President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke at the Parliamentary group meeting. Erdogan, TUSIAD's statements,"They were adjusting to the power in the old Turkey, we called a halt to it. TUSIAD has crossed the line with its explanations,"he reacted with the words. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made important statements at the AK Party's group meeting.
"We have never blocked our ears to consistent and constructive criticism"
We are witnessing that very different accounts are being made inside. Before moving on to TUSIAD's statements, which are very excessive and reek of provocation, I would like to underline the explanations of the following fact. In democracies, no one is free from criticism. If it is consistent, constructive, well-intentioned, we have never and will not block our ears to criticism.
"We ensured that all kinds of ideas were discussed comfortably"
If we are talking about a phenomenon of Turkey speaking today, it is undoubtedly the AK Party and our governments that have made it possible. It is our powers that raise the standard of our democracy, put an end to repressions and lift bans. We have ensured that all kinds of ideas are discussed comfortably, as long as they do not praise terrorism and violence, do not contain insults, and do not invite guardianship initiatives. We did all this despite the obstacles of the CHP and the guardianship centers. Our nation is the closest witness of our hard struggle for the construction of a Turkey dominated not by prohibitions, but by freedoms. Therefore, those who run to the court to prevent the bans from being lifted cannot have anything to say to us about democracy and freedoms.
"We have no business with puppets, our interlocutors are puppeteers"
After the statements of the TUSIAD administration, we do not take into account the evil eye of the opposition figures who are lined up like servants on order. Those who behave more royally than the king are worth as much as their owners value them. We have no business with puppets. Our interlocutors are puppeteers. After drawing this basic framework, I believe that we can now talk about some truths more comfortably. The mentality of TUSIAD is a symbol of the periods when politics were weak and the state was under their control. This structure is a partnership with businessmen who have grown up and grown up in the shadow of the unfair profits obtained from the public purse and the backs of the nation, concessions obtained through distributorship instead of domestic, national production.
"The mentality of TUSIAD used to design politics as well"
We all remember what the mentality of TUSIAD corresponded to before 2002. They ruled only money in ancient Turkey. At the same time, they were designing politics as they wanted. They were controlling and directing decision-making bodies according to their interests. They were adjusting to the authorities through newspaper headlines. That's what we called a halt to.We have not recognized any power over the great will of the nation. "Turkey's development move has always disturbed the mentality of TUSIAD"
We have transformed the economy from an annuity economy to a production and export economy. By putting an end to the discriminatory structure in which the capital is divided into colors, we have enabled new actors to emerge from the bosom of Anatolia. We have used the resources of the nation not for the enrichment of a handful of self-sufficient bourgeoisie, but for the peace, prosperity, development and well-being of the nation with all its segments. During the period of our powers, the income per capita increased from $ 3600 to over $ 15 thousand this year. O TUSIAD, there is a process that has increased from 3600 to more than 15 thousand dollars. This happened during the period of AK Party power. Either you don't know the account or your account is broken. Our exports reached $262 billion in 2024 from $36 billion. We have spread many prosperity to the base that we cannot count here yet. Of course, we have encountered very serious resistance in this process. We have been subjected to below-the-waist strokes and operations of those whose interests we have touched, we have cut off the rant taps. TUSIAD was coming at the beginning of these. Turkey's development move in a real sense has always disturbed the mentality of TUSIAD. As a matter of fact, the base, fascistic and noble attitudes exhibited by this organization against our country and our nation on the side of the coup plotters, juntas, imperialists and their agents of influence are preserved in our memory records.
"The old mentality of TUSIAD is being tried to be put into circulation again"
We are aware that at a time when Turkey is working day and night for the Turkish Century, where it is expanding its political, military and social power in the region, leading the calls for the reconstruction of the global system in the world, which it arbitrates, implementing a stable program against inflation, taking important steps towards the goal of a terror-free Turkey, where it does not compromise on investment, production, employment and export targets, we are trying to put the old mentality of TUSIAD back into circulation. As I have always said, you will not succeed as we have done, if you want Turkey to surrender to the reverend who is affiliated with terrorist organizations and taunts right and left to cover up his shame, know that such a thing will never happen.
