The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, reacted strongly to allegations of "negotiation" during the process of a Terror-Free Turkey. Bahçeli stated, "Claiming that the organization is gaining profit is a cowardly distortion. Those who assert that the state is negotiating are slanderers."
The Chairman of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, made a written statement regarding the process of a Terror-Free Turkey. In his statement, Bahçeli reacted to allegations that the state was negotiating with venomous expressions.
BAHÇELİ: NO ONE CAN MEASURE UP TO THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ON NATIONAL ISSUES
MHP leader Bahçeli said: "The Nationalist Movement Party and the National Alliance are the political and intellectual dome of a daring understanding that has successfully passed the heavy test of love for the flag, homeland, and nation, and will continue to do so. Being the voice and word of truth in favor of our people, without faltering, stumbling, or falling into contradiction, is above all a requirement of loyalty to our blessed ancestors. The Turkish nation is a noble and revered nation, equipped with dignity and loyalty.
No one can measure up to our party and the National Alliance in the framework of national and spiritual issues, engage in arm wrestling, or challenge us.
"THE STEPS TAKEN IN THE PROCESS OF A TERROR-FREE TURKEY ARE SOLID"
If we set aside some negative and isolated outbursts related to the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey, it will be quite clear how solid, healthy, and sincere the steps taken are. In the new century of the Republic of Turkey, peace and security will prevail, prosperity and stability will come to the forefront, and national unity and brotherhood will undoubtedly gain a profound content. The fate of the homeland we live in will not be determined on the basis of enmity and betrayal, but by the noble mind and honorable morality of living together.
"A NEW PHASE HAS BEEN ENTERED WITH THE PKK BURNING ITS WEAPONS"
It will never be possible for traditional crisis centers that thrive on conflict and chaos to obstruct Turkey's path or hinder its blessed march. The Turkish nation has made its decision, and through the lovers gathered under the roof of the National Alliance, it has equipped and formed its honorable will in the context of the concrete realities of life. A new phase has been entered with the PKK terrorist organization's burning of its weapons.
The "Call for Peace and Democratic Society," which came to the agenda with the Imralı statement on February 27, has yielded results, and the organization has announced its decision to dissolve and has entered the phase of bidding farewell to arms. It has become an inevitable necessity for this challenging phase to be concluded within the established timetable and roadmap without being subjected to any provocation, and to be completed with the last weapon being burned. A Terror-Free Turkey is the assurance of today and the future, secured with the tough and arduous lessons learned from yesterday.
"THOSE WHO CLAIM THE STATE IS NEGOTIATING ARE SLANDERERS"
Those who cannot adapt to Turkey's new situation, who are caught unprepared and scattered by the dizzying developments, resorting to lies and slanders, and accelerating black campaigns are, in a way, the result of their spoiled dough. Those who claim that the state is negotiating are slanderers. To assert that a negotiation process is being conducted and that a terrorist organization that has dissolved itself has moved to a higher stage to gain new advantages is a cowardly distortion.
"THOSE WHO SEE TERRORISM AS A MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD HAVE RUN OUT OF MILK"
In fact, those who label the process as a "makeup of Sevr" without even reading a single article of the Treaty of Sèvres and those who try to interpret it this way have fallen into a pit of shame. Moreover, the claim that "they are expelling lieutenants and recruiting PKK members into the army" is a mouth that even outdoes the enemy. Those who see terrorism as a means of livelihood have run out of milk, and their valve has been closed. The water has been cut off for those who produce politics from blood, tears, and polarization, and their hopes have been shattered.
"ISRAEL'S ATTACK ON SYRIA IS NOT A COINCIDENCE"
Those who struggle to adapt to Turkey's new era, who claim that the state is in a cycle of concessions and surrender, are evidence of their impending doom and exhaustion. It is no coincidence that shortly after a group of PKK members burned their weapons on July 11, Israel directly attacked the peace and tranquility environment in the neighboring country, the Syrian Arab Republic, which is hanging by a thread.
"ISRAEL HAS SUNK TO A LEVEL LOWER THAN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS"
Moreover, Israel's resistance to the implementation phase of the memorandum signed with the Syrian regime on March 10, 2025, and its unwillingness to keep its promises is a deliberate and pathological dilemma that should be considered in the same context as the Israeli attack. It is clear that Israel, which spreads discord between the Druze and Arab tribes in southern Syria and bombs Damascus by taking advantage of the chaos, has sunk to a level lower than terrorist organizations.
