After the meeting between President Erdogan and CHP leader Özel, there came a statement from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli that will be widely discussed. Bahçeli stated, "It is evident that the contact and meeting traffic has turned into a smear campaign targeting the Nationalist Movement Party. When the veil of mystery surrounding these unexpected developments is lifted, the presence of other agendas and subtly fueled different expectations can be observed and evaluated with caution and carefulness."
The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, made a written statement regarding the current developments on the agenda. In his statement, Bahçeli emphasized loyalty to President Erdoğan and the People's Alliance, stating that the broad-based alliance between the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) is the "sincere wish" of the MHP.
"ONCE AGAIN, WE TAKE INITIATIVE SELFLESSLY"
In his statement, Bahçeli referred to the murder case of Sinan Ateş, the former Chairman of the Idealist Hearths, without mentioning any names, and used the expression "The attempt to poison the domestic peace and harmony by spreading the defamation of the Nationalist-Ülkücü Movement through a murder case whose indictment has been prepared is a full-fledged attempt."
The statement by Bahçeli also drew attention to President Erdoğan's frequent meetings in domestic politics, stating, "We respectfully acknowledge the meetings held by our President, the network of relationships he has established, and the bilateral contacts he has made, and once again, we take initiative selflessly to further ease his mind and share this choice with our esteemed nation."
"AN UNKNOWN EQUATION IS BEING ESTABLISHED"
The full statement by Bahçeli is as follows: "After the Local Elections on March 31, it is observed that a new equation with multiple unknowns is being established based on the search for normalization and softening between political parties, which are indispensable institutions of democracy in Turkish politics. Because everything happens in front of our nation.
The Nationalist Movement Party will not have the slightest discomfort in evaluating these supplementary and consequential dialogues reasonably and logically, as long as they are sincere, constructive, constructive, and beneficial for the nation and the country. There is never an end or result to polarization and conflict.
"MEETING TRAFFIC HAS TURNED INTO A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE MHP"
It is the primary and essential duty of political parties to embrace, talk, and seek solutions to the demands and problems of our nation with common sense. We will never have any objection or objection to this.
However, it is evident that the traffic of meetings and contacts, which have risen to the top of the hot agenda, has turned into a smear campaign against the Nationalist Movement Party.
When the veil of these unexpected developments, which we follow with attention, caution, and meticulousness, is lifted, the existence of other calculations, underlying different expectations that are being quietly fueled, is observed and evaluated.
Especially from television screens, social media platforms, and newspaper pages, it is constantly claimed that the Nationalist Movement Party looks at the normalization and softening environment with surprise, suspicion, and even causes harm.
"DEFAMATION OF THE NATIONALIST-ÜLKÜCÜ MOVEMENT THROUGH A MURDER CASE"
The widespread defamation of the Nationalist-Ülkücü Movement through a murder case whose indictment has been prepared, the constant promotion of certain figures accompanying this defamation, and even their door-to-door and screen-to-screen appearances are a full-fledged attempt to poison the domestic peace and harmony beyond a search for justice and law.
The Nationalist Movement Party will definitely be present at the trial of the aforementioned case, which will be held on July 1, 2024, and will confront the Turkish judiciary with dark games and their actors.
It is evident that domestic and foreign interest groups, partners of destruction, circles opposing political stability, and especially opponents of the People's Alliance are continuously active in tarnishing our party, in order to construct a crossroads.
Our love is for Turkey, and our pride of membership is for the great Turkish nation. Whatever we do, whatever we say, is for the benefit of Turkey and the Turkish nation.
If the Nationalist Movement Party is considered as a barrier to the sustainable establishment of the ordered normalization and softening atmosphere,
If there has been a wide-ranging alliance in this regard, our responsibility is to make any sacrifice for our country and our nation and to fulfill our duty with peace of mind.
"A BROAD-BASED ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE AK PARTY AND THE CHP IS THE SINCERE WISH OF THE MHP"
Taking into account the continuous efforts of dissatisfied groups within the AK Party to muddy the waters, it is the sincere wish and desire of the Nationalist Movement Party for a broad-based alliance to be formed between the AK Party and the CHP, with the support of the other elements of the sextet.
Nevertheless, our loyalty to the People's Alliance will continue resolutely, and our support for legislative proposals in the Turkish Grand National Assembly will continue as it is.
Moreover, there is no possibility of compromising, turning back, abandoning, or deviating from the principles and goals of the People's Alliance.
"EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE WILL STAND BY THE PRESIDENT"
Everyone should know very well that we will stand by our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, under any circumstances and will never leave him alone.
We respectfully acknowledge the meetings held by our President, the network of relationships he has established, and the bilateral contacts he has made, and once again, we take initiative selflessly to further ease his mind and share this choice with our esteemed nation."
