President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made statements at the 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress of his party at Recep Kara Sports Hall in Ordu. In his speech, President Erdoğan, who devoted a significant part to Syria, made a striking statement.

ERDOĞAN: "A NEW SUN IS RISING IN SYRIA"

Erdoğan said, "History is being rewritten just beyond our southern borders. You see that CHP politicians do not even try to understand the events. What did Özgür Özel say to us? 'Go to Syria.' What happened? We did not step into Syria, but we have managed to address Syria in every aspect, and we have brought it to its current state. Right now, a new sun is rising in Syria."

"HE DISPLAYED THE MOST DESPICABLE FORM OF RACIST HATRED TOWARDS SYRIAN VICTIMS"

Erdoğan used the following expressions: "I have not heard a single sentence from them outside of the 'Middle East swamp' that reeks of Orientalism. I have not encountered any of their policies other than the question, 'What are we doing in Syria, Iraq, Libya?' Didn't they say, 'What are you doing in Syria, what are you doing in Libya?' Their former chairman occasionally scribbles something on social media to remind people of himself, but no one, including his own party, pays attention to it. He displayed the most despicable form of racist hatred towards Syrian victims before the elections on May 14-28, but he did not even utter a half-hearted sentence of regret. He has not had a single prediction come true, and now someone whose party's credibility is gone is giving advice to the new Syrian administration."

"THEY WIPED OUT ALL THE PROMISES THEY MADE"

In his speech targeting the opposition, Erdoğan said: "From retirees to housewives, from young people to farmers, they made a lot of promises by saying they would give five times more than what I would. In some places, they said, 'We will provide water for free.' In some places, they said, 'We will reduce transportation costs.' In some places, they said, 'We will not interfere with anyone's job or bread.' In other places, they said, 'We will not interfere with anyone's lifestyle, we will not exclude anyone,' but from the moment they sat in the chair, they wiped out all these promises with a thick sponge.

Those who say, 'Can water be bought with money?' have increased the price of water by a full 1000% in five years. The prices of all the services they said they would lower have increased by 5-6 times. They are plundering the municipalities they have turned into a family business of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. I won't even mention the corruption, theft, and looting schemes carried out through concerts and shady tenders here.

"BANKRUPTING SGK IS A CHP TRADITION"

Stating that the opposition has no work they can proudly show, Erdoğan continued: "This is the only project they have started from scratch and completed; they changed the faucet of the fountain in Sultanahmet. This is what they have done. There is no service, no work, no project, no investment, but you see that the debts to the Social Security Institution are increasing exponentially. It seems that bankrupting SGK is a CHP tradition. The only notable act of their former chairman was to bankrupt SSK.

God bless, the new chairman does not fall short of his predecessor in this regard. When we tell them this to their faces, their comfort is disturbed, and they immediately go on the attack. Once, anyone with intelligence, foresight, and morality will accept that in no part of the world is a state institution criticized, vilified, or targeted for pursuing its receivables. Demanding the payment of a debt is not a crime, it is not a fault, and it is certainly not a shameful attitude.