"ZIONIST VANDALISM HAS SABOTAGED THE TERROR-FREE TURKEY AND REGION GOAL"
Zionist vandalism has sabotaged the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey and region, expanding the spiral of brutality to forcibly construct the chaos corridor planned throughout southern and northern Syria. The violation and denial of the political and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic is an unthinkable principled stance and policy for our country. It is evident that Israel's so-called "David Corridor" aims to reach the Anatolian borders and subsequently to hold on by resorting to all kinds of treachery. The expectations and demands of a known Druze sheikh, who is an accomplice of Israel, in this regard are also extremely threatening.
"THE CORRIDOR TO BE OPENED NORTH OF SUWEIDA IS A DEVIL'S CORRIDOR"
The corridor to be opened north of Suweida, which is at the center of the conflicts, is a devil's corridor, a division of Syria, and a targeting of Turkey. It will be in the best interest of the PYD/YPG terrorist organization to act in accordance with the call from Imralı on February 27, without falling into the Zionist trap and being deceived by maximalist ambitions.
Since 3000 B.C., Zionism, which has poisoned our geography and caused increasing violence and unrest, is destined to confront the Turkish nation, which has carried the honor of defending oppressed nations in its conscience for centuries.
"THE UNITED NATIONS IS IN A STATE OF INERTIA"
Approximately 400 square kilometers of Syrian territory has been seized by Israel's occupation. The rogue state Israel has established 10 military bases on this land. Israel is the number one source of instability for our region and world peace. It is now a matter of justice and humanity for the U.S. to support regional peace and tranquility with a fair, just, and balanced policy and to withdraw behind Israel. While these are happening, the United Nations is in a state of inertia.
"ISRAEL MUST BE MADE TO REGRET AND PAY A PRICE"
Moreover, the Security Council, which has lost its founding purpose and function, is only busy with passing the ball. The more tragic aspect of the matter is that the United Nations is effectively null and void. Those who serve as a spear for Zionism and imperialism will face the consequences they deserve in the face of global justice and conscience. Israel must be stopped, Israel must be made to regret, and Israel must pay a price.

"ANOTHER TRUTH THAT WE ARE PART OF THE ISLAMIC UMMAH"
The Turkish state mind has the power and authority to effectively ensure how this will happen, and the ways and methods to achieve it. In a period where dangers have become so acute, I would like to state that those who wish to overshadow the historic statement of our esteemed President at the Kızılcahamam Camp, if they are not ignorant, are connected to external forces. The address of our membership honor is the Turkish nation. It is another historical and ideological truth that we are part of the Islamic ummah.
As our late thinker Ziya Gökalp said, "We are from the Turkish nation, we are from the Islamic ummah." The ownership of existence and unity by Turks, Kurds, and Arabs; resisting the Zionist and imperialist plots and schemes will encompass and revive the golden age of the Turkish-Islamic world, creating a paradise on earth. The historical, sociological, and objective basis for the criticisms of those parasites who are disturbed by this is non-existent.
In this context, it is beneficial for those who pose as nationalists to clarify which nation's nationalism they represent, which mill's wheel they turn, and which sedition's forward post they are. It is a disgraceful slander to defame the Nationalist Movement Party and create a fuss about resignations from some newspaper headlines. The political brand and symbol of Turkish nationalism is the Nationalist Movement Party.
"WE WILL TEAR UP THE SCENARIOS OF THOSE WHO CALCULATE TO DESTROY TURK-KURD BROTHERHOOD"
It is not the business of any lineage or background to weigh the love of our nation and homeland of our party and the People's Alliance. Tearing up the ordered scenarios of those who calculate to destroy Turkish-Kurdish brotherhood is also the unwavering goal of our ideology and political struggle.
I express my gratitude to our leader, Başbuğ Alparslan Türkeş Bey, who initiated a very difficult, laborious, and honorable national service to lay the foundation of a cause 56 years ago, and to all those who contributed.
I pray for mercy from Allah for those who are no longer with us and for our martyrs. I wish long and healthy lives to those who are alive. I am grateful for their emergence at a time when history needed them; for being able to have a say in the destiny of the Turkish nation at the right time. I greet with love and longing all the heroes, men, women, young, and old, who have enabled the Turkish nation to look at its essence and future through a completely different educational perspective, offering a new vision.
