President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan published a message on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
Erdoğan's message is as follows;
"My esteemed nation, dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with my heartfelt feelings, love, and respect. I sincerely congratulate you on your blessed Eid al-Fitr, which we have reached after completing another month of Ramadan, the beginning of which is mercy, the middle is forgiveness, and the end is salvation from torment. I hope that Eid al-Fitr will be a means of peace, prosperity, well-being, and brotherhood for our country, our nation, the Islamic world, and all humanity. I thank my Lord for allowing us to reach another Eid al-Fitr in health and well-being."
"THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA IS REACHING A MORE GRAVE DIMENSION"
Unfortunately, we have once again experienced this Ramadan with a heavy heart due to the oppressions, massacres, and pains occurring in different corners of our heartland. Especially the genocide happening in Gaza is reaching a more grave dimension with images that will tear the hearts of anyone with a shred of conscience, morality, and reason. As Turkey, we clearly express our stance against this brutality and strive to heal the wounds of our brothers with our aid. However, as long as the world, especially Western countries, does not take concrete action against this oppression, the courage and audacity of the oppressors will increase, and the cries of the oppressed will reach the heavens. I hope that the upcoming period will lead to a global awakening on this issue.
"WE ARE CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE DEVELOPMENTS IN SYRIA"
On the other hand, we are closely monitoring the developments in our neighbor Syria that concern us and taking the necessary precautions. We are aware of those who want to maintain instability along our southern borders by sabotaging the steps taken within the framework of Syria's territorial integrity and national unity, and we will not allow any of them, God willing.
"WE EXPECT THE ORGANIZATION TO DISSOLVE ITSELF WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY"
Similarly, we are continuing our efforts in line with our goal of a "Terror-Free Turkey" as per our roadmap. Our state has done its part by facilitating a call to action. Now it is time for the organization to comply with this call without any conditions or excuses. We do not have unlimited time or patience in this matter.
We expect the organization to dissolve itself and completely lay down its arms without further delay. Our global, regional, and internal dynamics provide an unprecedented ground for the successful conclusion of such a process. When we achieve this together, we will have completely freed our country from a bloody and difficult calamity that has lasted for 40 years, God willing.
"WE WILL TAKE MORE EFFECTIVE STEPS TO PREPARE ISTANBUL FOR EARTHQUAKES"
My esteemed nation… Another issue that we have never let drop from the top of our agenda for the last two years is the reconstruction of the earthquake region. On the occasion of the second anniversary of the earthquake, we delivered the keys of 201,000 houses to their rightful owners. We aim to increase this number to 453,000 in terms of housing and workplaces by the end of the year.
Thus, we are fully fulfilling the promises we made to our nation, completely compensating for the physical destruction caused by the earthquake. The memory of our losses, whom we remember with mercy, will undoubtedly live forever in our hearts. By rebuilding our cities, we will offer a new horizon and new opportunities to our citizens whose lives have been turned upside down by this great disaster. We pray that our Lord protects our country and nation from such disasters. Of course, the threat of earthquakes continues to be our most important issue in many parts of our country, especially in the Marmara region. Although we have made all our plans and preparations as a government, we cannot achieve the desired speed of transformation due to the negligence of municipalities. In the upcoming period, we will take more effective steps to prepare Istanbul for earthquakes, if necessary, with additional measures to overcome this problem.
"NO ONE SHOULD TRUST THE POLITICIZATION AND WATERING DOWN OF JUDICIAL PROCESSES IN OUR COUNTRY"
The recent operations carried out by our security and judicial forces have helped us better understand the reasons for the delays caused by municipalities.
The plundering of resources allocated for serving Istanbul, both in terms of infrastructure and superstructure, for personal ambitions and commercial interests is the greatest betrayal to the people of this city. Of course, every Istanbulite has the right to hold accountable those who steal their and their children's future, life, security, and peace. No one should trust the politicization and watering down of judicial processes, which are applauded in Western countries as a "requirement of democracy, rule of law, ethical politics, and principled governance." We leave to the insight of our esteemed nation those who have lost their sense of responsibility to the extent of targeting public safety and our economy to cover up the corruption and bribery machine, acting with the understanding that "if we collapse Turkey, we will also collapse the government." I express my gratitude to every Istanbulite who will stand up for their life and city with a realistic, fair, and conscientious attitude, taking into account the new developments that will arise in the judicial process.
As the President and government, we will continue to work and fight decisively to elevate our country to the levels it deserves in every field in line with our vision of the Century of Turkey. On this occasion, I expect all my citizens who are traveling during the 9-day holiday we extended with administrative leave to obey traffic rules.
Once again, I wish that Eid al-Fitr brings tranquility to our hearts, love to our hearts, peace to our country, and peace to oppressed geographies. I greet each of my citizens with love once again. May your holiday be blessed."
