President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the AK Party’s group meeting in the Turkish Grand National Assembly:

The circular of the Ministry of National Education with the theme “Ramadan at the Heart of Education” is correct, appropriate and legal. It is a very beneficial service that not only suits the spiritual climate of Ramadan but also translates the feelings of our nation. These activities are carried out on a voluntary basis and have a Constitutional basis. Our Ministry of National Education, in line with the responsibility given to it by the Constitution, has carried out such a beautiful work on a completely voluntary basis in order to strengthen the national and moral values ​​of our students.

Immediately after the Ministry of Education circular was sent, just one day before Ramadan, a group of extremist bigots emerged and published those well-known declarations that sang the stale song ‘Secularism is being lost’, spread poison, and spewed hatred towards the nation from top to bottom. Their problem is not secularism. There has never been secularism. Their concern is with the sacred values, national and spiritual values ​​of these lands. Their problem is with this nation itself. Stop hiding behind the concept of secularism. Whatever your problem is, say it clearly. Stop beating around the bush and get the beans out under your tongue.

QUESTION YOUR BELONGINGS

With all due respect, no individual of this nation would or could be disturbed by the teaching of the national and spiritual values ​​that created this nation. If anyone is disturbed, they should go and question again and again their belonging to this country, flag, land and nation. They won’t be disturbed when the Christmas decorations are put up. They are not disturbed when unspecified shenanigans are staged under the guise of Halloween. They are not disturbed by songs that encourage our children to drink alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and all kinds of perversions. They are not disturbed by our children being exposed to all kinds of disgrace on social media and digital platforms. They are never disturbed by those vile, inhumane scandals that break out every day against children in the West. But whenever our children are told about the national and spiritual values ​​of these lands during Ramadan, they immediately become uncomfortable. We know very well how they oppressed this nation for decades, how they insulted the values ​​of this nation, and how they tried to alienate the children of this nation from their essence. No, why does it bother you that our children will learn to pray and fast? Why does it bother you that our children decorate for Ramadan?

NO ONE CAN STOP A TERRORISM-FREE Türkiye

The National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission report is a very valuable signature to Türkiye’s common future and the brotherhood of 86 million people. As a result of 23 years of tough struggles, Türkiye has seized a historic opportunity to become a regional and global power. No one can prevent the process of a terror-free Türkiye. Now the new phase of this process will begin. Our Parliament will of course play a locomotive role in the new phase.

YOU CANNOT WALK YOUR FINGER AT US WITH IMPORTED IDEOLOGIES

We will rise from where we fell, not by imitating others, but by ourselves, as Türkiye, and together with 86 million people, hand in hand, we will build the Turkish Century with our own values. Those who want to see freedom of belief and a fair approach to different beliefs should look at Türkiye and learn a lesson. No one can point a finger at us with their imported projects, imported ideologies, contaminated minds, and ugly and filthy declarations. No one should try to lecture us on freedom of belief. We are not a nation that will learn these values ​​from outside.

WHY ARE YOU DISTURBED BY HYMNS?

We were very proud to see our children singing along to these hymns together in the school gardens and chanting the majestic phrase ‘Allah’ with enthusiasm. It was a climate we longed for, where all of Türkiye met in the same rhythm. No one should be offended, disturbed or uneasy by this. This photo is the real Türkiye photo. This photo is the photo of this land, the photo of this nation. May God bless everyone who made this photo possible.

In line with the decisions published with the signature of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Hakkari Governor Ali Çelik, Afyonkarahisar Governor Kübra Güran Yiğitbaşı and Mehmet Cangir were appointed as Deputy Ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in accordance with Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Presidential Decree No. 3.

“THE ESSENTIAL THING IS THE PROGRAM YOU WATCH”

Yılmaz stated that they implemented monetary and fiscal policies in a coordinated and disciplined manner, and that they also attach importance to structural transformations and supply-side policies.

