Today, the Felicity (Saadet) Party has a great congress. The main theme in the congress designated as 'Future will come with Felicity'. This theme emphasizes an understanding that knows the past, strives to struggle today and aims to carry itself to the future while being nurtured from tradition.
As it is known, this year is also the 50th anniversary of the National Vision movement. This makes the meeting even more meaningful today. Given the difficult stages of the political struggle of half a century, the Felicity Party, whose specific gravity is accepted by everyone today, aims to show clues that it will be more effective in the near future. In spite of all difficulties, the party's vote in the last local elections was also important. Although not expected by the party, the importance of 3 percent of the vote, especially with the Presidential Government System, became more prominent. The Felicity Party did what was actually difficult in this process. In other words, without resorting to the easy in an environment in which the language of politics became more rigid and especially supported by the campification, the truths it believed in tried to transfer it to the society. It tried to put forward whatever it thought was good for this country. It is obvious that this is a significant success. Where do we understand this? Because the power of the Felicity Party's promise is accepted by a significant majority of society, whether or not they vote. Of course, every discourse that is tried to be expressed for the sake of this country and this nation is valuable, albeit incomplete. However, the approach of the Felicity Party is particularly curious and criticized by everyone.
What emphasis did the Saadet Party put forward in the process? First of all, the Felicity Party tried to preserve the institutional rational and the main truths that did not change in the state according to the rhetoric of principles.
The Felicity Party said justice. The weakening of trust in justice in society has made this emphasis even more understandable. Because today, the deficiencies in the justice mechanism have started to affect life not only in social life but in many dimensions from economy to other areas.
Emphasis on driving license and merit is another important topic. The increasing number of instances of nepotism, especially in the appointments made at the state levels, brought with it the weakness of the society's trust in politics. Corruption is inevitable if the relationship of intimacy is not decisive in a society. With this emphasis, the Felicity Party tried to ensure the withdrawal of society to a reasonable point.
The Felicity Party said transparency. It emphasized balance and control. Corruption and irregularities can be eliminated only in this way, it said. Today, many studies show that our people complain a lot about corruption. Everyone will agree that there is no way to correct the problems unless the problems are eliminated.
Yes, there is an important agenda in Ankara today. More or less everyone in Turkey will be the eyes and ears of the Felicity Party Congress. It is normal that this congress will be the center of attention in an environment where our problems are increasing day by day. It is natural for everyone to wonder about the reflections of half a century of knowledge and experience and to want to know what the Felicity Party is saying. I hope that the Congress will be beneficial for our country, nation, victims and oppressed geographies and all humanity.
