Felicity (Saadet) Party President Temel Karamollaoğlu at the weekly press conference of his party, stressed that Turkey's production-oriented investments forgot, "We are import-based industries. that Turkey's biggest problem. National income was destroyed. No one talks about national income. You cannot fix the economy with continuous perception operations. Turkey's economy faced with a moratorium," he said.
IMF POLICIES CONTINUE
Commenting on the developments in the economy, Karamollaoğlu said, "The economy is crawling on the ground. The economy is not just creeping around because of the coronavirus. It is crawling on the ground due to the policies the government has made until today. In the post-2002 election, after the crisis, these friends took office and insistently followed the policies of Derviş and the IMF. You will go out and say that we saved the country from these, now we will lend money to the IMF, and then you will continue with the IMF policies. The government has no right to this", he said.
WHAT WAS THE NATIONAL INCOME, WHAT HAPPENED?
National income per capita in Turkey, where there were 9,039 dollars in 2009, the global financial crisis. National income, which was 9 thousand 632 dollars in 2018, decreased to 9 thousand 127 dollars in 2019. In the 10-year period from 2009 to 2019, national income neither increased nor shortened!
Evaluating the coronavirus process, Karamollaoğlu warned that citizens should comply with the mask and social distance rules, and stated that the rules should be observed.
Karamollaoğlu said, "The hospitals are full. We cannot pass without thanking the healthcare staff. Because they work very devotedly. May Allah have mercy on those who passed away. The state should reward our healthcare professionals. If it is respected, effort will increase".
THE GOVERNMENT IS AMAZED ABOUT THE OPENING OF SCHOOLS
Referring to the debate whether schools will be opened or not, Karamollaoğlu said, "The Ministry of National Education does not sound at the point of opening schools. If private schools are not opened, some problems will occur. It will also occur because public schools are opened. Because it will be very inconvenient to study with large students in a classroom like the old one. When you inevitably divide the class size, the capacity will not be enough. But we see that the government is confused and silent at this point. It is not clear what will happen. Will it be opened or will there be distance education? How will students go with school, these are all serious matters. At this point, we want the government to add urgency to the issue," he said.
THEY CANNOT DEAL THE SUBJECTS
Karamollaoğlu said following a wrong policy, in foreign policy, said that Turkey in many fields alone. Referring to the developments in Libya, Karamollaoğlu said, "We were saying that we were with the Libyan government. We brought together countries such as France, Germany, USA and China that are in conflict with each other. What a clumsiness is this. We are facing Russia and the USA. They are in front of us altogether. That is why the government must address this issue entirely. They are tired, they cannot consider the issues. They cannot see the facts and are confused. The power that is due will surely go away. "We saw many different signs of this."
PLAYING WITH NUMBERS DOES NOT FIX THE ECONOMY
Referring to the criticism about TURKSTAT, Karamollaoğlu said, "They dismiss the men who explained the numbers correctly in the TURKSTAT, and they appointed the men who gave the numbers they wanted. They are not aware of their mistakes and heedlessness. Playing with men and numbers will not benefit anyone, it will come at a very high price. It also causes great harm to the country. History does not forget that. The truth will surely come out tomorrow. It occurs for 25 years. Your children will experience the shame of this. That is why I invite the government to be serious".
