AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik: FETÖ Leader Identified as Architect of Betrayal Network
During a meeting of the AK Party Central Decision and Executive Board under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik addressed the press, emphasizing that the leader of the terrorist organization Fethullah Gülen had died stateless. Çelik also announced that the fight against FETÖ would continue with determination.
Key Points from AK Party Deputy Chairman and Spokesperson Ömer Çelik’s speech:
DEATH OF FETÖ LEADER GÜLEN:
“DIED AS A STATELESS INDIVIDUAL”
He was a traitor to Islam, humanity, and our nation. Today, he died stateless. His atrocities have placed him alongside Netanyahu in infamy.
It is evident that he acted as a subcontractor to steal national sovereignty and harm our army. Gülen committed great treachery and murder with his betrayal network and the entities he served. With all his treachery and crimes, he has left this world. We will fight resolutely against all physical elements of FETÖ. We will also combat this mentality with the same force. He was a person who acted as a proxy for imperialist powers.
We have seen who supported them after July 15th. The life of this evil person who exploited national values has come to an end in this way.
We congratulate Daron Acemoğlu for winning the Nobel Prize. I would like to point out that the topics in his books are intellectually fruitful.
Budget work will begin tomorrow.
“NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT’S MASSACRES HAVE SURPASSED THE NAZIS”
The issues in Palestine and Lebanon are on our agenda. With the martyrdom of Simvar, it is evident that the Netanyahu government’s massacres continue. Their crimes and genocide have surpassed those of the Nazis. A Jewish-Canadian academic of Jewish descent explains Israel’s genocide very well, stating that what the Nazis did in concentration camps is the same as what Israel is doing. Efforts to liken Lebanon to Gaza continue.
The real problem lies with those who support and supply arms to them. The German Foreign Minister made unfortunate statements. The statement made on behalf of the UN mentions a new attack. Netanyahu continues to target everything related to humanity. Those who support this with weapons will eventually be held accountable. Ultimately, this gang of genocide will be tried in a court of humanity and receive the punishment they deserve.
“TODAY, HUMAN VALUES ARE AT ODDS WITH ZIONISM”
None of the support given to Zionism benefits those who do so. Today, human values are at odds with Zionism. Everyone will either stand for humanity or stand with this ideology.
The Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia were received by our President. It is clear that Turkey plays a key role in peace in the Caucasus.
We are closely monitoring all efforts against the gang that kills newborn babies. Our ministries are coordinating. Strong efforts are being made to completely dismantle this gang and any similar ones. We will continue to work diligently to eradicate the gang entirely and ensure they receive the harshest penalties. Our President is closely following this issue.
There were reports about a French company supporting the PKK. French intelligence indicated that they were doing so. The process of holding accountable those who support or fuel conflicts is ongoing. There will be more to come. This is a concrete example of someone doing business through terrorist organizations.
Our President will visit Kazan, Russia on Wednesday.
Disciplinary action has been taken against our colleagues who attended the opening in Rize.
These allegations are being thoroughly investigated. Some citizens have raised concerns. All of them are being investigated. The brutality revealed in the dialogues of those who kill newborns is a rare example of brutality that we rarely encounter in our lives. We will investigate whether anyone has been involved in these acts, whether the allegations are true. There are suspicions that hospitals may close and reopen under a different name in the future; we will not allow this. It is essential to avoid casting doubt on healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly during the pandemic and at other times. We take these issues seriously.
Dialogues that have kept us awake for days have emerged. We are following up on every tip and evaluation. If something emerges, we will share it.
We are receiving proposals from the opposition, suggesting how to act. We are looking into everything that has been proposed. We will establish new mechanisms to deal with gangs that have established death networks. The public’s outrage is justified. We will be relentless in our fight against them. We will show the highest level of determination. We will consider all proposals to prevent these incidents from recurring.
We have a strong principle regarding Iraq’s territorial integrity. We have seen some progress in the emerging picture. We have seen that our views on combating terrorism are converging. There is close cooperation with Northern Iraq. It is a mistake for the KDP to move in the wrong direction. They should not stand alongside those who are against Turkey or have relations with them. It was a timely and productive visit.
THERE IS NO QUESTION OF COMPROMISING LEGITIMACY
Maintaining a strong internal front in Turkey should be a responsibility for everyone living in Turkey. There is no question of compromising legitimacy. This is an invitation for them to distance themselves from terrorism and become a party of Turkey. Political participation avenues are open in Turkey. The concept of an internal front is an invitation to act more correctly around Turkey’s fundamental values, to better protect Turkey’s democracy and Republic achievements. Mr. Bahçeli distorted the words about the terrorist leader into something else, dragging the Good Party leader into it.
WE KNOW WHO MENTIONED ERECTING THE TERRORIST LEADER’S STATUE
They are calling on the government to respect the rule of law. They need to first say what they think about the terrorist organization. We know who mentioned erecting the terrorist leader’s statue. The rule of law is based on excluding terrorism. What matters is what is said about this.
There was an approach of “we will continue like this” afterwards. This is contrary to our principle of a single nation. We do not accept the notion of second-class citizens. When making regulations to address these inequalities, the most severe block we faced in the Parliament was the CHP. They were active in inciting military tutelage. When it came to the headscarf issue, the CHP was the biggest supporter. We solved the problem, and years later, Kılıçdaroğlu said we would bring this issue up and solve it. While solving this, the CHP was against us. We have eliminated these discriminations, and after the matter had passed, Özgür Özel brought it up again.
NETANYAHU’S THREATS
As you know, as soon as events unfold without discussing security issues, he said the region’s maps will change. He said we will implement the David corridor. The Foreign Minister said we want to establish Greater Israel. When they talk about Greater Israel, it also means encroaching on part of Turkey’s territory. While these are clearly stated, the only opposition in Turkey says, “Israel is not a threat to us.”