Yesterday belonged to them, today they have become them. They will also be the ones of tomorrow. All our efforts and hopes are for them. We have been in the political arena for the last 56 years of the 102 years of our Republic. In the 79 years of multi-party life, we have left our mark as the mainstream political force in Turkish politics for 56 years. Whether directly as partners in several governments; indirectly as a dynamic force in the opposition; or as representatives of nationalism and national identity in the Turkish world; we have managed to sustain our existence as a political school around the cadres it has raised and the intellectual space it has created; as a model in terms of attitude, interpretation, and stance against the non-national; and as a hearth that burns in the homes of those who feel the love of their nation in every corner of our homeland.
"INSHALLAH, WE WILL CELEBRATE THE CENTURY OF TURKEY"
We will embrace the Turkish and Turkey Century with my valuable comrades who live, continue to live, and will continue to live the thought of Turkish nationalism, which finds its source in the Turkish-Islamic Ideal, under the roof of our party. The main idea of today's joint MYK-MDK meeting lies here. Additionally, as the driving dynamo of Turkish nationalism, it has found its first excitement in the three crescents; it has drawn the spark of love for the homeland and nation from the light of the three crescents. Although they may not be directly with us today, we still share our feelings with all the children of the nation whose unchanging sensitivity is the Turkish nation, regardless of which political party they belong to. We would certainly have loved for them to be with us in this tremendous struggle.
"THEIR APPRECIATION AND PREFERENCE ARE THEIRS"
We wished that every support they would give would contribute to our blessed cause. However, as a famous thinker suggested; they have wanted to experience that no wind will help ships that do not know their destination. Their appreciation and preference are theirs. No matter what anyone says in any corner, we possess every richness that a strong political movement should have. Our ideas are deep-rooted and strong. Our organization is widespread and powerful. Our cadres are mature and brave. Our policy is clear and consistent.
Our morality is clean and proper. Ideologies encompass the theoretical realm of the order and social life that an ideology dreams of. This can also be referred to as the realm of values. Love and concern for the homeland, nation, and flag; the expectation of a stronger country fall into this realm of values. Politics in the realm of values will undoubtedly create a more loyal, sincere, and rational base. We have no doubt about this. Because; ideals, dreams, and longings resemble stars. Even if we know we cannot reach them, finding our direction by looking at them is the reality of life and politics.
"MEETINGS TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF A TERROR-FREE TURKEY WILL START FROM ERZURUM"
The Nationalist Movement Party is more influential today than it was yesterday. It should not be expected that those who serve national unity and solidarity, who see the honor of the cause as a matter of life and death, will fall into contradiction and error. The Nationalist Movement Party and the People's Alliance are sworn to faithfully fulfill and execute the love of service to the Turkish nation and to carry it out to the end. To explain the process of a terror-free Turkey to our people, our meetings, covering all 81 provinces, will start from Erzurum on August 9, 2025, with 9 provincial centers.
"WE WILL GIVE OUR FULL SUPPORT TO THE COMMISSION IN THE GRAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF TURKEY"
With the theme "National Unity and Solidarity Meetings for a Terror-Free Turkey - Centuries-Old Unity, Endless Brotherhood," we will travel across our homeland with a compassionate and inclusive political style and express our thoughts. Another agenda item in today's joint MYK-MDK meeting will also be this. We will give our full support to the commission that is planned to be established in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. We will see in sequence how the opposition, which has even unjustly politicized the LGS and played with the dreams of our children, has fallen into the bottomless pits they have dug.
To those who say that the Turkish nation is being compromised, we will continue to read the epic of the Turkish nation in the new century. To those who say a Republic without Turks, we will steadfastly show that we are the unwavering defenders of the survival of Turkishness and the thousand-year-old brotherhood. Let it not be forgotten that the line of the Nationalist Movement Party is clear, its principles are transparent, its ideal is great, and its moral and political heritage is as strong as steel, and these have not changed.
```
Whoever plays games on the brotherhood of Turks and Kurds, we will stand tall against all of them until the end and we will thwart their plans.
I would like to thank my comrades who will participate in today's joint MYK-MDK meeting in advance and wish them success. On this occasion, I respectfully greet my esteemed nation and my brothers living in our heart and cultural geography.
