This is Emre.

Every corner of Türkiye stands out with its natural beauties and unique geographical features.

Recently in Türkiye, a large part of society has to follow politics because they do not trust the government.

A society that has lost its trust in the government begins to closely follow politics because it does not find the government's steps right and thinks it will make new mistakes. This is a completely human behavior. You closely follow even a person you do not trust because you think they will do something wrong against you.

Society is experiencing a major loss of trust in the government. The government's corruption, injustice, and attempts to eliminate politicians through the judiciary. All of these are lowering the government's value in the eyes of society a little more each day, and this distrust will cause the government to lose the next election.

The detention and subsequent arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu created great anger among society against the government, and society had difficulty controlling this anger. After this, the government carried out operations against municipalities won by the main opposition party and unlawfully imprisoned a large portion of the mayors. These actions caused the public anger against the current government to increase even further.

We saw the result of this in the local elections. Because society harbored anger against the current government, it gave the administration of the vast majority of cities to the main opposition party, but the current government did not learn a lesson from this election.

Türkiye is rapidly heading toward a general election, and this election will be quite challenging for the current government.

It is worth reminding once again; everyone pays the price for what they have done one day.

Starting from July 15, 2016, a great period of purge took place in the Turkish Armed Forces in Türkiye.

This purge generally targeted Turkish officers, and these people were openly expelled from the army. They were not only expelled but also branded as members of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) and thrown into prisons. Since that date, thousands of honorable Turkish officers lying in prison are waiting for the day they will regain their freedom. Not only soldiers, but also police officers, prosecutors, judges, teachers, and people from many other professions we do not even know of...

The AKP government removed Türkiye's honorable officers from the army one by one and restricted their freedoms in prison. Who is to say that these people, who have been imprisoned for years through injustices, will not hold the current government accountable once they regain their freedom one day. Since the government already knows that it would experience disaster in such a scenario, it is doing every dirty deed it can today in order not to lose power and continues to increase them with each passing day.

Those who paraded almost all officers before the eyes of the media and presented them to society as traitors on July 15, 2016, will one day face this reality. Because there is no fair trial, both the guilty and the innocent are being held together in prison. Whereas, if there were a fair trial, I believe that almost all of these officers would leave prison and regain their freedom. If there are those who committed crimes, let them be tried fairly and receive punishment, but those who are innocent will surely one day regain their freedom. The founding values of the Republic of Türkiye have always taught us to be just and transparent, and we grew up with this culture. At the point we have reached today, we are witnessing that the government disregards the founding values of the Republic and even tries to destroy these values.

US Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack, in a speech, referred to Türkiye being governed by a monarchy like Middle Eastern countries. Because the Republic has always posed a threat to them. After this unfortunate statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Türkiye made no condemnation on this matter and did not warn Barrack. This unfortunate speech shows that the government is doing its part as part of an existing plan.

However, one day when justice is reestablished in Türkiye and order is restored, these people will certainly be prosecuted. Everyone, from the very top of the hill to the very bottom, will certainly pay this penalty. No matter which country in the world they flee to, this responsibility will never leave them alone.

One day, everyone pays the price for what they have done.

Unfortunately, a major social collapse is taking place in Türkiye. Because of the current government's unqualified cadres and its appointed, uneducated, and inexperienced bureaucrats, the country has fallen into a dead end.

The AKP's story of collapse

Corruption and moral collapse

When President Erdoğan took the podium at the opening of Parliament, Özgür Özel and the NEW Party MPs left the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye. Erdoğan waited for the NEW Party members to leave the hall before speaking. Leaving the hall, Özel told journalists, 'We don't have time to waste listening to someone who attacks the CHP to change the agenda.'

New Party Chairman Özgür Özel and its MPs left the hall as President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took the podium. Erdoğan waited for the New Party MPs to leave the hall before speaking.

We don't have time to listen to Erdoğan

In a statement to journalists after leaving the hall, Özel said, "We don't have time to waste listening to someone who changes his party's leadership and replaces it with an appointment that suits him, someone who imprisons our presidential candidate, someone who just this morning carried out an operation against the innocent Mersin Mayor in order to win the Union of Turkish Municipalities elections, someone who tries to march on the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality every day by threatening and poaching district municipal council members, someone who has allowed the poor to be plundered through a fund crisis and remained silent about it, and who once again attacks the CHP to change the agenda."

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk addressed [the people] as follows...

The highlights of Erdoğan's speech from the Parliament podium were as follows:

First and foremost, I commemorate with mercy the 115 members, above all, who, 106 years ago, after the Friday prayer performed at the Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque, proclaimed the will of our nation to the world from Ankara the heart of independence with prayers, takbirs, and the resolve and passion for independence, along with all our deputies who have served our nation worthily under this exalted roof until today and have passed away.

Once again, here, I ask mercy from the Almighty for all our martyrs who, for a thousand years in this geography, sacrificed their lives without blinking an eye for the survival of our nation, and for those among our veterans who have passed away. Right at the beginning of my words, I want to express with all my heart this truth: The only parliament in the world that has been honored with the title of 'gazi' twice is the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye. This assembly successfully led and directed the national struggle against the invaders who attempted to put shackles on the feet and a rope around the neck of our nation.

Look, the minutes of our Grand National Assembly of Türkiye between 1920 and 1923 are the most vivid witnesses of how Türkiye was made a homeland for the second time. The following words that Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk uttered in 1921 at the opening of the second legislative year of the Grand National Assembly are a clear expression of the love of freedom that is in the very cells of our nation and of the historic mission of our parliament. In those painful days when the Turkish nation was squeezed between independence and annihilation, Gazi Mustafa Kemal, in his capacity as Speaker of the Assembly, addressed [the people] as follows.

Esteemed colleagues, let us once again recall the distances we have covered from the Armistice days, when the entire nation looked death in the eye, to this day, and the countless difficulties we have overcome. Since times whose beginning is unknown.

Our nation, which lives with the honor of independence, seemed to be heading toward the worst of ends through death, yet the voice of our ancestors, who called their children to rise up against enslavement, rose in our hearts and invited us to the final war of liberation. The days of despair and faint-heartedness are now far behind. While Your Exalted Assembly enters its second legislative year having shown the country the path to liberation, the true path, and having gathered the entire nation under its banner of independence I pray that the lights beginning to dawn on our horizon may be auspicious for a good morning in this unfortunate homeland of ours, which has seen so many disasters. Ninety-five years after this speech, which was frequently interrupted by applause, our Exalted Assembly once again fulfilled its duty of leading the nation. On the night of July 15, our Gazi Assembly, which defended the nation's trust under bombs, together with our nation that resisted the coup in squares, streets, and airports, passed that heavy test with a clean record.

On this occasion, I thank all our deputies who protected the nation's trust that night, and I say, may my Lord never again oblige this assembly to wage the same struggle. I specifically express the satisfaction I feel at addressing you in the General Assembly hall of the Gazi Assembly, whose past is so glorious and whose duty is so sublime.
