Mustafa Destici, the leader of the Great Union Party, who answered questions about current issues on the KRT screens, also made evaluations regarding the controversial sword oath of the lieutenants. "ARE YOU A SOLDIER OF MUSTAFA KEMAL?"During those moments, the host Sinan Onuş asked Destici, "So, are you a soldier of Mustafa Kemal?" Expressing that this was not a correct question, Destici stated, "First of all, Mustafa Kemal Pasha, Atatürk, Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, Alparslan; my dear, all our commanders in history, whose soldiers are we? We are the soldiers of the Muslim Turkish nation. At one time, we were the soldiers of the Ottomans, before that the Seljuks, and if you go further back, we are the soldiers of the Huns, the Göktürks, and the Uyghurs." "WE ARE THE SOLDIERS OF THE NOBLE AND NOBLE TURKISH NATION"Continuing his statement, Destici emphasized that Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was also an Ottoman pasha, saying, "Mustafa Kemal Pasha was an Ottoman pasha during the Ottoman period. More precisely, he was a soldier. In the state of the Republic of Turkey, he was also a pasha and a soldier. I am a soldier of the Muslim Republic of Turkey and the Turkish nation, just like all members of the Turkish Armed Forces. Just like every individual of the Turkish nation. We are all soldiers of the Republic of Turkey and the noble and honorable Turkish nation."
