The Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, stated regarding the establishment of the Terror-Free Turkey Commission in the Parliament, "We will start this work as soon as possible, at the beginning of August. It will be brief. It is not an issue that will occupy Turkey's agenda with long discussions."

Attending the 68th Anniversary and Ceramic Festival of Kale Seramik held in the Çan district, Kurtulmuş stated in his speech that one of the most important elements for Turkey to be strong is to ensure internal unity and solidarity.

"TOGETHER WE WILL THROW TERROR INTO THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY"

Expressing the developments that could have occurred if there had been no terrorism in Turkey before, Kurtulmuş conveyed the following:

"If Turkey could have achieved this, if there had been no terrorism right under our noses, if it could have been prevented in due time, hundreds of Çanakkale Bridges could have been built. If this could have been prevented, Turkey would have built hundreds of Istanbul and Izmir highways. Unfortunately, terrorism has been shackled to Turkey by international imperialists, by those who govern today's world as if it were a law of the jungle. Now is the time to break free from these shackles. Turkey will leave behind the terrorism that it has carried the burden of for a long time. In unity and solidarity, the terrorist organization will dissolve itself, and we will all together throw terrorism into the dustbin of history without creating an environment that would allow terrorism to develop in this country again."

"THE COMMISSION WILL START WORK IN EARLY AUGUST"

Numan Kurtulmuş referred to the work of the Terror-Free Turkey Commission to be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, stating:

"We have established a Terror-Free Turkey Commission to oversee the process of freeing the nation from terrorism and the process of the terrorist organization laying down its arms, with the participation of all political parties, and to carry out any political and legal arrangements that may arise during this process. God willing, we will start this work as soon as possible, at the beginning of August. It will be short. This is not a matter that will occupy Turkey's agenda with very long discussions. However, this commission, which will emerge with the common determination of all parties in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, will also create a working order where different ideas will be discussed and brought to the agenda, but ultimately decisions will be made that will definitely benefit the nation and the country."

"TURKEY WILL BE A COUNTRY THAT HAS LEFT TERRORISM BEHIND WITH ALLAH'S PERMISSION"

Emphasizing that he hopes the process will not be very long, Kurtulmuş stated, "This commission will fulfill its responsibility and bring its proposals to the agenda of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, and Turkey will, with God's permission, be a country that has left terrorism behind, especially in a period when all the countries in the region are being increasingly drawn into the whirlpool of terrorism. We will strive together for this. We will support as a nation, we will shoulder it as a nation."

Kurtulmuş pointed out that the 50-year period of terrorism is not a short time, stating, "If the terrorist networks used by imperialists as proxy organizations among the people of this country had been successful, Turkey would have been divided long ago, but no one has the power to distinguish between the Turks and Kurds of this country, nor will anyone have that power, with God's permission."

"MAY ALLAH NOT GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO TURKEY'S ENEMIES"

Kurtulmuş pointed out that this process is not one that any party can manage alone, and continued his speech as follows:

"In conclusion, I say that this process is not one that any party can manage alone. This process is not a political process in any way. This process is a struggle for existence that 86 million people must collectively embrace and carry out together. May Allah be our helper. May Allah not give opportunity to the enemies of Turkey. May Allah not allow those who have their eyes on the unity and solidarity of this country to succeed in any way. For them not to succeed, we need to be successful together, in unity, brotherhood, development, and progress."

"I WISH MERCY FROM ALLAH FOR THE MARTYRS OF THE FOREST"

Referring to the forest fires that occurred in different provinces of Turkey, Kurtulmuş stated, "Unfortunately, today, especially the Karabük fire continues, and it is impossible not to remember our citizens who were harmed due to the serious fire that occurred yesterday in Kestel, Bursa, and sadly, our firefighter brother who lost his life while intervening in the fire in Bursa. I wish him mercy from Allah."

Recalling that they buried the martyrs of the forest in Ankara and many places in the country, Kurtulmuş wished for their places to be paradise.

"WE WANT FOREST FIRES TO END IN OUR COUNTRY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE"

Kurtulmuş pointed out that there are ongoing forest fires in many countries due to extreme heat, and continued his words as follows:

"In a period where almost all forests have turned into kindling due to extreme heat, we pray and hope that Allah protects our nation from such significant forest fires. May Allah ease the work of all our forest organizations, our fire departments, and the valuable elements of central and local administrations that have intervened from the very first moment in the forest fires. We want forest fires to end in our country as soon as possible."

