AK Party General Secretary Eyyüp Kadir İnan stated that the NATO Summit in Ankara is a result of Turkey's 25 years of stable governance and strong foreign policy. Emphasizing that AK Party's quarter-century vision has turned Turkey into a game-shaping actor, İnan harshly criticized the opposition's remarks in foreign press. İnan said, "Our references are the support of our noble nation, the strong leadership demonstrated by our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the Century of Türkiye goal."
AK Party General Secretary Eyyüp Kadir İnan stated in his assessment regarding the NATO Leaders Summit to be held in Ankara on July 7-8 that Turkey's hosting is a natural outcome of the stable governance approach, strong leadership, and effective foreign policy vision maintained steadfastly for 25 years.
“A CONCRETE INDICATOR OF A QUARTER-CENTURY OF STABLE GOVERNANCE AND THE STRONG SUPPORT OF THE NATION”
Stating that Turkey is hosting one of the most important gatherings of international diplomacy today, İnan emphasized that Turkey's hosting of such a critical summit on a global scale during the 25th anniversary of the AK Party's founding is a concrete indicator of a quarter-century of stable governance and the strong support of the nation.
Noting that the trust the nation has placed in the AK Party in every election for 25 years is the greatest foundation of Turkey's international achievements, İnan said, "We have always prioritized the dignity of our nation and the interests of our country above everything else; we have never placed any other consideration ahead of Turkey's interests. We have never forgotten how noble a nation we represent, nor the sphere of influence of this great country we have taken on the responsibility of governing."
"OUR REFERENCE IS THE SUPPORT OF OUR NOBLE NATION, THE STRONG LEADERSHIP OF OUR PRESIDENT, MR. RECEP TAYYİP ERDOĞAN, AND THE TURKEY CENTURY GOALS"
İnan noted that the AK Party, with its vision ranging from democratic reforms to works and service politics, and from the defense industry to diplomacy, has elevated Turkey to a position of a country that sets the agenda in its region and is listened to in the world, and stated that the NATO Leaders Summit held in Ankara is one of the most important international indicators of this powerful march.
Also criticizing the opposition's rhetoric aimed at overshadowing Turkey's international successes, İnan stated that the mindset that considers complaining about Turkey to the foreign press as politics cannot read the will put forth by the nation.
İnan concluded his statement with these words: "Our reference is not the anti-Turkey rhetoric made to the foreign press by a failed politician, a so-called party leader; it is the support of our noble nation, the strong leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the Turkey Century goals."
“THOSE WHO TRY TO DENIGRATE THEIR OWN COUNTRY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THE STRATEGIC POWER TURKEY HAS ACHIEVED”
İnan's statement is as follows: "Our nation has trusted us in every election for 25 years; it has always made its choice in favor of the AK Party. Today, we are witnessing one of the strongest outcomes of the struggle we have carried out with determination for a quarter-century and the trust our nation has placed in us. We have always prioritized the dignity of our nation and the interests of our country above everything else; we have never placed any other consideration ahead of Turkey's interests. We have never forgotten how noble a nation we represent, nor the sphere of influence of this great country we have taken on the responsibility of governing. On the 25th anniversary of our AK Party's founding, our country is hosting one of the most important NATO summits. In our 25th year, our words on a global scale continue to grow stronger. The AK Party, with its democratic reforms, works and services implemented, and a vision extending from the defense industry to diplomacy, has elevated Turkey to a position of a country that sets the agenda in its region and is listened to attentively in the world. Today, our country's hosting of one of the most important NATO summits is a natural result of the strong foreign policy, trustworthy leadership, and stable governance approach built with determination over 25 years. Unfortunately, some considered complaining about Turkey in foreign newspaper columns as a skill, but they were mistaken again. Those who try to denigrate their own country on the pages of the Financial Times will not understand this great march rising with the nation's will, nor the strategic power Turkey has achieved. Our reference is not the anti-Turkey rhetoric made to the foreign press by a failed politician, a so-called party leader; it is the support of our noble nation, the strong leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the Turkey Century goals."
