In the opening ceremony of the 20th Term Education and Training Year of the Politics and Leadership School, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli answered questions from the press, commenting on his handshake with DEM Party deputies at the opening of the new legislative year and making striking evaluations regarding the Sinan Ateş case.

SINAN ATEŞ CASE

Expressing that they respect the judiciary's decision regarding the Sinan Ateş case, Bahçeli stated, "I would like to express that I condemn the perspectives that aim to question and discredit the MHP and the Ülkü Ocakları. They have behaved in ways that contribute to the questioning of the MHP. In every case, especially regarding Osman Kavala and others, those who claim justice have started to question the MHP with television and personnel during a court process that has not yet been clarified, which is unacceptable. Although they carry the identity of being nationalists, they have participated in these courts. It is a regrettable behavior," he said.

"I WON'T SHAKE HANDS WITH THOSE PEOPLE..."

Speaking about the images of shaking hands with DEM Party deputies in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), Bahçeli said, "As you know, the TBMM opened on October 1. There, in the last part of his speech, our President invited solidarity, peace, and intelligent work in the TBMM. After such an invitation, it is a duty to take steps according to the call of the person who serves as the President of the Republic, representing the People's Alliance and the Turkish nation, as the General Chairman of the MHP. If the MHP does not take a step, it does not have the right to expect something from others. Not shaking hands with those whose ideas I do not accept is an expression of being a unifying, Turkey party.

"THERE IS NO NEED TO CREATE TENSION"

I was pleased to see this approach at the reception of the Assembly. Steps are being taken to maintain a smiling face. It is not right to confine the MHP within politically sterile understandings. The MHP must be understood well, and the steps it takes must be thought through carefully. There is no need to create tension. I also condemn the People's Party, which contributes to these discussions, and their television channels. They should not disturb the peace. They should not contribute to the fire. The MHP is not in favor of social violence.

"I RESPECT ALL POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS"

Scientists working on the causes, consequences, and measures of social violence have come together. It is not right to ignore these and provoke peace by citing certain events as reasons. Those who do this to force the election will not be able to achieve a favorable election result. There is a benefit in acting within an effort that can solve Turkey's issues rather than focusing solely on the election. I also respect all political institutions."
