AK Party Deputy Chairman Efkan Ala made important evaluations regarding the agenda on NTV. Indicating the end of April, Ala stated that they hope to see a step regarding the 'Terror-Free Turkey' process, saying, "There is no situation that would allow for debate. The terrorist organization says all its elements. Therefore, it is a very clear and straightforward call for all its elements to lay down their arms, surrender their weapons, and dissolve themselves. It is a clear call."
Here are the highlights from Efkan Ala's statements:
"President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has shown will regarding the resolution of the problem. We are addressing the issues with a cautious tone. The Terror-Free Turkey process is continuing as we envisioned. There is no disruption or pause. I believe we are moving forward with firm steps towards achieving results.
"A TIMELINE SHOULD EMERGE SOON"
The next step after this stage we have reached is for the terrorist organization to hold its congress and dissolve itself. I believe this will happen in a short time, not a long term. A timeline should emerge soon. As it prolongs, the likelihood of provocations increases. We hope to see an important step by the end of April.
There is no situation that would allow for debate. The terrorist organization says all its elements. Therefore, it is a very clear and straightforward call for all its elements to lay down their arms, surrender their weapons, and dissolve themselves. It is a clear call.
"THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM WILL CONTINUE"
The fight against terrorism has been carried out, is being carried out, and will continue as long as there is terrorism. The fight against terrorism will continue. This is very clear and straightforward. The construction of state capacity cannot be considered based on the existence or absence of terrorist organizations. We live in a region where there have been very significant problems and also very significant opportunities for solutions. There are constant issues in the Middle East, the Balkans, and the Caucasus.
"THE PROCESS IS BEING CARRIED OUT AS NECESSARY"
Those who make criticisms do so out of a lack of information. These issues cannot be resolved by constantly discussing them in public. The approval of the public is obtained, their consent is obtained, but negotiations and the measures to be taken progress in their own course, and the results are shared with the public. The state has matters that need to be conducted in secrecy. In this regard, we, both as the AK Party governments and as the Republic of Turkey, have sufficient experience. There is no room for doubt; the process is being carried out as necessary.
THE ARREST OF EKREM İMAMOĞLU
There is not a single major investment or project that we can count. This is another issue, but here a public prosecutor's office is conducting an investigation. The name of this needs to be correctly identified. This is called a corruption investigation. All the sensationalism is an effort to conceal that this is a corruption investigation. This will not yield results. What is important here is that the budgets entrusted by the nation are used for the service of the nation.
"THEY MADE MISTAKES ONE AFTER ANOTHER"
The CHP Chairman is calling for a boycott, urging the public to take to the streets. If there is a struggle for democratic rights, then you would understand, but there is a corruption investigation at hand. When is the call for a boycott made? They made incredible mistakes one after another. There are measures that Turkey needs to take during a period of trade wars. The leader of the main opposition party is not presenting alternative policies.
ÖZGÜR ÖZEL'S "JUNTA" REMARKS
You are complaining about Turkey to the world, making open calls to undermine its economy, and it is not enough; you turn around and request help from abroad to save your own party's situation. They made requests for assistance to help their own situation. The main opposition party cannot act like an activist.
He says junta... To whom is he saying this; to a party that has been in power for 22 years, fighting against coups and memorandums, burying each of them in the ballot box, and has signed Turkey's EU negotiations and made so many reforms. There is no serious side to this.
CHP'S CALL FOR EARLY ELECTIONS
The election just happened. There is more than three years until the presidential elections. This is not a push for early elections; it is a strategy to escape from their own problems. They have not even been able to decide among themselves who the party leader is."
