The General President of the Felicity Party, Temel Karamollaoğlu, is handing over the position he has held since 2016. Following Karamollaoğlu's decision to step down, the 9th Ordinary Congress of the Felicity Party, where a new president will be elected, has begun. During the congress, where Mahmut Arıkan, Birol Aydın, and Mustafa Kamalak are competing for the presidency, Karamollaoğlu delivered a farewell speech.

"I DID NOT BOW TO ANYONE FOR POSITION, STATUS, OR SEAT"

In his speech, Karamollaoğlu also referenced the famous verses of Nesimi, stating, "I am not saying I was a perfect president. I am not saying I did magnificent things, but during the time I served as your president, I never bowed to the path dictated by the oppressor. I did not bow to anyone for political gain, for position, for votes, or for a seat. I did not hesitate to express the truth out of fear of those who criticize."

"THEY DID NOT STOP SAYING WE SHOOK HANDS WITH KILIÇDAROĞLU"

Karamollaoğlu continued, "Those who see no harm in shaking hands with Netanyahu did not stop saying that we shook hands with Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu." He added, "Those who applauded Perez in Parliament and hosted Herzog at the Palace did not stop saying that the six parties of this country came together for the nation. Those who met with Trump and Biden at the Oval Office did not stop saying that we met at the six-party table... Everyone said something. They called us this and that. But thank God, they could never say we ate the rights of orphans. They could never say we received unfair tenders. They could never say we co-chaired BOP projects in dark rooms. While innocent children are being slaughtered in Gaza, they are sending trade ships to Israel, they could not say."

"FORGIVE ME"

Karamollaoğlu, asking for forgiveness from party members and citizens, concluded his speech as follows:

"This is my last speech as the general president. I repeat, I am not saying I was a perfect president, nor am I saying I did wonderful things. But I believe that the one who holds hearts is Allah. I say with all my heart that everything I did, I did for the sake of Allah, and I tried to do so. During this process, while fulfilling this duty, I must have had shortcomings and mistakes. However, I made an effort to avoid hurting anyone knowingly. Throughout this process, I tried to serve our party and our nation as much as I could. I tried to do my best in the name of one of the fundamental principles of National Vision, 'be a motor for good, and a brake for evil.' If there are people among you, our esteemed nation, whose hearts I have broken unknowingly and unintentionally, I ask for your forgiveness. Please forgive me."
