Politics in Turkey: CHP leader says “Of course, we will win against the one-man regime”

To mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the CHP, an event was organized at Ankara’s Anıtpark, featuring a concert by the artist Candan Erçetin. Former CHP Chairmen Hikmet Çetin and Altan Öymen, as well as former Social Democratic Populist Party (SHP) Chairman Murat Karayalçın, attended the event.

Here are the key parts of the speech made by Kılıçdaroğlu at the event:

“Every CHP member considers all discussions conducted while adhering to ethical principles as a contribution to our revolutionary struggle that began under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and aims for our country’s permanent democratization. In this context, throughout our century-long history, all the debates we have experienced have served as a haven for our new and powerful beginnings. Each debate has produced results that have made CHP stronger and more robust.

In these troubled times that Turkey is going through CHP is the only address that can dispel hopelessness. Because CHP is the only address that can overcome despair in this challenging period for Turkey. We will succeed; we will certainly win against the one-man regime. We will crown our Republic with democracy.”
