President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who attended the AK Youth Strategy and Consultation Camp Closing Program at the AK Party Congress Center, was delighted by the enthusiasm in the hall. Interrupting his speech, President Erdoğan turned to the President of the AK Party Youth Branch, Yusuf İbiş, and asked whether the enthusiastic moments in the hall were being recorded. After receiving the answer he wanted from İbiş, Erdoğan continued his speech with the words, "Let's go."
Highlights from Erdoğan's statements; "Valuable youth branches, our district and provincial presidents, dear friends on this path and cause, I greet you with all my heartfelt feelings. Dear young people, I greet you, all members of the youth branches, all the youth of Turkey, and you dear young friends who are the assurance of today, with love and respect. You AK Party youth, who are united with your history, nation, country, state, and flag, I thank you for your love that cannot be contained in these halls."
President of the AK Party Youth Branch, Yusuf İbiş "WE CAPTURED THE PICTURE OF TURKISH YOUTH" As the AK Party, we continue to implement the culture of consultation at every level. First, our women's branches came together. We met with the party's executive team. We had the opportunity to evaluate the expectations, desires, concerns, and goals of the youth during the camp. We captured the picture of Turkish youth. We assessed the goals and desires of the youth. I greet my young friends, who are the assurance of today. Each of you will continue to serve our cause by adding excitement to your enthusiasm with the knowledge you gained at the camp.
"WE ARE EXPANDING OUR RANKS DESPITE PERCEPTION OPERATIONS" The political address of the youth is undoubtedly the AK Party. We have received the favor of more than half of the youth who voted for the first time in the 2023 elections. We buried our rival, whom the youth affectionately call their democratic uncle, with the support of millions of young people. Despite all kinds of perception operations, we are expanding our ranks. We continue to instill confidence in our friends and fear in our rivals. In the last 3 months, 130,000 new members have joined our family. There will be new memberships in our party tomorrow. We continue on our path with strength. You will connect Turkey with its century-old goals. Our youth are in pursuit of the red apple. I believe you will elevate the flag you have taken from us.
When we look at history, we witness that the greatest revolutions were made by the youth. The youth will raise our banner even higher. Each of you is at the age that Sultan Fatih was when he received the good news from our Prophet. The youth in this hall is the cadre that moves towards the same goal as that blessed army advancing confidently towards Mecca. The youth in this hall is the cadre that takes the brave ones who stood against the treacherous FETÖ members on the night of July 15 as their example."
