hatay. Stating that he was pleased to be at one of the most meaningful ceremonies, Kurtulmuş emphasized that immediately after the disaster of the century on February 6, 2023, brother countries rushed to help Türkiye, and one of them was Uzbekistan. Kurtulmuş said, “I would like to express that the Uzbekistan District in Arsuz is important as it is a permanent work of the permanent friendship between the two countries.”

Stating that the two countries have great historical and cultural ties, Kurtulmuş said: “Uzbekistan is our ancestral homeland. Uzbekistan is one of the countries where our culture is experienced most vividly today.” Noting that relations have reached a new phase due to the close friendships of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Uzbekistan President Şevket Mirziyoyev, Kurtulmuş said, “We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Uzbekistan Neighborhood, especially Mr. Mirziyoyev.” Ismailov also said, “Every house built here will serve as a symbol of love and loyalty between our peoples.”
