“We will achieve our goal of a terror-free Türkiye and a terror-free region”
Speaking at AK Party’s Parliamentary Group Meeting, President Erdoğan said: “Acting in total solidarity as the People’s Alliance, we will achieve our goal of a terror-free Türkiye and then a terror-free region.”
President and Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the party’s parliamentary group meeting in Ankara.
“OUR SOLDIERS HAVE BECOME THE ASSURANCE OF PEACE, SECURITY AND STABILITY IN ALL THE REGIONS WHERE THEY OPERATE”
Recalling the parliament’s approval of the motion to extend by three years the mandate of Turkish troops in Iraq and Syria, President Erdoğan said: “I would like to thank all the political parties and MPs who voted for this important motion, which not only safeguards Türkiye’s security but also contribute to the security and peace of our neighbors.”
“Let me once more underscore that we do not have any designs over any other country’s lands, sovereignty or resources. We respect the sovereign rights of all the friendly countries, first and foremost our neighbors. Our soldiers have become the assurance of peace, security and stability in all the regions where they operate within the framework of international law. The Turkish Armed Forces will continue to protect peace, solidarity and brotherhood wherever they are present. As it has been throughout history, the Turkish flag, for many more centuries to come, will continue to inspire confidence for its friends in all the geographies it flies in. All our brothers and sisters, be they Turkmens, Arabs, Kurds, Sunnis or Shias, already know this historical fact very well. Let alone raise objections, they are pleased with the deployment of our soldiers to their territories,” President Erdoğan stated.
“WE HAVE REACHED A NEW JUNCTION ON THE PATH TO THE DESTINATION OF A TERROR-FREE TÜRKİYE”
Drawing attention to the firm steps taken on the path to the terror-free Türkiye destination, President Erdoğan said: “Significant developments have taken place in this direction in the last two weeks. Hosting Mrs. Pervin Buldan, the Deputy Parliament Speaker and DEM Party Van Deputy, and Mr. Mithat Sancar, the DEM Party Şanlıurfa Deputy, at the Presidential Complex, we had a very productive meeting. We once again observed and reaffirmed that we share similar concerns about the continuation of the process with utmost diligence. It seems that we have reached a new junction on the path to the destination of a terror-free Türkiye and terror-free region. All must share the burden on this issue, support the process and make their utmost contributions. As the People’s Alliance, we are already doing our part, and will continue to do so.”
Noting that this process, with a little more courage, efforts and self-confidence, will be finalized successfully, President Erdoğan stressed: “Acting in total solidarity as the People’s Alliance, we will achieve our goal of a terror-free Türkiye and then a terror-free region.”