Stating that they prioritize 5 headings in supply-side policies, Yılmaz continued as follows:

“The first is food. We have to increase food and food production. We have increased the allocation of irrigation investments and focused them, especially in the fields. We have prioritized the projects that have completed the dam, the main canal has been completed, and have reached the final stage, and we have allocated a much larger resource to irrigation. Hopefully, we will see the effects of this. On the other hand, we have added food for the first time this year to the investment-committed advance loans of our Central Bank, which we call YTAK. We have also added qualified food projects to this program. Gıdada özel sektörün daha büyük ölçekli, daha profesyonel yatırımlarını önümüzdeki dönem artırmak istiyoruz. İkinci arz yönlü önceliğimiz konut. Malum vatandaşımızın en fazla sıkıntı yaşadığı mesele ev fiyatları ve konut kiraları. Burada da tarihimizin en büyük sosyal konut seferberliğini başlatmış durumdayız. 500 bin sosyal konut. Eskisi gibi büyük ölçekli de düşünmüyoruz. 2 oda 1 salon. İsraf ekonomisi değil, tasarruf ekonomisi diyoruz. Enerjiyi iyi kullanan, depremlere dayanıklı, iç tasarımı da iyi yapılmış konutlar inşa We will also support this with our local governments. We would also like to express that it would be very beneficial for the private sector to prioritize more economical housing production in line with our new demographic realities.

“WE WANT TO MAKE DISTANCE ON ENERGY”

Stating that their third priority is energy, Yılmaz said: “Our basic policy is to reduce foreign dependency on energy, especially renewable energy. This is a development that will reduce our current deficit and contribute to our financial stability, and it is important in terms of inflation. It is extremely important that we support domestic energy production at a cheaper rate. In this context, we also prioritize industry. We see industry as a priority, especially in the allocation of renewable energy. We prioritize self-consumption. From nuclear to wind, solar, increasing exploration efforts and increasing resources.” “Last year, we passed a package that we can call a structural reform on this issue. We made a regulatory framework that reduced the bureaucratic processes, which previously took up to 4 years, to approximately 2 years. Thus, we want to make progress on this energy issue much faster.”

“WE PAY IMPORTANCE TO LOGISTICS”

Stating that the fourth heading is logistics and explaining that they prioritize railways, Yılmaz noted that they attach importance to the lines that connect organized industrial zones to ports and markets, called junction lines.

Yılmaz said that in the field of human resources, which is the fifth heading, the harmony between the education system and the needs of the labor market will be increased and that they are working on new business models.

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, ended his visits to the political party groups that supported the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission Report with the AK Party Group. The meeting, which was held closed to the press in AK Party Group Chairman Güler’s office in the Parliament, lasted 30 minutes. AK Party Deputy Chairman Ala and Group Deputy Chairman were also present at the meeting.

THANKS TO PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN

Making a statement to journalists after the meeting, TBMM Speaker Kurtulmuş thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his support to the AK Party Group and his determination to turn the issue into a state policy.

Emphasizing that a great price has been paid due to terrorism, Kurtulmuş said that he hopes that terrorism will be removed from Türkiye’s agenda with the work done.

Stating that productive discussions were held within the framework of the commission’s work, Kurtulmuş stated that people with opposing ideas sat side by side and expressed their opinions.

“THIS MUST BE ENDED NOW”

Kurtulmuş noted the following: “In the session where the Mothers of Hope and the families of our martyrs and veterans sat side by side, the will of ‘We buried our children, from now on we want to bury weapons, not our children’ was actually the wish that came before us as the motto of the listening section of this commission. Almost all of Türkiye agrees that this matter should be ended now, and that no child of Türkiye should fall into the ground, die or be killed again. Here, our esteemed President “This state policy, which started with the initiative and leadership of the parliament, has been transformed into a nation’s policy with the establishment of this commission in our Parliament. In many conflict resolutions, parliaments either step in too late or the monitoring and monitoring functions of other countries, called the ‘third eye’, come into play together with the parliaments. In fact, with the establishment of this commission, with the support of all political parties except one, the Turkish Grand National Assembly, which is the manifestation of the national will, has demonstrated that it is the sole owner, the sole legitimate owner of this issue.” TBMM Speaker Kurtulmuş stated that the commission’s work was carried out within a democratic understanding.

