President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made important statements regarding the agenda at the opening of completed projects in Trabzon.
Before attending the historic Gaza summit in Egypt tomorrow, President Erdoğan conveyed significant messages, stating, "Israel must stand behind the signature it has made."
STRIKING STATEMENTS FROM ERDOĞAN
Highlights from President Erdoğan's statements are as follows; "I congratulate our National Football Team, which defeated its opponent Bulgaria 6-1 in the World Cup qualifiers last night. I commend all our players and the technical team. May God bless their paths. I thank God for reuniting us with our brothers from Trabzon. Two days ago, we held the collective openings of our 38 projects completed in Rize. Today, we are together with you on the occasion of the collective opening of our 130 projects. I congratulate our ministries, municipalities, and institutions that contributed to these projects we successfully completed. We love this city for the sake of God. We love Trabzon with the spirit of 1461 and the passion of Sultan Fatih.
Until today, we have served Trabzon with love, just like our other 80 provinces, honoring this love. In the last 23 years, we have made a total of public investments amounting to 540 billion lira, according to current figures. I would like to briefly mention these services. We have completed the 2-kilometer section of the Kanuni Boulevard. We have opened the Beşikdüzü İskenderli Tonya provincial road for use. May both of our projects, with a total value exceeding 7 billion lira, be beneficial to you.
GOOD NEWS FOR TRABZON AIRPORT
I know that Trabzon airport is struggling to meet the demand. We have completed the new project, and we will hold the tender this year. We plan to start the works next year. God willing, we will also experience the joy of these openings together with you. If anyone can do it, it is the AK Party. We will build our third airport on the sea in Trabzon. God willing, we will also experience the joy of these openings together with you. Dear people of Trabzon: You are closely following this. There are truly historical breaks happening in our immediate vicinity. Just like a century ago, the world order is shaped by events centered around the geography we are part of.
RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR
Historical breaks are occurring in our immediate vicinity. The new world order is shaped by events in the geography we are part of. The war between Russia and Ukraine is approaching its 43rd year. Desired results have not yet been achieved in efforts to end the war. The bloody conflict, which sometimes escalates, is unsettling not only our region but the entire world. As Turkey, we want a balanced and fair policy here. We are in contact with both sides to stop the conflicts and establish peace. There has been no weakness in security in the Black Sea. As in every war, the winners here are the arms dealers. We are ready to do whatever is necessary to resolve this crisis.
GENOCIDE IN GAZA
After two years of genocide, the first step towards lasting peace has been taken in Gaza. Our brothers in Gaza are taking a breath of relief for the first time. Civilians, who were displaced due to Israeli airstrikes, are returning. Our humanitarian aid trucks have also started to reach Gaza. These are developments that give us hope after two years of oppression. However, everything is not over with the ceasefire agreement. A much greater test awaits humanity now. Now, Israel must stand behind the signature it has made. Gaza must be rapidly rebuilt. We have never been among those who bend or break in any period of our political life. We have never been among those who speak differently at home and abroad. We have never cast a shadow on the honor and dignity of this nation. Everyone has accepted Turkey's principled policies that speak for the conscience of humanity.
