ERDOĞAN: STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP CAN NOT BE SACRIFICED FOR AN AMBASSADOR
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with the governor of 81 provinces in the Presidential Kulliya. President Erdogan, especially in statements about the visa crisis with America, said that America's strategic partner, like Turkey, could not be accepted as a self-sacrificing ambassador. President Erdogan said that Turkey is experiencing one of the most critical processes of its history in terms of its thousand-year existence and retention in this geography. "We are right in the middle of the time we gave the second Independence War for our future. Turkey is trying to be surrounded from inside and outside. Our country is just like a lion with claws dismantled, to be trampled under the yoke," he said.
THERE ATTACKS ON OUR STATE'S HONOUR
Underlining that a multi-faceted, multi-actor dirty plan was implemented to prevent the rise of Turkey, Erdogan said, "There are PKK, FETO, DEAŞ, DHKP-C, and bloody gangs as extras in this bloody game. In this scenario, there are assassinations of reputation against our state. In this game, international law is neglected, diplomatic practices are taken under the feet. The recent visa tensions between America and Turkey are the best expression of this. I am speaking very openly, an ambassador in this area that has created this phenomenon. It is unacceptable for America to sacrifice a strategic partner like Turkey to a selfless ambassador. It is not possible for us to say 'yes'. We started in 2 hours, " he said.
"WE WILL NOT USE ZIGZAWER"
Erdogan said, "They come to us with legions of people who have been fed under different identities for years with their pawns with all their vehicles." Erdogan said, "It is the same goal that some of the terrorists who have been patronized by European countries have hidden themselves. Could there be a reasonable, logical, consistent explanation of the free transfer of weapons we can not get with the terrorist organizations? After that no longer a weapon called Zigzaver will be used by the Police, should not use. We will take these steps by using the weapons of our own country. As long as we keep buying them, laziness comes to us. The goal of this dirty plan, which is phased in a planned and programmed phase, is the plans to kneel the Turkish nation. The issue here is not parties or parties. It is our target country, it is all Turkey," he said.