“OUR 86 MILLION WILL NEVER TOLERATE TERROR OR WEAPONS”

Stating that he did not use hurtful or destructive words despite the different opinions of the deputies in the commission, Kurtulmuş stated that the negotiations were held without any discussion. Stating that the deputies in the commission worked devotedly, Kurtulmuş thanked the AK Party Group for their support.

Numan Kurtulmuş continued his words as follows:

“This is a democratic success, it is the demonstration of Türkiye’s determination on this issue. From now on, by bringing the issues raised in the commission to the agenda quickly, in a common way, with a unity of understanding, and by making relevant arrangements, we will build a Türkiye together, where Türkiye no longer talks about this issue, but only eliminates its consequences, where tranquility, peace, well-being, brotherhood and friendship prevail in every corner of Türkiye. We know that there are those who want this to happen, as well as those who want it not to happen. We know that there are some of them.” It was possible to carry out some smear activities and some attempts to destroy this road with provocations, but thank God, this did not happen. All relevant institutions of the state were involved in this process and the process was carried out in great coordination and will continue to be carried out from now on. 86 million of us in Türkiye have no tolerance for terrorism or weapons. We have a strong tradition of democracy that believes in the power of the word. Let the power of the word be the most developed in the world. “It is even more effective than the effect of your gun.”

Emphasizing that the peace and tranquility of Ramadan will be the symbol of the Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood, the unity and solidarity of 86 million people, Kurtulmuş said that the tables set at iftar and sahur will continue to be a sign of permanent friendship.

Kurtulmuş said, “It was a difficult work, it is over, but I would like to say that a more difficult process lies ahead of us from now on. I wholeheartedly believe that if we work with the same determination and coordination, we will get results here and this issue will be left behind.” he said.

THANKS TO THE SPEAKER OF THE GNAT, KURTULMUŞ

AK Party Group Chairman Güler reminded that the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission presented its report.

Emphasizing that the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Kurtulmuş, contributed to presenting a road map during the commission process, Güler said, “4 thousand 200 pages of minutes were kept in the commission. A very serious work was put forward. The biggest share here belongs to our Parliament Speaker, Mr. Numan Kurtulmuş, with his conciliatory and constructive attitude. It is very valuable to solve the 50-year-old trouble of our country, the terrorism issue, to show a constructive attitude and to make efforts. I would like to thank the political party groups, party chairmen, deputy chairmen of the coordinator groups.” made his assessment.

“WE GUARANTEED THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF WOMEN IN WORKING LIFE”

Stating that May 1 has been one of the most controversial issues in this country for years, Erdoğan said that they put an end to all these unnecessary discussions by declaring May 1 as a public holiday as Labor and Solidarity Day.

Reminding that they enacted the Occupational Health and Safety Law to ensure that workers work in safer conditions, Erdoğan stated that they facilitated the establishment conditions of unions and revised and improved the Law on Trade Unions and Collective Labor Agreements.

Stating that they strengthened union guarantees and the right to strike, and gave public servants the right to collective bargaining, Erdoğan said:

“We reinstated the collective bargaining bonus, which the main opposition party brought to the Constitutional Court and had it annulled. By lifting the headscarf ban in the public sector, we guaranteed women’s rights and freedoms in working life. Our public employees can now fully and effectively benefit from rights such as Friday leave and pilgrimage leave. Here, I have to emphasize that we see that these regulations for our people, who have been abused for years, whose rights have been ignored for years, and who have been victimized for decades with arbitrary bans, seriously disturb some circles in our country.

For some reason, the nation’s freedom of religion and conscience, in accordance with the mandatory provisions of our Constitution, and the ability to practice its faith freely in the public sphere, touches these and drives them crazy. I believe that you are also following this with regret. “In a country whose every inch of land has been kneaded with the blood of martyrs, which has been the standard-bearer of I’la-yi Kalimatullah for a thousand years, and where 99 percent are Muslims, they talk about workers, civil servants and university students going to Friday prayers with peace of mind, and children enjoying the joy of Ramadan to their fullest, and they attack with extremely ugly and disgusting expressions, such as the provocation of the reactionary minority.”

