An explanation has come from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli regarding the proposal that "one of the two vice presidents should be Kurdish and the other should be Alevi." Bahçeli stated, "Both Alevi and Kurdish are ours. In a period where Turkey is gradually advancing towards a Terror-Free Turkey, it has been evaluated that one of the two Vice Presidents could be Alevi and the other could be Kurdish, against the ethnic and sectarian impositions that burden our Turkey."

It was stated that MHP (Nationalist Movement Party) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, in a closed meeting with his party's members of parliament a few months ago, said that Kurds and Alevis cannot be excluded from the bureaucracy, and therefore "the President should have two assistants, one should be Kurdish, and the other should be Alevi." Bahçeli made a statement regarding the topic that is on the agenda.
BAHCELI'S STATEMENT REGARDING "KURD AND ALEVİ" WORDS
Emphasizing that everyone is equal before the law regardless of their origin, Bahçeli said: "The Nationalist Movement Party has permanent and profound proposals for every issue that directly or indirectly concerns our country, and this is the natural and correct thing to do. Turkish nationalism is the guarantee of the independence of the noble and revered Turkish nation, and the assurance of its historical personality and national identity.
It is well known that the Nationalist Movement Party is against all forms of discrimination, separatism, and ethnic and sectarian division without exception, and this has become a well-established political stance in the public conscience. In this context, we have no curiosity or search to hear, listen, learn, or take lessons from anyone. Evaluations regarding the hot topics concerning Turkey were made by myself during the closed meeting of the Central Executive Committee-Central Discipline Committee held on July 18, 2025.
“THE ASPIRATIONS OF THOSE WHO DREAM OF ETHNIC AND SECTARIAN DIVISION WILL REMAIN UNFULFILLED”
Among these, the stages of the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey and the significant developments achieved in this context have certainly been given important attention. However, the entire 102-year history of our Republic has been marked by the harassment, destruction, and provocations of ethnic and sectarian separatism. No one with a sound mind and conscience can deny this shocking reality. In the new century, with the manifestation of a "Terror-Free Turkey," the aspirations of those dreaming of ethnic and sectarian division will also remain unfulfilled.
“EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE” FORMULA
The political and legal possibilities of the Presidential Government System, with its theoretical and institutional principles, make it possible and certain to strengthen national unity and brotherhood. Its schematic formula has been translated into a political and legal thought pattern in the form of an equilateral triangle. Indeed, on the occasion of the afforestation campaign on November 11, 2024, inspired by the trees planted in front of our party, in accordance with the Turkish state tradition; the fir tree symbolizes the executive, the blue spruce symbolizes the legislature, and the cedar tree symbolizes the independent judiciary.
“IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED THAT ONE OF THE VICE PRESIDENTS COULD BE ALEVI AND THE OTHER KURD”
Additionally, it has been brought up as a political proposition that at the top, the President, and at the two corners below, there could be Vice Presidents. In a period where a Terror-Free Turkey is progressing step by step against ethnic and sectarian impositions that tire, wear out, and drain the energy of our Turkey, it has been evaluated that one of the Vice Presidents could be Alevi and the other could be Kurdish.
“LINKING THIS IDEA TO LEBANON IS A DELIBERATE DISTORTION”
To associate this idea and political proposal with Lebanon is a distortion and a deliberate misrepresentation of a sincere thought. No one has the power to turn Turkey into the complex and chaotic unstable structure of Lebanon or any similar country, nor will anyone dare to do so.
“NEITHER ALEVIS NOR KURDS FELL INTO HOSTILE TRAPS”
The effort to slander and terrorize a proposal shared based on history and culture by the bohemian and troubled political lowlifes longing for the nights of Beirut is a pathetic opportunism. The Republican People's Party has made our Alevi brothers a political material for decades, and games have been played over our Kurdish brothers. Despite many suggestions and fabrications, neither Alevis nor Kurds have fallen into the hostile traps that were planned against them, thank God.
“EVERYONE IS EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW REGARDLESS OF THEIR ORIGIN OR SECT”
No one is ahead of anyone, and there is no one obstructing. Moreover, whether Alevi or Kurdish, it is unthinkable for anyone to disregard the democratic and national will that emerges after any presidential candidate passes the 50% vote threshold, or to question the legitimacy that has manifested. The Republic of Turkey is a state of law. It is the rule of law, not the rule of the superior.
Regardless of their origin, sect, region, or mother tongue, everyone who is bound to the Republic of Turkey by citizenship is one and equal before the law. They are also honorable members of the Turkish nation. No one has any privilege or distinction that contains a difference from anyone else. However, it is morally and historically problematic to divert the thought of completely removing ethnic and sectarian separatism from the agenda alongside the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey.
“WE WILL NOT STEP BACK AN INCH FROM OUR VIEW”
It is a disgraceful audacity and indecency for those who rub their hands together to obscure the blessed future of Turkey and the Turkish nation to enter into a nationalism competition with us, who are from toxic circles. We do not care what the puppets hiding in the darkness of their comfortable corners say; we focus on what our nation says and what history will say. It is out of the question for us to step back an inch from our view.
“WE ARE READY TO FACE EVERY ATTACK”
The leaking of my words from the closed meeting to a well-known so-called journalist, and the way that gossip brand and every acrobat journalist brought it to the agenda like a treasure is significant in terms of timing. And it is among our notes. The Nationalist Movement Party is ready to face every attack.
“ALEVIS ARE OURS, KURDS ARE OURS”
The Nationalist Movement Party and the People's Alliance will not allow Turkey to be subjected to ethnic and sectarian earthquakes. Alevis are ours, and Kurds are ours. The mosque is ours, and the cemevi (Alevi place of worship) is ours. We are all together the Turkish nation. We are one, we are together, we are brothers, we are a very large family. If everyone is us, and if we are brothers, it is our national honor to act honestly and responsibly.
The pawn-like disruptors, those who muddy the waters, and those who act as extras in commissioned scenarios, who thus fuel the polarization of Turkish-Kurdish, Alevi-Sunni, secular-anti-secular, believer-non-believer, are rotten individuals who are not even worthy of being the stepchildren of this magnificent family.
