We are mobilizing all the means of our state for our citizens, and we are doing this together with our nation, with the spirit of national unity and solidarity, with the zealous support of our non-governmental organizations.
Now, even though these malicious people, these people who do nothing but create a pessimistic mood at the computer, constantly ignore all our common achievements, our beloved nation already knows very well who is working tirelessly for themselves, who is sweating day and night for their country. Our nation already knows very well that under the leadership of our Honorable President, our country is taking firm steps towards becoming a global power, and that it has not allowed any sneaky and dirty attacks, secretly and openly, from inside and outside, without letting any of it pass. Today, the power that brought giant city hospitals equipped with the latest technology, UAVs, SİHAs, warplanes, TOGGs, satellites, Black Sea natural gas, TCG Anadolu, Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant and many other centuries-old works to our country, Under the leadership of our President, the AK Party has been in power. Our nation, with the wisdom and faith it has, will once again take its stand on the side of stability, a fully independent, strong and great Turkey, and will definitely leave its mark on the Century of Turkey,” he said.
