President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the iftar program where he met with police, gendarmerie, coast guard personnel, and security guards at the Beştepe National Exhibition Hall.

In his speech, Erdoğan delivered important messages and made significant statements regarding the process that gained momentum following the call of the terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan.

"WE ARE IN A MORE ADVANTAGEOUS POSITION"

Stating that "Today we are in a stronger, more determined, and more advantageous position to achieve the goal of a Terror-Free Turkey in all its dimensions," Erdoğan said, "Our aim is to establish a lasting security climate both inside and outside, where not a single security personnel or child of ours will be harmed."

"WE ARE CLOSER TO GETTING RID OF TERROR THAN EVER"

In his speech, Erdoğan said, "We are closer than ever to permanently and definitively getting rid of a plague that has exploited our nation's blood, life, and resources for 40 years. In these days when the genocide network declares its intentions to divide our region with new maps, we must determine our policy accordingly. As the descendants of Sultan Alp Arslan and Saladin, we will not allow the Zionists to carry out new operations in the region hand in hand, heart to heart."

"WE DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY TO WATCH EVENTS FROM THE STANDS"

Erdoğan also made the following statements: "Since global power competition is taking place in our region, we are directly affected by every development. We do not have the luxury to watch events from the stands. We must be prepared for every scenario and manage and direct the events in our region in a way that will be beneficial for our country. If Turkey is not experiencing vulnerability in terms of security despite all the betrayals and attacks it has faced, the reason for this is the far-sighted steps we took in time."

"133 THOUSAND SYRIANS HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR COUNTRY"

Since the revolution, 133 thousand Syrians have returned to their homeland voluntarily and honorably. The number of our brothers who have safely returned to Syria has reached 873 thousand.

FETÖ MESSAGE

(FETÖ) This organization was behind the betrayals from blocking national projects to political murders, from espionage to disrupting the fight against terrorism.

As we clean our police, army, and gendarmerie from illegal structures, especially FETÖ traitors, we have gained the opportunity to fight more effectively against terrorist organizations.
