President Erdoğan's 'Türkiye Without Terrorism' Manifesto: The Door to the Turkish Century Has Been Opened

AYŞEGÜL KAHVECİOĞLU/ANKARA- President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan briefly said the following:

OUR MARTYRS ARE ALWAYS OUR CELEBRATION: We have lost nearly 10,000 security personnel in the fight against terrorism. Nearly 50,000 of our citizens have lost their lives in terrorist attacks. We have not forgotten them, and we will not. Our martyrs, who watered our homeland with their blood and stained our crescent-star flag with their blood, will always be our crowning glory.

WHITE TOROSLAR: After the first attack in 1984, terrorism has unfortunately escalated daily in Turkey. Certain state misconduct has also played a role in this. The White Toroslar, unsolved murders, Diyarbakır Prison, villages burned down, people forced to flee overnight, and mothers unable to speak Kurdish with their children in prison were all examples of these misconducts. We have all paid the price for these mistakes.

TODAY IS A NEW DAY: The organization held a ceremony and laid down its weapons. As of yesterday, the 47-year scourge of terrorism has, God willing, entered the process of ending. Turkey has begun to close a long, painful, and tear-filled chapter. Today is a new day. A new page has opened in history. The doors of the Turkish Century have been flung wide open.

NO GIVE-AND-GIVE PROCESS: The Terror-Free Turkey project is not the result of negotiations or a give-and-take process. We will not allow the honor and pride of the Republic of Turkey to be violated. We will never allow Turkey to bow its head.

TERROR WILL END, EVERYONE WILL BE EMPLOYED: Those who appear to be against terrorism have profited from terrorist acts just as much as those who support it. The fact that terrorism is ending bothers them the most. Because their profiteering opportunities are closing, and they're losing their game. Whatever they do, terrorism will end, and you'll see, everyone will be unemployed.

'WE PUT OUR LIVES ON THE GO WITH BAHÇELİ'

WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING: Together with Mr. Bahçeli and his staff, we have sacrificed our lives, our blood, all our experience, and our entire lives for a terror-free Turkey. We have never been, and will never be, involved in anything that is not in the best interest of Turkey. We know exactly what we're doing.

'THE WALL OF TERROR IS COLLAPSING'

TURKEY WON: Turkey won, my nation won. Every single one of our 86 million citizens—Turks, Kurds, Arabs—won. The 41-year period is coming to an end. The wall of terror erected between the members of our nation is crumbling. Far from being alarmed, every single member of our beloved nation should be happy and celebrating this situation. Every street, avenue, and household in Turkey should be adorned with our crescent-and-star flag.

NO ONE HAS THE POWER TO DIVIDE: Terrorism's ultimate goal was not to divide Turkey. No one has the power to divide Turkey. Who has won in 41 years? The terror barons, the terror sector, those who feed on blood have won. Those with dirty designs on Turks, Kurds, and Arabs have won. Today, we are disrupting and overturning this dirty scheme, this movement of discord.

THE DAWN OF A STRONG TURKEY IS BEGINNING: The spirit of Manzikert, the Jerusalem Alliance, the core of the War of Independence is being reshaped. The dawn of a great and powerful Turkey is breaking. We will not use weapons or violence, but we will talk face to face, heart to heart, and with integrity, removing the barrier of terror for the sake of brotherhood. We will solve all our problems through conversation.

'WE WILL DO WHAT IS NECESSARY'

WE WILL DISCUSS LEGAL NEEDS: As a first step, we will establish a commission in the Turkish Grand National Assembly and begin discussing the legal requirements of the process within the parliamentary framework. As the People's Alliance, we will work with the AK Party, MHP, and DEM delegations to carry this process forward.

WE'VE DECIDED TO WALK AS A TRIAD: AK Party, MHP, DEM—we've decided to walk this path together, at least as a triad. There's no need to clench our fists anymore. We'll shake hands, embrace, talk, and walk in step with each other.

WE WILL NOT HURT ANYONE: We provide every convenience to those who take a step. We open the door wide to those who seek a way out. But the waters don't flow beyond. And if they do, we'll do what's necessary.