"WE REMEMBER IBRAHIM BODUR WITH GRATITUDE ONCE AGAIN"

Expressing that Dr. İbrahim Bodur, the founder and honorary president of Kale Group Companies and Kaleseramik Factories, has brought an important brand to the Turkish industry, Kurtulmuş continued his speech as follows:

"We remember once again with gratitude the late İbrahim Bodur, one of Turkey's pioneering industrialists, who played a significant role in establishing this valuable industrial organization under difficult conditions and bringing it to this point, truly one of the star names of Turkish industry."

With great effort, it was his fate to bring out an important brand of the Turkish industry in difficult days and under challenging conditions. The valuable employees of Çanakkale Seramik, especially his children, have rapidly developed and grown this brand he established on the path to becoming a universal brand today.

"WE RESPECT THE LABOR OF EVERYONE WHO NAILS A NAIL INTO THIS HOMELAND"

Kurtulmuş expressed his hope that the brand would maintain a strong presence in the global competitive environment for many years to come, using the following statements:

"In fact, with such meetings, we are demonstrating our sensitivity on a matter that goes far beyond just coming together and awarding some of our friends. We respect the labor of everyone who nails a nail into this homeland. Anyone who contributes to this country over the years and in the future, anyone who puts their effort into the development of this country has a place above our heads. In this context, as our esteemed Governor just mentioned, one of the most important characteristics of Mr. İbrahim Bodur is that he has prioritized industrialization and has significantly served and supported his own land, his own city, and his region. May his place be paradise."

Numan Kurtulmuş stated that he remembers with appreciation the entrepreneurs and investors who contributed to the development of industry and the economy in Turkey.

"WE ARE IN AN ERA WHERE DEATHS HAVE BECOME ORDINARY"

- "We are in an era where deaths have become ordinary."

Kurtulmuş, who stated that "We have entered a period where a forest law regime prevails," continued his speech as follows:

"In this order, as a nation, we have no option but to remain strong. When you look at international law, we are now ashamed to talk about Gaza. We are in an era where dozens, hundreds of people die every day, and unfortunately, these deaths have become ordinary. All international written texts in the world recognize this as genocide and order the prevention of those committing genocide, but how will you do it? The rule is on the side of the strong; the forest law is on the side of the uncle. The forest law is on the side of the strong. When the strong has someone behind them, they even consider it a skill to mock people while giving them 1 kilo of wheat, killing them with snipers as if they were wild animals in safaris in Africa. What good is it to call the United Nations to duty in the face of such lawlessness?"

"TURKEY MUST BE STRONG IN EVERY FIELD"

Kurtulmuş, stating that a wild forest law prevails in the international order, said, "To seriously change this order, countries like Turkey, which have principles and rules, must be very strong. We can never entrust our future to the mercy of others in this world. In such a world, we cannot entrust Turkey's future to organizations that have nothing left but words and signs. In this regard, Turkey must be strong in every field, with its state, its people, its industry, and its universities."

"WE ARE IN AN INTERNATIONAL TRADE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE STRONG ONES' IMPOSITION PREVAILS"

Kurtulmuş pointed out that international law and the international system reveal a great inconsistency and lawlessness, stating the following:

"For example, when it comes to trade, all liberal trade definitions are immediately presented to you in almost all universities around the world. The rules for how international trade will be regulated are written. But someone gets up in the morning and says, 'I have raised tariffs on such and such country, I will not buy this, I will not sell that, and I will prevent this from selling to that.' Where is the rule? Where is the World Trade Organization? Where are the rules of international trade that we thought were accepted by everyone? We are in an international trade environment where the word of the strong, the imposition of the one with resources prevails. You know this much better."

Kurtulmuş emphasized that such a global system cannot continue economically, stating, "Therefore, as Turkey, we must be strong in such an environment and use every opportunity to make our voice more respected."

Kurtulmuş pointed out that there is a need to be stronger in industry, technology, and international defense industry, saying, "If someone has a product, we will have two products that are superior to it. If someone's product has a share of so many billion dollars in world trade, our share will be stronger than that. As expressed in previous speeches before me, the most important thing is that we will have the strongest human resources."

Kurtulmuş emphasized that, in addition to high technologies, the most important strength in systems is human power, stating, "Because it is humans who make the industry, and it is humans who produce high technologies. In order for this human power to be as strong as possible, we will continue our efforts in a state of mobilization with all our strength, so to speak. For this reason, I would like to express once again that I appreciate the Kale Group for making such an important industrial investment and for striving to produce value in every field for this country for years."
