The first Cabinet meeting was held after the PKK terrorist organization's decision to disband and lay down arms. The main agenda of the Cabinet, chaired by President Erdoğan, was the PKK's decision and the current status of the Terror-Free Turkey process.
CRITICAL STATEMENTS FROM ERDOĞAN AFTER THE CABINET MEETING
Key points from President Erdoğan's statements are as follows: "I once again wish patience to the proud, honorable, and dignified mothers of our martyrs and veterans. We are followers of a belief that has laid paradise at the feet of mothers. We work with the awareness that the more we support our mothers, both as a nation and as individuals, the more peace and prosperity we will achieve.
"THE WORLD IS AT A CROSSROADS"
We will definitely turn our vision of the Century of Turkey from potential into action, just like all the goals we have promised to our nation. We wholeheartedly believe that a brighter, prosperous future awaits our nation after all the pain and suffering experienced. We have just completed another Cabinet meeting during a period when very critical developments are occurring in our region and the world. We addressed the effects of the crises around us on our country's economy and security. It is a fact that humanity is experiencing some of the most painful days in recent years. It is becoming clearer every day that the world is at a crossroads.
"TURKEY IS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES THAT MANAGES THE CHAOTIC CLIMATE IN THE WORLD BEST"
Humanity is rapidly being swept into a vortex of uncertainty. Turkey is one of the countries that manages this chaotic climate, affecting everyone regardless of size, the best. The Presidential Government System, which has provided our country with significant advantages in the fight against the pandemic, grants Turkey asymmetric opportunities.
"TURKEY'S CAPTAIN'S BRIDGE IS ENTRUSTED TO CAPABLE TEAMS"
The management change implemented with the appreciation and favor of our nation is being understood better day by day. I believe our nation has personally witnessed this truth; in the stormy period of global politics and economics, Turkey's captain's bridge is entrusted, thank God, to competent, experienced, and capable teams. The future of 86 million is safe, secure, and in capable hands.
"DO NOT LET THE PAINFUL PROCESS OUR REGION IS GOING THROUGH DISTURB YOU"
Do not let the painful process that the world and our region are going through disturb you or cause you any anxiety. Especially our business circles and investors should not be worried at all. Turkey's compass only points to bright and prosperous horizons. With God's help, we will definitely bring the ship to safe harbors. Just as we said the 2008 crisis would barely touch our country and it turned out to be true, just as we overcame many adversities from conspiracies to terrorism and coup attempts, just as we managed the pandemic and kept our government away from the region and war, we hope to emerge from this risky process with our heads held high and even stronger.
"TURKEY'S CRISIS RESOLUTION CAPACITY IS INCREASINGLY BEING ACCEPTED"
With the legacy we inherited from our ancestors and the inspiration we draw from our ancient state tradition and rich civilization, we will reach our destination under the guidance of 23 years of experience spent serving the nation. Turkey's strength, reputation, and crisis resolution capacity are increasingly being recognized. First of all, I would like to express our satisfaction with the ceasefire that resulted from the tension that erupted between Pakistan and India.
CEASEFIRE BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND INDIA
While openly declaring our support for the brotherly people of Pakistan, we made intense efforts to reduce the tension that had escalated to very dangerous levels. The phone conversation we had with my brother, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of Pakistan, was quite significant. I hope the calm environment provided by the ceasefire will facilitate the resolution of all issues, especially the water issue.
"WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE SIDE OF PEACE"
Our stance in such crises is clear. We are always on the side of peace, stability, diplomacy, and dialogue. We reject the understanding that sees its gain in the loss and destruction of others in international relations. We believe that competition, where everyone can benefit, is the right path instead of a hot conflict where all parties will pay a price, whether little or much. Our efforts to create a peaceful, conciliatory, and cooperative positive agenda continue. The last two weeks have been quite intense in this regard. Our visit to Rome was productive. We accepted the summit declaration. In our meeting with Prime Minister Meloni, we set the target of raising our bilateral trade to 40 billion dollars.
