“As the dark shadow of terror moves away from politics, the democratic space of politics will further expand”

Speaking after an iftar dinner with former members of the parliament, President Erdoğan said: “As the dark shadow of terror moves away from politics, words will grow stronger and the democratic space of politics will further expand. We as the government and the alliance are both sincere and determined to rid Türkiye of its 40-year-old lump.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with former deputies during an iftar dinner held at AK Party Congress Center in Ankara.
“ZIONIST ISRAELI ADMINISTRATION IS CONTINUING ITS POLICY OF MASSACRE AND GENOCIDE IN GAZA”
Making a speech after the dinner, President Erdoğan stated that the Zionist Israeli administration has broken the ceasefire and is continuing its policy of massacre and genocide in Gaza during these sacred days of Ramadan, and said: “Over 500 Palestinians, most of them children and women, have died a martyr’s death in these new attacks this murderous and venomous flock of barbarians have launched. The bombs poured over civilians in Gaza at suhoor time in Ramadan have left many mothers and fathers childless, and many children orphans. I wish Allah’s mercy upon all of them.”
“WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND WITH OUR PALESTINIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS”
Voicing his hope that these holy days may lead to the salvation of all the oppressed resisting oppressions and oppressors all across the world, President Erdoğan noted: “Those, who remain silent to the massacres carried out relentlessly and do not prevent Israel’s war and genocide crimes as well as its crimes against humanity, will sooner or later be held to account before both history and humanity’s conscience. Those, who massacre children by taking courage from the powers whom they rely on, will inshallah drown in the innocents’ blood they have shed. We as Türkiye will inshallah continue to stand with our Palestinian brothers and sisters, stand on the right side of history, and support the oppressed Gazan people with all our strength.”
“WE ARE DETERMINED TO RID TÜRKİYE OF ITS 40-YEAR-OLD LUMP”
Also drawing attention to the goal of terror-free Türkiye, President Erdoğan stressed that they as the country are going through a period that will put an end to this 40-year-old problem, and added: “This development will lead to relief and the strengthening of stability in the entire region, especially in Iraq and Syria, as well as in our country. As the dark shadow of terror moves away from politics, words will grow stronger and the democratic space of politics will further expand. And it will increase the problem-solving capacity of our democracy. I would like to note hereby that we as the government and the alliance are both sincere and determined to rid Türkiye of its 40-year-old lump. We always act with goodwill in every word we say, in every stance we display, and expect the same outright, honest and constructive approach from our interlocutors.”
