Fatih Erbakan, the Chairman of the New Welfare Party, visited Ahmet Davutoğlu, the Chairman of the Future Party. After the visit, which took place at the Future Party Headquarters, the two leaders made joint statements.
"WE AGREED ON THE NEED FOR A CONSERVATIVE OPPOSITION THAT PROTECTS OUR VALUES" In the meeting, Davutoğlu stated that they discussed current political events happening in Turkey and around the world, saying: "The great turbulence in the international system, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and the economic difficulties in Turkey, poverty, moral decay, and corruption are shaping our political agenda. The risk of fragmentation in Turkish politics due to the polarizing politics of the government and its efforts to maintain power with absolute authority is also a significant issue. As two party leaders, we openly discussed the consequences of the inability of a conservative opposition to be effective due to the government's mistakes in the face of the atomization of politics and the erosion of national/spiritual values. We agreed that a conservative opposition that embraces the whole society and protects our values should be formed against the government's polarizing policies, without any political calculations. In this context, we reached a consensus on the need to advance the cooperation between our parties in a way that will take concrete steps for the benefit of our country and our nation. As two party leaders, we will discuss the details of how cooperation can be established both between the two parties and with other opposition parties under the roof of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Our consultations will continue to intensify. Our primary goal is to present a new horizon and alternatives to our nation."
"THE RESIGNING MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME AGAINST THE NATION" Evaluating the resignations of members of parliament from the Future Party, Davutoğlu stated: "Now, the most important duty of a politician is to protect the reputation of politics. The most important duty of a member of parliament is to stand behind the commitments made to the voters who elected them. We are facing a very deep problem related to the political culture in Turkey. It is necessary to prevent the political climate that has been tainted by such transfers, which mean stealing the votes of the nation, by making the necessary changes in the political parties law in Turkey. Today, the most important issue in our politics is to prevent this moral decay. Unfortunately, not only our friends who resigned but all members of parliament who acted in line with a series of political maneuvers made by the government recently have committed a serious crime against the nation.
"THE FUTURE PARTY HAS BEEN THE PRIMARY TARGET OF ERDOĞAN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING" The Future Party has been the primary target of Mr. Erdoğan and the government from the very beginning. No other party has faced the obstacles we have encountered. Nevertheless, the Future Party has become one of the loudest voices against the government. After the elections, the Future Party's formation of a group first with the Felicity Party and then with the DEVA Party disturbed some people greatly. They did everything to dismantle this group.
"THE GOAL IS THIS: TO DISSOLVE THE NEW PATH GROUP IN PARLIAMENT" It is no coincidence that at a critical stage, the resignation of a friend in the Felicity group, which was formed with Felicity, brought the group to the brink of dissolution. The goal is this: to dissolve the New Path group in Parliament. We have bad news: We will never compromise. We will continue to disturb them in this regard. We will not leave this nation without alternatives. What will we do? We will work to protect the group we formed in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey with DEVA and the Felicity Party, which we have agreed on many issues, thought together on many matters, and share common concerns about moral decay, to establish a strong conservative, nationalist opposition that can shout the government's every mistake in its face, and to show that these broad masses in Turkey are not without owners.
