President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the Iftar Program with AK Party Former Members of Parliament, MYK Members and the Group at the AK Party Congress Center. Erdoğan briefly stated the following:

❱ The severity of the earthquakes that drowned our region in blood and tears has increased with the attacks on our neighbor Iran, which started on February 28.

❱ Our geography is slowly being dragged towards disaster in the hands of a massacre network caught up in arrogance syndrome. Even the Israeli people, who spend every night in shelters, now openly state that Netanyahu is the biggest disaster that has happened to them after the Holocaust. No one can predict exactly where the world will drift if the war drags on.

❱ Our stance on the Iran crisis is very clear and clear. Türkiye always stands for peace, not war. As Türkiye, we are making intense efforts to pull the trigger, ensure a ceasefire, and return to the negotiation table.

❱ Today, thank God, we live in a country that shines day by day as the island of stability in its region.

THE FIGHTER IS ALWAYS ON THE FIELD

❱ AK Party is a cause movement. A man of cause cannot be old, retired, or isolated in his own corner. A man of cause is always on the field, with his mind and heart, and with his work, he stands by his companions and fellow fighters.

Türkiye IS RICHER AND DEMOCRACY IS STRONGER THAN EVER

With our JOINT efforts, today Türkiye is a richer, freer, more pluralist country with a stronger democracy than ever before. This is Türkiye’s way. We will hopefully realize our goal of a terrorism-free Turkey, where we will open a white page full of brotherhood, peace and stability for both our country and our region, and our vision of the Turkey Century, where we will leave our mark on the era, together with you and our nation.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the AK Party’s Grand National Assembly Group Meeting. Erdoğan briefly said:

WE WILL LIVE FREE UNTIL THE DESTINATION: Tomorrow (today) is the 103rd anniversary of the adoption of the National Anthem. Our national anthem is not just a poem, it is a document of the nation’s struggle for existence and nonexistence. The National Anthem is the founding document and building block of our last state, not only in terms of the days it was written, but also in terms of its content. It is also our nation’s declaration of independence and the manifesto of our will to freedom. As a nation, we have never been afraid, we are not afraid and we will not be afraid. Just as we have lived freely for a thousand years with our foreheads white and our heads held high in the lands of our homeland watered with the blood of martyrs, hopefully we will live free again until the doomsday.

THE COST OF THE WAR: The war launched against our neighbor Iran, with the provocations of Israel, caused heavy damage both in our geography and on the global economy. While there is the possibility and opportunity to solve the problems at the table; As a result of wrong calculations, wrong evaluations and, of course, the provocations of a bloodthirsty network, our region was once again covered with the smell of blood and gunpowder. The Iranian people, who are under economic embargo and harsh living conditions, are now struggling to survive with the bombardment that continues every day. We are witnessing that oil production facilities, water and energy infrastructure, transportation infrastructure are being hit, and people are being punished. We all already see that if this meaningless, irregular and unlawful war continues, there will be more loss of life and property, and the cost of the global economy will increase even more.

WE ACT CAREFULLY: We are not a needy country that acts with the mentality of ‘May the snake that does not touch me live a thousand years’. Since the beginning of the conflict, we have established contacts with Iran, the United States and the relevant countries in the region. In this context, I made more than 20 phone calls. Of course, we still haven’t lost hope for the guns to fall silent. This war must be stopped before it escalates and completely sets the region on fire. We are acting extremely cautiously to keep Türkiye on course and protect it from the fire that surrounds it.

WE HAVE ONE RELIGION: We have never looked at our brother Iranian people, as well as our entire region, by saying ‘This is Shia, this is Sunni, this is Turk, this is Kurd’, and we never do. For us as a nation, there are only humans, not Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Shiites or Sunnis. Whether it is right next to us or on the other side of the world; We are on the side of anyone who is treated unfairly, victimized, or suffering. I have said it before, and I repeat it with emphasis today; We do not have a religion such as Sunnism or Shiism. We have only one religion, and that is Islam. Especially in this period, we need to hold more tightly to the meaning of the concept of ‘ummah’, which also means the children of a mother.

WE SHOULD NOT BE DICKED: Recently, we are witnessing that sectarianism is being fueled in virtual media and centuries-old debates are being tried to be heated again. I call on both our nation and all our brothers in the region to be careful against these dangerous discussions, which we see as a front of war. It is not a coincidence that controversial issues, whose origins date back 13-14 centuries, are brought to the agenda again today. Whether it is religious, political or historical; Discussions that do not benefit us today, but rather harm our law of brotherhood by inciting hatred and increasing discord, should be avoided. We should definitely not fall into the trap game of the Zionist massacre network.

Türkiye HAS ADDED STRENGTH TO ITS POWER: Türkiye is not just another country. This nation is not an ordinary nation. Those who want to know the character of Türkiye and the Turkish nation should look at Cyprus, look at our War of Independence, look at our Çanakkale Victory. Finally, on July 15, we humiliated and defeated not only the traitors among us, but also those who held their strings, with the power of the nation and the determination of the nation. This nation has the power, perseverance, power and strength to break the hand of the virgin with its steel-like will and courage, just as it did in the past, today and tomorrow. Moreover, today’s Turkey is very different from yesterday. Türkiye has strengthened its internal front. Türkiye has gained strength with the ‘Terror-Free Türkiye’ project. With the breakthroughs in our defense industry, the deterrence of our army has further increased. Türkiye has moved out of its passive position; He played an equation-maker and playmaker role in his region. Those who speak out against Türkiye will have their hands burned, and those who speak ill of Türkiye will have their tongues burned.

OUR REAL VALUE IS THE ADHAN, THE QURAN, THE FLAG…

I advise those who are hostile to the founding codes of our state and the faith values ​​of the nation with the disgraceful declarations they published, to read our National Anthem once again, and to read it over and over again until they understand it. The essential values ​​that steal the essence of the Turkish nation are the call to prayer, the Quran, the martyrdom, the flag, freedom and the cause of the Divine Word that lives in every heart. Should we deny our origins, our lineage, our spiritual roots just because it is not in anyone’s interest? Should we ignore our founding values ​​that make us who we are just because a few endangered card bigots are disturbed?

WE HAVE NO EYES ON ANYONE’S LAND

We are not looking for adventure, we are never looking for tension. We are in favor of peace prevailing in every inch and corner of our region. We are in favor of the Middle East, exhausted and tired of wars, to achieve the permanent peace and stability it longs for as soon as possible. We have no interest in the sovereignty or territory of any country, regardless of who it is. But if anyone covets our lands and threatens our sovereignty, we will not hesitate to call them ‘hodri challenge’.

WE WILL PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM DIGITAL DANGERS

It is unacceptable that children can so easily access content such as violence, obscenity, bullying and abuse. Our goal is not to tear our children away from the digital world, on the contrary, our goal is to enable them to exist as safe, conscious and strong individuals in this world full of dangers. With the legal regulation that aims to protect our children in the digital world, we aim to impose an obligation on social media platforms to implement real and reliable age verification mechanisms.

RETIREMENT BONUS PAYMENTS ARE ON MARCH 14

Stating that he wanted to give good news to retirees, Erdoğan said, “We are depositing our retirees’ holiday bonuses into their accounts before the holiday, as every year. In addition, we are bringing forward this month’s pension payments of our retirees and starting to pay them as of March 14. I wish them good luck.”
