In a statement made during the party group meeting, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli addressed the claims raised during his illness, saying, "We have witnessed with astonishment the charlatans who say that he is using a stunt double, that he has been replaced by a robot, that the truth is being hidden, and that he has already died. They do not know that the only one who will take the life we carry is the Almighty Allah, whose wisdom cannot be questioned."

In his speech at the group meeting, MHP Leader Devlet Bahçeli made statements regarding the current issues on the agenda and also responded to the claims raised during his illness process.
"TO THE CHARLATANS WHO SAY I AM DEAD..."
Bahçeli, who said, "Due to the illness I have experienced, we had to bow down to separation, albeit unwillingly," stated, "Nevertheless, we continued our work uninterrupted. We closely followed and noted the agenda of Turkey and the world. In every situation where it was needed, we shared our views and thoughts with our esteemed nation, but of course, the fitna did not stop, it did not pause. The barrage of fire did not cease. We watched in astonishment the charlatans who claimed I was talking to artificial intelligence with their poisonous tongues. We witnessed in amazement the charlatans who said I was using a stunt double, that a robot was made instead of me, that the truths were hidden, and that I had long been dead. They do not know that the life we carry is entrusted only and only to the Almighty Allah, who is beyond questioning."
Highlights from Bahçeli's statements;
"I condemn the attack on our Prophet. A legal action plan should be prepared against Islamophobia. I strongly condemn the disgusting attack on our Prophet Muhammad in the so-called humor magazine, and I find it important to prepare an action plan against the threat of Islamophobia. Due to the illness I have experienced, we had to bow down to separation, albeit unwillingly. Nevertheless, we continued our work uninterrupted. We closely followed and noted the agenda of Turkey and the world. In every situation where it was needed, we shared our views and thoughts with our esteemed nation, but of course, the fitna did not stop, it did not pause. The barrage of fire did not cease. We watched in astonishment the charlatans who claimed I was talking to artificial intelligence with their poisonous tongues. We witnessed in amazement the charlatans who said I was using a stunt double, that a robot was made instead of me, that the truths were hidden, and that I had long been dead. They do not know that the life we carry is entrusted only and only to the Almighty Allah, who is beyond questioning.
"OUR HEALTH AND STRENGTH ARE IN GOOD CONDITION"
Thank God our health, happiness, and strength are in good condition. Moreover, we have much more work to do, more goals to reach, more friends to make happy, and more enemies to shake.
The Turkish nation will undoubtedly rise to the level of prosperity, peace, and development it deserves. Forests are national wealth; forests are spiritual abundance. The burning of a tree is essentially an attack on the existence of the country and the nation. Fires caused by negligence, carelessness, thoughtlessness, recklessness, recklessness, or sabotage have now exceeded the limits of tolerance. The forest fires that broke out in different provinces and districts of our country last week have made it mandatory to take extraordinary measures. The question of whether our forests will burn again in the summer has become a routine cycle that deeply wounds our nation, as the fear of what we dread comes true. I believe that the re-greening of our burned forests and the return to their former beauty will be possible through our collective efforts. I sincerely thank every member of our Ülkü Ocakları Education and Culture Foundation, who actively intervened in the fight against fires, coordinated with the officials working in the field, and alarmed in a timely manner. We are in solidarity with every institution of the state against the fires. I wish a speedy recovery to our people who are struggling with the fires. I wholeheartedly believe that we will overcome this disaster and heal our wounds one by one.
"THE REPUBLICAN PEOPLE'S PARTY'S LEGAL ISSUES..."
It is evident that the opposition has been subjected to a severe destruction in terms of political ethics and conscience. Those who appear to be like logs that cannot sprout and leaf will not benefit our country or our nation. Those who are at the center of dubious relationships under the clouds of suspicion showing a complete political character and moral stance is a futile desire. The emergence of every distorted and illegitimate case, from the corruption storm engulfing municipalities to the shadow of party congresses, is primarily a great insult to our nation. The legal issues of the Republican People's Party are the result of its increasingly deteriorating and sickly structure. The postponement of the visible case regarding the Republican People's Party's 38th congress and this trial session to September 8, 2025, has no value or agenda in our eyes.
Reaching September 9 as one and whole is a democratic opportunity for the Republican People's Party. If these sincere recommendations are not realized, this party will wear down Turkish politics. It will not only waste its political existence but also damage Turkish democracy. Unfortunately, the Republican People's Party has now crossed the line to use state resources illegally for its political goals and to form a network. The statement of the Republican People's Party's chairman in Europe against Turkey is nothing but a concrete echo of a dark style's darkened and hardened consciousness. It is said that this person was applauded at the congress of the German Social Democratic Party. Forget these tales; come and tell me these nonsense. It is a disgraceful lack of principle and credibility for a politician who gives sweet talk to foreigners to discuss or even compete in slandering his own country and nation.
"GET YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT"
It is quite sad that those who leave the future of the CHP to the mercy and compassion of foreign powers are transitioning to national sovereignty. We sincerely warn our interlocutors. Get your head straight and listen to the judgment of history and the nation.
"HOPES SHOULD RISE, A CLIMATE OF PEACE SHOULD PREVAIL"
In the new century, there is no place for terrorism. It is out of the question to endure the costs paid and the sufferings endured so far again or to be subjected to them. Turkey has entered a new era. Therefore, the PKK must complete its disarmament process as soon as possible. Maximum caution should be exercised against sharp definitions that will lead to new conflicts that no one can handle. The PKK has declared that it has dissolved its organizational existence and laid down its arms. The responsible and result-oriented contacts of the DEM Party are noteworthy. The bloody process must be completely ended. Hopes should rise, and a climate of peace should prevail. There is no turning back from this. Otherwise, the cost of the results that will arise is beyond severe. We will extend our hand to every citizen of our nation and ensure the architecture of a future filled with peace and safety as the People's Alliance.
