“All of our 86 million people are our brothers and sisters”

 

Speaking at a meeting with the AK Party’s provincial heads, President Erdoğan said: “Our place is with our nation. Whether they vote for us or not, all of our 86 million people are our brothers and sisters, a dear part of our lives.”

President and Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech during a meeting with the party’s provincial heads in Ankara.

Stating that they never have and never will be a cadre that disregards the nation or their problems, President Erdoğan said: “Our place is with our nation. Whether they vote for us or not, all of our 86 million people are our brothers and sisters, a dear part of our lives.”

“We will do what the nation wants. We have always been the companions of the poor, the destitute, the orphans and those in need, not of the elite. We have embraced the poor, the orphans and those in need with sincerity, and endeavored to lift them up. Today, we are doing politics in the same line,” President Erdoğan said.

“We are want to position Türkiye in the strongest way possible in global politics and eco-politics where the cards are being reshuffled. We are striving for a Türkiye that has completely solved the terror problem, consolidated its internal front, and gotten rid of its baggage and problems. We want to wage this struggle with the widest participation possible,” President Erdoğan said.

“It is unacceptable that some immoral people who are devoid of the values of this nation and who do not know decency and good manners disrespect our Prophet. It is a clear provocation, a despicable provocation in the guise of humor. Our police and judiciary immediately took action against this hate crime, the magazine in question was confiscated and the necessary processes were initiated. Those who insult our Prophet and other prophets will be held accountable for this before the law, and we will follow up on this,” President Erdoğan said.

“I especially want our young people to keep their hearts at ease. As long as we are in these offices, we will not allow anyone to insult our sacred values in this country. Everyone should stay away from steps that will put them in a wrong position even though they are right. No young brothers or sisters should let anger cloud their judgement,” President Erdoğan said.
