President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the party's 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress held at the Servet Tazegül Sports Hall in Mersin. Erdoğan's enjoyable moments drew attention. HE LONGLY ACCOMPANIED THE SONGIn his speech at the Congress, Erdoğan accompanied the song "I Love You" by Cengiz Kurtoğlu, which was playing in the hall, for a long time. The moments when President Erdoğan accompanied the song received great interest from the participants and created a pleasant atmosphere in the hall. Erdoğan's enjoyable moments elevated the enthusiasm in the hall to its peak. "NOBODY CAN HARM MERSIN'S GLORIOUS PICTURE"Highlights from Erdoğan's speech at the ceremony are as follows: "No one who has come to Mersin has been belittled as 'Yörük', marginalized as a Kurd, excluded as an Arab, looked down upon as a Syrian, or classified by saying 'from this city, from that city'. Because this is a cradle of civilizations, a city that hosts the legacy of all the ancient peoples and beliefs of our geography. Nobody can harm this glorious picture of Mersin. With God's permission, this city teaches the law of brotherhood to the world and will continue to do so. As the most strategic port city of the Eastern Mediterranean, it will continue to breathe life into our economy. With its fertile lands, it will continue to feed not only our citizens but all of humanity. In short, with its human wealth, the beauty of its physical geography, and its magnificent potential, Mersin will make its name more spoken of in the century of Turkey. "OUR CONGRESS WILL BE THE MILESTONE OF A NEW INITIATIVE"No one will be able to disrupt this beautiful climate in Mersin, with God's permission. No political interest, no social and cultural difference, no personal account can justify harming this quality that makes Mersin the exemplary city of the Mediterranean. Everyone with reason and conscience will acknowledge where Mersin has come from and where it is now during the 22 years of the AK Party's governance. This city needs a vision, work, service, and investment that will activate its rich potential, not political, ethnic, or sectarian fanaticism. We look at Mersin with this perspective. We embrace Mersin with this sentiment. We have no doubt that our Mersin brothers will respond to our sincere approach and open hearts. We seek the reasons for the election results so far not in the people of Mersin, but in ourselves. If there is a fault, it is ours; if there is a mistake, it is ours. But we will compensate for this together. This means we need to work harder, enter more hearts, give more effort, and sweat more. Inshallah, our congress will be the milestone of such a period, a new excitement, and a new initiative. "IMPERIALISTS HAVE DRAGGED OUR COUNTRY INTO A PERIOD FILLED WITH ECONOMIC COLLAPSES"The first 80 years of our country have been marked by the burdens of the First World War and the pains of the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic, which was burdened by centuries of fatigue. We paid heavy prices for the destructive and oppressive policies of single-party fascism against our nation's faith, history, and culture. The front of this destruction was attempted to be cut off with a democracy and development movement that began with the late Menderes. However, the imperialists, who did not want Turkey to grow and stand on its own feet, did not remain idle. They dragged our country into a period filled with coups, juntas, ideological struggles, economic collapses, and social upheavals. These painful years are the work of those who whispered the message that our children succeeded after the coups."
