President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the "Gendarmerie and Coast Guard Academy Graduation Ceremony" in Ankara. Erdoğan stated that their fight against street gangs, criminal organizations, and drug traffickers will continue until the end.
ERDOĞAN: WE WILL CONTINUE OUR FIGHT AGAINST GANGS AND CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIONS President Erdoğan used the following expressions: "Fame is temporary, honor is permanent. Authority is temporary, reputation is permanent. Position is temporary, legacy is permanent. Your duty is to leave a mark. To leave a mark in goodness, justice, mercy, and in serving the state and the nation. I sincerely believe that each of you will carry out your duties with this awareness. The culture of this institution is genuine self-confidence, unwavering discipline, and calm courage. I want each of my friends here to hold on tightly to these values throughout their professional lives.
As a government, we will continue to provide the necessary means to fulfill your duties in the best way possible. We will resolutely continue our fight against street gangs, criminal organizations, and drug traffickers within the framework of the law. We will rise against anyone who sees themselves above the law and the fundamental values that sustain society. Those who threaten the peace of Turkey will face the steel will of our Turkish security forces.
"WE ARE A NATION WITH STRONG ROOTS, TRUNK, AND BRANCHES" We are a nation with strong roots, trunk, and branches. Inshallah, we will continue to live freely in our homeland for many more centuries. We will adorn our thousand-year existence on this land with many more victories and epics, leaving a great and powerful Turkey for future generations. Today, the atrocities happening in our heartland, especially in Gaza, break all of our hearts. The images of innocent children whose bellies are stuck to their backs from hunger pierce the hearts of all living beings with a heart.
"THE ACCOUNT OF OUR PALESTINIAN BROTHERS WILL BE ASKED IN DUE TIME" We are saddened and grieved by the genocide of a helpless people. It certainly saddens us that the Zionist murder network can continue its massacres like this. The oppressors who see themselves in a distorted mirror will inevitably lose and be disgraced. There is no doubt that those who shed the blood of the innocent will also drown in that blood. Almighty Allah may leave the account of the oppressors for tomorrow, but He will not leave it with them. The account of our Palestinian brothers, who are targets of treacherous bullets and bombs in front of cameras every day, will be asked in due time.
