Felicity (Saadet) Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu held his regular weekly press conference at his party's headquarters. Karamollaoğlu made important evaluations on the agenda at the press conference.
A style that will not allow outside interference is essential
Reacting to the call for Osman Kavala's release by 10 ambassadors in the past days, Karamollaoğlu emphasized that he did not find what the ambassadors were doing right.
"It is essential that we use a style that will not allow foreign intervention in our country, with policies implemented in every field from law to economy, from education to health. Winking at the electorate over such crises is of no use to our country. Money symbolizes the dignity and independence of a country, like a flag or national anthem. The reputation of money is the reputation of the country. Unfortunately, in our country, the reputation of the country has been devastated along with the value of money. Erdogan said these in 2005. The Turkish lira became so weak that it almost lost value even against toy coins," he said.
"GOVERNMENT DOES NOT FEEL THE CITIZENS' STRESS"
Emphasizing that the government should ache against the state of the country, Karamollaoğlu stated that they thought that such a situation did not exist with the words spoken,
"We wonder if the hearts of these friends ache because of the situation they have brought the country into! When we look at their demeanor, it does not come to the conclusion that they carry such a mood. When you look at the expressions of these friends, everyone is satisfied, everyone has a car, everyone has a phone, it is understood that they have never felt the boredom of the citizens. The biggest problem stems from the lack of search for solutions. Unfortunately, they don't have that problem. This country has become a cheap market for foreigners, but those living in it cannot do the same shopping with their own earnings. Ahead of us is winter, but our people cannot buy a coat or boots for themselves and their children. Woe to us," he added.
"THE SALVATION AT SAADET PARTY"
Reminding the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's saying "interest is the cause, inflation is the result", Karamollaoğlu said, "AK Party is the reason, inflation is the result. AK Party reason; High inflation, high exchange rate, high debt are the result. The economy will not improve unless measures are taken against waste, corruption and bribery. We are determined to restore the dignity of our money, to get both our country and our people out of the debt quagmire, and to put an end to the pouring of our sweat on the money lenders. We are determined to direct our country's resources, which are wasted due to an economic understanding based on waste and debt, to production and employment. Our nation should know that the recipe for salvation lies in the policies of our Saadet Party. If you look at every period that we have been in administration in the past, you will see that the hope and solution is our Saadet Party."
