In a meeting of the party group, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli evaluated the current issues on the agenda and criticized Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya regarding the operation against the terrorist organization ISIS in Yalova. Referring to Yerlikaya's statement, "These terrorists are Turkish citizens," Bahçeli said, "It is extremely disturbing and problematic to say that ISIS terrorists are citizens of the Republic of Turkey."
The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, made evaluations regarding current issues at his party's group meeting. Allocating a significant part of his speech to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Bahçeli stated, "Perhaps in history, there has never been an incident of banditry and kidnapping as coincidental as this. The Pirates of the Caribbean movie has taken place right before the eyes of the whole world."
CRITICISM OF YERLİKAYA'S WORDS
Continuing his remarks, Bahçeli referred to the operation against the terrorist organization ISIS in Yalova, criticizing Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya's statement, "In the conflict, 6 terrorists were captured dead. These terrorists are Turkish citizens." Emphasizing that this statement is problematic and disturbing, Bahçeli said, "It is extremely disturbing and problematic to say that the ISIS terrorists who martyred our police in Yalova are Turkish citizens. Such statements should be avoided."
Headlines from Bahçeli's speech;
"Passing through the stages of the new century one by one, it is our nationalist goal to align the decree of our ancestors with the dignity of our children. The new century is pregnant with a Turkey crowned as a superpower.
The realization of this blessed birth will be achieved through justice, morality, humanity, compassion, courage, fairness, virtue, and civilized power, gaining the respect and admiration of the world. This process may be painful. We will walk and rise by saying, 'Where there is faith, there is a way.' A superpower Turkey is unstoppable.
Those who chirp like crickets, those who have made crawling their profession; you may continue to sleep, but we will never sleep. The threat is great.
The MHP and the People's Alliance are the moral brand in politics that revives withered faces, holds painful hands with compassion, and considers sharing in troubles a duty. This brand will exist and will elevate the brand value of the Turkey Century to the highest level.
THE ABDUCTION OF MADURO TO THE USA
International law has been at the bottom of the trash can for many years. When we shed light on the entirety of human history, it is possible to say that countries with military and weapon superiority are more tyrannical. The way forward for what is to come is clear.
Human rights are in an unknown place and have been left to die. Perhaps in history, there has never been an incident of banditry and kidnapping as coincidental as this. The Pirates of the Caribbean movie has taken place right before the eyes of the whole world.
I do not just condemn the attack against Maduro with hatred and violence; I completely curse it. This shame, this cruelty, this opposition to human rights, this scandalous act is not a right for anyone, nor a privilege for any country.
Those who come by election must go by election, and the guilty must account for their actions in their own courts; this is the norm of democracy and law. The Venezuelan example will neither be the first nor the last. This is not a situation to be accepted. A person has been kidnapped, and a forced transfer of leadership has taken place.
The similarity to the July 15 betrayal is striking. The Maduro incident is a known and familiar conspiracy. The Venezuelan issue has collapsed upon the world like an old ruin.
Trump's common sense and administrative faculties have disappeared.
Now, is it understood our insistence on a Turkey without terrorism, is it understood our determination for national unity, is it understood that our saying 'A Turk who does not love a Kurd, a Kurd who does not love a Turk cannot be'?
"GLOBAL BALANCE HAS BEEN LOST"
The world is in a serious crisis. The UN has lost its credibility. Human rights have been ground in the mill of oppression. International law has been pulled from the suspension it was kept in to the phase of being hung.
The global balance has been lost. Trade wars, economic operations, and asymmetric wars have confronted countries across continents. The pressure before the 1st and 2nd world wars is being circulated globally at a higher level. We have transitioned from proxy wars to a period of direct use of force.
The streets in Iran are boiling. The tension in Taiwan continues to escalate. The genocide in Gaza, the sovereignty that pits Somalia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE against each other, is nothing but the failure of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
The phase of imperialism's frenzy has been intertwined with blood. More dangerous than a shark that smells blood is American imperialism that smells oil. There is no difference between horse theft and the theft of energy and precious minerals.
The whole world must rise against the imposition of the USA. Democracy and law must be defended by all humanity.
The USA is a crystal vase; it will shatter the moment it falls.
"EITHER BY CONSENSUS OR BY FORCE"
We are patiently continuing our efforts for the maturation of a Turkey without terrorism. With a great mobilization of embrace and solidarity, we will not fall into the pits of discord dug around us. The delayed integration process in Syria must take place. The non-negotiable demands of the SDF and YPG primarily lead to avoiding compromise. The SDF and YPG have established dominance in northern Syria. This region is rich in underground and above-ground resources. Either by consensus or by force, the territorial integrity of Syria must be established, and Arab tribes must stand by the Damascus administration. Israeli plans in Syria will be thwarted."
