Erdogan: Those who attack me are actually hostile to Turkey

Speaking at his party’s KIZILCAHAMAM camp, AK Party leader (and President) ERDOGAN said, “Those who attack your brother and the Cumhur Alliance (AKP and MHP) are actually hostile to our great and strong ideal of Turkey and to Turkey itself.”

AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke at the closing of the 30th Consultation and Evaluation Meeting of his party held in KIZILCAHAMAM.

Some excerpts from his speech were as follows:

– I want you to share our work here with our friends and our nation in your provinces. Thus, we can prepare much stronger for 2023 by removing the question marks and resentments in our heads.

– Sometimes we have to harden our style while continuing our struggle (referring to swear words he used, most recently).

– We will not make any of our citizens feel alone. We will maintain this honorable position wherever there are oppressed people out there, from Syria to Iraq, from Libya to Karabakh.

ERDOGAN TARGETES KILICDAROGLU: “HE IS A PUPPET”

– We will continue to fight with the same effort for many more years at the disposal of our nation. Those who attack this brother of yours and the Public Alliance are actually hostile to our great and powerful ideal of Turkey and to Turkey itself. The head of the CHP and those who hide under him are puppets. But we are fighting the real war against their bosses.

– This fight is not new either. The lies they cling to, thinking they are contemporaries, are not a great sycamore, but a rotten shell. Our path is the path of ‘either liberty or death’ as it was yesterday. With the same belief, we will achieve our country’s goals of 2023 and achieve the vision of 2053.

“WE WILL NOT CHANGE OUR POSITION ON NATO EXPANSION UNTIL OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE MET”

– Regarding Sweden and Finland’s application to NATO, “We will not change our position on NATO expansion until our expectations are met.”

REGARDING PRICE INCREASES

– (Fighting inflation) We are examining price increases that cannot be explained by cost increases caused by exchange rates and inflation.
