President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 7th Ordinary Congress of the AK Party Istanbul Provincial Women's Branch. In his speech, Erdoğan drew attention to the decline in marriage rates and the increase in divorces, stating, "We are facing simulations that show our population will start to decline from 2035 and will decrease to 65 million by 2100."
"OUR POPULATION WILL START TO DECREASE FROM 2035"
Emphasizing the importance of women in the family structure, Erdoğan said, "In our culture, women are the cornerstone of the family. Eliminating the line between men and women does not make us modern. The decline in marriage rates and the increase in divorces pose a serious problem. According to population projections, our population will start to decrease from 2035."
"IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP OUR NATION AWAY FROM THIS MADNESS"
Erdoğan stated, "Today, in the world and in our country, dark projects are being attempted, and the most affected group is women. Under the guise of gender-neutrality, a situation has arisen that also includes men. It is almost impossible to object to this perversion that legitimizes child abuse in many Western countries. It is essential to keep our nation away from this madness. Turkey will continue to be one of the flag bearers in the fight against this insanity that is increasingly going off the rails."
"WE WILL IMPLEMENT NEW POLICIES FOR THE FAMILY INSTITUTION"
Pointing out that women are always considered an inseparable part of the family and that respect for women is always upheld, Erdoğan said, "The concepts of man and woman in our language only indicate gender distinction. Being swept away by global winds and eliminating the line between men and women does not make us modern; it makes us a toy of imperialists and globalists. While the number of marriages is decreasing, the number of divorces is increasing. Countries that give rise to such trends have started to take precautions because they see the danger. We will be by the side of our children with our support in every stage of their lives, from birth to marriage. We will fight uncompromisingly for the mental and physical health of our children. We will implement new policies for the family institution."
"WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUR FAMILY POLICIES TO BE SABOTAGED BY MARGINAL STRUCTURES"
President Erdoğan stated, "We will not leave any individual of society defenseless, alone, and helpless against global moral threats. Marginal groups that are disturbed by the family expression in our ministry's name will target us and our efforts. Those who speak out for women's rights will criticize us for standing up for the family, women, and children while remaining silent about the massacres in Gaza. They will direct all their arrows at us. We will definitely not take a step back. We will continue to resolutely unmask them. We will not allow our women's, family, and population policies to be sabotaged by marginal structures that have lost touch with the values of the nation. Just as we call for at least three children, we will not hesitate to do what is right for our country and nation here as well."
Highlights from Erdoğan's speech are as follows:
"THE OPPOSITION WILL WAIT 222 YEARS WITH THIS MINDSET"
"No matter where you look, you can see how women affect the entire society starting from the family. It is impossible to keep politics outside of this striking picture. The way to win the hearts of the entire family goes through reaching women. As the AK Party, we have achieved vote rates reaching 50% in elections by entering households through women. Only our women can achieve this conquest. Women can carry our party to the place it deserves. We want to reach a 50% vote rate again in 2028. Everything in politics has a piece of influence, but the greatest factor is hard work. Don't be fooled by the opposition's expectation of power with the mentality of 'waiting for the pear to fall into my mouth' without working. With this mindset, they will wait 22 years or even 222 years."
"THEY ONLY PLAY AT POWER AMONG THEMSELVES"
As long as they do not find the opportunity to think about the country's issues while squabbling among themselves, they will only play at power like a 23 April show. We have come to these days by working hard and keeping the struggle alive on every ground. Tomorrow, we must present ourselves to our nation with the same dynamism. Otherwise, our nation will not forgive us for condemning them to these opportunists as we did in the last local elections.
"IS THE MAIN OPPOSITION A CIRCUS TENT OR NOT?"
We will protect the women of Turkey against the forces of evil. Turkey's sworn enemies around the world are their biggest supporters. Their aim is to overthrow us. The opposition and the identity-less groups they walk with cannot get the support they expect from the nation for their petty calculations. They keep lowering the level each time. When they cannot measure up to us, they start to attack and insult public officials and the nation itself. They have turned institutions into the material for their shows. They are now struggling to hide their frustrations. They are so detached from reality that they will present their foot games as if they are a matter of Turkey. It is unclear whether the main opposition party in Turkey is a circus tent or not. Their leader is wandering around with a red card. The former leader is trying to enter the game by showing him a yellow card. The problem is that they do not know what a red card or a yellow card is for. The presidents, who are constantly losing altitude, are chasing an unknown candidacy. Decay has reached alarming levels, but if you ask them, they are doing effective opposition."
"NOW IS THE TIME TO SHIFT UP A GEAR"
We are among those who know very well when the elections will be held. We will not hesitate to make our own self-criticism when necessary. The important thing is not to stumble but to continue on our way strongly. We have passed the first stage; now is the time to shift up a gear.
