Yavuz Ağıralioğlu, Chairman of the Anahtar Party, reacted to assessments that his party was seeking an alliance at a public meeting in Sakarya. Ağıralioğlu, who said they were not waiting for an alliance at anyone's door, called out to those who carry this perception, 'Get a hold of yourselves.' Ağıralioğlu said they could support Mansur Yavaş provided that he has the will to transform the Presidential Government System into a semi-presidential system.
(SAKARYA)
- Anahtar Parti Chairman Yavuz Ağıralioğlu said, 'Anahtar Parti is being hurt by certain assessments. We are not waiting for an alliance at anyone's door, and we are not offering an alliance to anyone. We founded Anahtar Parti as the Turkish nation's Plan A. But we also say that we are not the kind of irresponsible people who would let their own ego or their party's badge stand in the way of the country's future. I must politely warn our friends who interpret our sensitivity and courtesy out of nowhere as if we want to go to a party: Come to your senses.'
After visiting citizens affected by the flood in Sakarya, Anahtar Parti Chairman Yavuz Ağıralioğlu attended his party's public meeting. In his speech there, Ağıralioğlu criticized the government and said, in summary:
'You could not be a remedy for your nation's problems. We have decided to take the country from you. Those who can solve problems stay; those who can be a remedy for the nation's troubles stay; those who cannot go. Those who touch the nation stay; those who can be hope for the nation and the nation's problems stay; those who cannot go. Those who can be an opportunity for their children's dreams come; those who cannot go. Those who support production in the country come; those who become a sacrifice to rent go. Those who are mercy to their nation in the country come; those who become a burden on their nation go. Those who honor the rights of labor come; those who are patrons of thieves, shameless people, and pickpockets go. Those who embrace and protect their country come; those who divide and tear apart the country go. This cycle has always been like this. You come with humility, you leave with arrogance. You come with thrift, you leave with waste. You come with production, you leave as a sacrifice to rent. You come with justice, you leave with oppression! You govern the country for 25 years. If, with the values that make you enamored with your nation, you cannot become mercy, abundance, and plenty for your nation, you hand the country over to Anahtar Parti and leave.
NOBODY HAS RESIGNED; THEY ARE PROBABLY WAITING FOR MY RESIGNATION
When $18.5 billion is turned into volume, it makes a thousand trucks, a thousand trucks! We were swindled in the final stretch. Turn FX-protected deposits into trucks too; there is another thousand trucks there. The 25-year average interest rate of your government is twice that of the Republic; we were going to pay $400 billion in interest, we have paid $800 billion, and there are another 4,000 trucks there! We will talk truck by truck. About FX-protected deposits, investments under the name of public-private partnership, interest, and the rights of our labor. We talked about it last. In the end, in a period when you also boasted of being the protector of those with no one, the abandoned in this country were swindled. We are talking about money by the truckload. The head of the BDDK is at his post, the head of Takasbank is at his post, the Minister of Treasury and Finance is at his post; nobody in the country has resigned, they are probably waiting for my resignation! No one is ashamed, no one feels shame. We are talking about money by the truckload. Order has been broken in the country, the market has been broken, peace has been broken in the country, trade has been broken in the country. In the past, politicians would ask for the ballot box, and Mr. Tayyip would too; in 2002, when Mr. Tayyip made the squares echo with calls that the country needed an election, such conditions existed, and he was traveling from square to square. Everywhere he met with crowds gathered for him, with his promise to protect the nation's rights, he pulled the political government into competition on a line of obligation. What was he doing? Election, election, election! Why? He said there is inflation, election! He said the nation is groaning under interest rates, election! You were saying businessmen are throwing cash registers, the nation is committing suicide! The nation is committing suicide under your 25-year rule, election! Now, hold it on time, do not hold it early; now even holding it on time is early; what is late is this: early for us, late for the nation! It is late for those who live every day with the problems you cannot solve. One way or another, that ballot box will come.
WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR AN ALLIANCE AT ANYONE'S DOOR
We want Anahtar Parti to serve its nation in the face of this storm. From time to time they say: 'Let the patriots come together.' From time to time we receive proposals in the field; these are well-intentioned proposals, well-intentioned wishes: 'Let nationalists and patriots come together.' We say that for the homeland our hearts touch one another, for the country our shoulders gain strength from one another and become like a wall. Let me say something here, because Anahtar Parti is being hurt by certain assessments. We are not waiting for an alliance at anyone's door, and we are not offering an alliance to anyone! We founded Anahtar Parti as the Turkish nation's Plan A. But we also say that we are not the kind of irresponsible people who would let their own ego or their party's badge stand in the way of the country's future. I must politely warn our friends who interpret our sensitivity and courtesy out of nowhere as if we want to go to a party: Come to your senses! We will never accept such hurtful, disrespectful assessments of those who have worked day and night for two years, who have run for two years to raise the country to its feet and to be the nation's Plan A, and who, while doing so, have not had a single malicious word that would violate your rights—never! Do you have nothing to say to your nation and to nationalists other than your lust for party? In a country with so many troubles, in a country with so many problems, do you have nothing to say other than speaking with party lust to people who expect unity and solidarity and who hope for the country to rise? Come to your senses; we are brothers, we are friends; we have sensitivities for the homeland, we are alike; we have worries, we have concerns, we are alike.
Are you imagining that we are wandering around at your doors for an alliance and making certain proposals to form an alliance, and are you getting carried away with your own fantasies? Therefore, this requires you to make certain statements that will prevent such things from being said about your friendship, your rights, and our togetherness over the years we have lived together politically. Leave these aside; if you are separating Anahtar Parti, then separate it for this reason: We did not slander you, we did not call you FETÖ members; you will not confuse us with those who did! We did not say to you, 'This party was founded by FETÖ members'; they were saying to us that we were founded to finish off the Nationalist Movement Party, and at that time we faced those slanders together. There was talk about leaving a party, ending, finishing, and so on; the same sentences you are saying were said to you. Come to your senses, come to your senses! We protect your rights, we protect our brotherhood, we feel the responsibility of patriotism, and we know what patriots expect in the coming period. We express our sensitivity regarding all of this, and we say that your shoulder is entrusted to our shoulder, your heart to our heart, your character to our character, and your honor to our honor. Speak correctly! When speaking about us, we ask you to speak in a manner befitting our brotherhood and nobility.
We act in brotherhood, we act honorably, we do not utter a single malicious word, and we do not allow one to be uttered. We are not people about whom you will say, 'If only they had repented, if only they had regretted it, why did they leave?' There is a lane of responsibility for Turkish nationalism in the coming period: to assume responsibility, to be a locomotive, and to raise the country to its feet.
{"text":"When I resigned, when I left the İYİ Party, I said something like this: 'This is the last election these nationalists will spend squeezing each other's throats,' I said, referring to the 2023 elections. Look, this is the last election in which these nationalists will spend grabbing each other by the collar and squeezing each other's throats. Because I said that if patriots and nationalists do this again, the country is gone. Therefore, while evaluating and conducting this last election with this sensitivity, we ask you to be kind and respectful. We do not practice a politics of slander; others slandered you, we do not; we responded, we made our chests a shield, we will not abandon our friendship ties. But you will show sensitivity.
CONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR MANSUR YAVAŞ
I said we can support Mr. Mansur Yavaş if he says, 'I can carry the will for change of the Presidential Government System, the plan for transition to a semi-presidential system'; conditionally! If he transforms the Presidential Government System into a semi-presidential one, if there is the sensitivity of hopes for change in this will for transformation, we will support it. There is the experience of Muharrem İnce, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu; from now on we will not remain in the shadow of the CHP's candidate, including the NEW Party in this. We say this from time to time while speaking in our consultations with Mr. Party Leader, we will never agree to an imposed candidate! The one who remains in the shadow has no shadow; we are the main plan under which the nation will be shaded. We will follow the upcoming process. "}
