MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made evaluations regarding the current issues at his party's group meeting.

Speaking about the allegations that counterfeit $50 and $100 banknotes printed abroad have been circulated, Bahçeli stated, "The allegations of counterfeit money are completely false. The fact that it has spread to the Grand Bazaar and that the buying and selling in currency exchange offices has come to a complete halt is, in our view, an operation against Turkey."

STRIKING STATEMENTS FROM MHP LEADER BAHÇELİ

Highlights from MHP leader Bahçeli's statements are as follows: "The Turkish economy has shown growth performance for 17 consecutive quarters over the past 4 years. This is an important achievement. The budget deficit is expected to decrease to 3.1% next year, which will devastate those who are experiencing a pandemic of pessimism and political morality. While the siege of inflation is being broken, the severe wave of the cost of living is being repelled. The Turkish economy has left behind troubled and difficult periods.

"ALLEGATIONS OF COUNTERFEIT MONEY ARE COMPLETELY FALSE"

The MHP believes that the allegation of counterfeit money has been deliberately circulated. The allegations of counterfeit money are completely false. The fact that it has spread to the Grand Bazaar and that the buying and selling in currency exchange offices has come to a complete halt is, in our view, an operation against Turkey. These are completely lies and distortions. An investigation has been initiated ex officio to examine the issues of counterfeit money production. The fight against fraud must continue. The aspirations of those who plan for our country to be associated with counterfeit money should be thwarted. There is no need to panic; our citizens should remain calm.

"DEFEAT IS NOT RETREAT, IT IS GIVING UP"

Defeat is not retreat; it is giving up. It is not the improvisational choice of an elite group that transported Mustafa Kemal Pasha from Istanbul to Samsun, but the operational capability of the Turkish state mind."
