MHP General Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made the first statement regarding the escalating street events that began with the detention of Ekrem İmamoğlu. Bahçeli, who also responded to rumors about his health status, used striking expressions.
FIRST STATEMENT FROM BAHÇELİ REGARDING STREET EVENTS
In his statement, Bahçeli said: "In our intellectual life, the late Ziya Gökalp, who shines like the Süheyl Star, once penned this sentence, which was carefully and accurately encompassed: 'A person whose thoughts do not correspond and rely on their feelings is spiritually ill.' It is essentially futile to expect those whose thoughts and words have irreparable damage to be spiritually healthy; it is a waste of effort and time.
“THEY LINED UP TO CUT OFF TURKEY'S PATH WITH THE SARAÇHANE PROVOCATION”
From the sick CHP that lined up to cut off Turkey's path with the Saraçhane provocation to other marginal parties and illegal leftist groups, they have all taken a position that rivals enemies with their aims, actions, and words. There is a bohemian and detached opposition understanding that has become estranged from its nation and state, which has lost touch with reality to the extent of calling vandalism a democracy vigil.
“THOSE WHO THROW STONES AT OUR POLICE HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH LAW OR FREEDOM”
In a period where the rising value and prestige of our country is visibly gaining speed and momentum, those who suddenly activated the Saraçhane conspiracy are collaborators who have fallen hostage to Turkish and Turkey enemies and serve falsehoods. Those who wear masks and throw stones at our police, hurl axes, attack with fireworks, and spray acid have no connection or relationship with democracy, law, or freedom.
“JUSTICE MUST BE SOUGHT FROM THOSE WHO URINATE ON THE MOSQUE WALL”
Those who say oppression began in 1453 are nothing but a handful of spy apparatus that polluted the Şehzadebaşı Mosque and its cemetery, as well as the ragtag and urban thugs. Justice must be sought from those who urinate on the mosque wall, those who present burning and destruction as democracy, and those who waste the municipal resources, which are the sweat and lawful labor of our nation, in the whirlpool of organized bribery, theft, and corruption. The insults directed at our esteemed and late President's mother show who took to the streets to hold the bridges. It is well known how the malicious intentions that produce slander and rumor campaigns regarding my treatment process aim to ignite street anarchy.
“WE WILL DEFEND THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY AT ALL COSTS”
We will defend the Republic of Turkey at all costs. The People's Alliance is capable of breaking the multi-dimensional provocation and destruction wave that the CHP has become a spy and reporter guide for. Because the great Turkish nation is with us. It is essential to hold accountable those who have taken to the streets as puppets of foreign intelligence organizations and those who disturb public order and peace. Turkey is not a toy; it will not fall for dark games.
On this Kadir Night, which is more virtuous than a thousand months, my prayer to Almighty Allah is that He does not withhold His mercy, compassion, and forgiveness from our nation, and that He preserves our national unity and our thousand-year brotherhood forever. With the hope of recognizing the value of our homeland, our flag, our independence, our survival, our sacred values, and many national and spiritual values; I congratulate our esteemed nation and the Turkish-Islamic world on this blessed and magnificent Kadir Night, which is heralded with prayers.
