Speaking at the 'Honorably Celebrating 57 Years' program held at ATO Congresium on the occasion of the 57th anniversary of the founding of his party, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made striking statements.
WORDS THAT LIFTED THE HALL
Bahçeli, who said, "Those who have left have left, those who have sold have sold, those who have turned have turned, the rotten gems have been sorted, even if the shell is gone, the essence is here," stated, "Believing hearts that consider their cause as honor are here, those who have passed through the ordeal are here, those who sing the March of the Grey Wolves of Asia from the heart are here. It is unfortunately clear that those who ask what we are have fallen into the claws of forgetfulness or denial. We are as Turkish as we were on the first day, we are Turanists, we are Turkish nationalists whose source is found in the ideal of Turkistan. We ask the political converts who question us here and there: So who are you? If you say liberal, you are not, if you say conservative, you are not, if you say democrat, you are still not; you are at best a complete political navigator," he expressed. While these words were applauded, those in the hall chanted slogans like "Don't stop, move forward, your children are with you."
