Referring to the Central Bank's raising its year-end inflation forecast from 22 percent to 58 percent, Karamollaoğlu noted that the current economy management could not offer a practical solution to the economic crisis.
 
"These explanations say, prepare yourself for worse economic conditions than today. There is no problem of resolving the grievance of the retired pensioner who is a victim here. They say we cannot do this, because inflation will rise even higher. You will be determined to put the whole burden on the back of the person who cannot get along, then you will say that there is no solution. What do you mean there is no solution? There is the solution, but it won't work if you just try to put it on the back of the poor," Karamollaoglu said.
 
Evaluating President Erdogan's call for savings, Karamollaoğlu said, "Mr. Erdogan urges citizens to save money. Our number one demand was savings. Today, unfortunately, there is a tremendous waste of money in the state, especially in the Presidency. They're talking about a million luxury rental cars. Who drives these cars? Not only a minister, a government official, but also their wives and children are using it. With such a logic, you cannot solve the problems of this country."
 

"WE WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE GROUPS IN THE ASSEMBLY"

 
Temel Karamollaoğlu, who started with the evaluation of Saadet Party Group, which was established jointly with Gelecek Party in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), stated that the Milli Görüş politics entered a new era.
 
"Indeed, we were not in power for a long time and we could not be represented in the Parliament. We had one proxy last year. We took a serious risk by not entering with our own emblem in these general elections. Some of our friends also criticize this situation. True, this was a very big and serious step. While taking risks, our thinking was locked in two points. First, we will change the current system, and in order to change the system, we had to win both the presidency and the majority in the parliament. Secondly, we have taken these steps so that we will be partners in power and have a say in actions. But we were not successful. However, we are in the parliament after 20 years, and as a result of a good work, we have achieved the success of forming a group in the Parliament by bringing together the deputies of Saadet Party and Gelecek Party. This is a very important step because our voice will be heard in the parliament from now on. We will be able to hear our voices on every issue and convey our ideas to the public. I can say that our group will be effective in the parliament because we will be insistent in the parliament on many issues that we truly believe are beneficial for this country. Especially in economy and foreign policy," Karamollaoğlu added.
 

“WHEN THERE ARE SO SERIOUS PROBLEMS, I DO NOT CONSIDER POSITIVELY TAKING HOLIDAY OF THE ASSEMBLY”

 
Underlining that all deputies who adopt the principles of Saadet Party can join the group, Karamollaoğlu said following words:
 
"Saadet Party participated in full. 20 of our deputies were there. They conduct a disciplined work. Of course, when the Assembly goes on recess, we invite it to an extraordinary meeting. Some of the deputies can also get into the mood that the majority in the parliament is in the ruling party and what would happen if we went. However, in such a troubled period, there are serious problems not only in the economy but also in foreign policy. I don't think it's positive that the air blows, let's have a holiday while everyone is in trouble."
 

“WE WILL ENTER THE LOCAL ELECTIONS WITH THE EMBLEM OF OUR PARTY”

 
Speaking about the strategy that his party will carry out regarding the upcoming local elections, Karamollaoğlu said, "Our number one goal is to enter the elections with our own emblem in all provinces, districts and towns of Turkey. This is Saadet – Gelecek alliance at the same time. We will determine our candidates for mayorships, city council members and provincial council and I hope we will get a good result. Can there be elbow contact in some places, this may occur under the conditions of that day. We have had difficulties since we did not enter the general election with our own emblem, but now we have to roll up our sleeves and scan Anatolia from beginning to end and warn our people. Our hope is that our citizens, as the Saadet Party, will see our ideals as the solution to their problems."
 

"GULF COUNTRIES WILL RECEIVE RETURN FOR THE MONEY THEY GIVE"

 
Commenting on his visit to the Gulf, Karamollaoğlu stated that the government's foreign policy moves were faltering. Emphasizing that the Gulf visit was made to find money, Karamollaoğlu said, "In order to find the money, Mr. President went on trips to Arab countries. The UAE is trying to obtain loans from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. But it is clear that it is so big that they can afford this job from there. Because now everyone thinks about the interests of their own country. That's why they don't give up without getting their money's worth. Türkiye should never leave its dominance at strategic points to the initiative of others."
 
Karamollaoğlu stated that the reason why the potential of the D-8 project was not implemented was the Greater Middle East Project (BOP), and underlined that the USA and Israel blocked it.
