"WE HAVE NO CONCERNS FOR OUR TOMORROW BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR PRESIDENT"

Minister Çiftçi pointed out that Turkey is currently going through a critical process and that there has been a war in the region for 33-34 days.  He mentioned that there is also a war in the north and that they have just started to stabilize the ongoing process in Syria. Çiftçi stated, "On top of that, a war has also emerged regarding Iran, but we know that we have a world leader above us. Thank God. While everyone is worried and wondering, 'What will our tomorrow be like?', we have no such worries, sadness, or grief because we have a world leader above us. Therefore, let us always pray for our President. Let us not neglect our prayers."

"WHAT ABDULHAMID HAN WAS, OUR PRESIDENT IS THE SAME TODAY"

Minister Çiftçi recounted that during his previous term in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, they went to Hobart Island in Australia, and he noted:

"We went to the mosque for Friday prayers. Afterward, we were invited to a wedding. We attended the wedding in the hall below the mosque. They had hung a picture of Sultan Abdulhamid II on the wall. We couldn't make sense of it. I asked the reason. They said, 'While Abdulhamid Han was the Ottoman Sultan and the caliph of the Islamic community, he sent a representative there. To the other side of the world. They have not forgotten this. They have hung his sacred memory, his respect, and his picture. Just as Abdulhamid Han was then, our President is the same today. There is no change. We need to appreciate the value of such a person. Such a person comes once in a hundred years. Think about it, a magazine listed four leaders who shape the world: the leaders of the USA, Russia, China, and the President of Turkey."