“THEY ARE FOLLOWING SECULARISM”

Pointing out that there are those who cowardly hide behind the concept of secularism and shoot at the faith values of the nation, and who have no duty other than acting as hitmen in civilian areas for the junta in the coup attempts against the national will since May 27, Erdoğan said, “We just laugh at the delusions of this mentally and intellectually fossilized group, who cannot digest the change that Türkiye has experienced in 23 years. No matter what they say. Whatever declaration they publish.” We focus on expanding the rights and freedoms of all segments of society. Hopefully, we will act with the same sensitivity from now on.” he said.

Emphasizing that as a President who started his working life as a worker at IETT at a young age, he knows the value of sweat, Erdoğan said, “I am very aware of what kind of struggle it requires to pursue halal sustenance, whether in the private sector or the public sector. Likewise, we are aware of the importance of working, producing, and receiving the reward of your labor as well as contributing to our country’s economy. For this reason, we have never been among those who exploit labor and laborers for their political ambitions, like some in any period of our political life. “We were not among those who gave generous promises to the workers but forgot the promises they made when they took office. We were not like those who were enjoying themselves in tropical islands while protesting in front of the municipality because their own workers did not receive a salary.” he said.

“AS OUR STATE’S OPPORTUNITIES EXPANDED, WE ENSURE THAT 86 MILLION PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM THIS”

Pointing out that they always act with the awareness of carrying a basket of eggs on their backs, the trust and responsibility of 86 million people, Erdoğan concluded his speech with the following words:

“As the opportunities of our state expanded, we ensured that all 86 million workers, retirees and civil servants benefited fairly. We improved the personal rights of our civil servants with the regulations we made in areas such as salary increases, disciplinary amnesty, companion leave and additional payments. We arranged the wage increase rates, raises and compensations of our public servants, and their social supports in a way that would not be subject to inflation. We ensured that our retirees benefited from new rights such as holiday bonuses and bank promotions twice a year. “We have solved all the problems of our citizens, who spent their lives in medicine and hospital queues. We have made the health and social security system functioning smoothly. We have paved the way for temporary workers to work full-year. We have supported and strengthened our employees in every field, and hopefully we will continue to support you from now on.”

“OUR DETERMINED STRUGGLE HAS CONTINUED FOR 40 YEARS”

Emphasizing that Türkiye has been waging a determined fight against terrorism in the last 40 years, Çiftçi continued as follows:

“Thanks to the sacrifice of our security forces and the foresight of our beloved nation, we are at a very different point today. The greatest heroes of this success are our martyrs and veterans who sacrificed their lives for this country. We owe gratitude and gratitude to all of them. Today, a new phase has been reached with the ‘Terror-Free Turkey’ process. This process, which started under the determined leadership of our esteemed President and with the strong support of the Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party, Mr. Devlet Bahçeli, is the success of our beloved nation. “As the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we will show utmost sensitivity for the vision of ‘Terror-free Turkey’ and ‘Terror-free region’, which was initiated by the People’s Alliance and carried out as a state project. I would like to express my gratitude once again to our esteemed President and Mr. Devlet Bahçeli for demonstrating this will.”

Thanking the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, and the National Solidarity, Fraternity and Democracy Commission for their contributions to the process, Çiftçi said, “Hopefully, in the coming period, no one will be able to stop our determined march towards the goals of the Turkey Century vision. The will that determines the direction of this nation will again be its own will.” he said.

Çiftçi pointed out that, as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fight against crime and criminals will continue without complacency, by developing strategies that will eliminate crime at its source, and said, “We will further strengthen the environment of peace and trust. Our motto is clear: Peace together, trust together. We will be with our citizens in every inch of land, in every province, in every district of Türkiye. We will make the compassion and power of the state feel at the same time.” he said.

Çorum Governor Ali Çalgan, AK Party Çorum Deputy Yusuf Ahlatcı and Çorum Mayor Halil İbrahim Aşgın also wished Minister Çiftçi success in his new position.
