The European Meeting, organized by Felicity (Saadet) Party Europe, held in Duisburg, Germany.
It was held with the participation of the Chairman of Saadet Party, Temel Karamollaoğlu.
Speaking in the program, Karamollaoğlu underlined that the government is incapable of solving the problems in Turkey, and noted that the reason for the powerlessness of the government is due to the system ruled by a single person.
“WE ARE WORKING FOR OUR 5 MILLION CITIZENS LIVING IN EUROPE”
Making the opening speech of the program, Saadet Party European Representative Mahmut Sami Temel stated that they continue their work for nearly 5 million Turkish citizens living in Europe.
"We started the first leg of our meetings in Berlin. After some contacts, visits and openings in Berlin, we started our European Meetings program. We started our European studies in Munich with the start of bringing the ballot boxes in Turkey to Europe. As Saadet Avrupa, we have spread all over Europe. About 5 million Turkish citizens live in Europe. We continue to organize on the basis of density centers and access points to consulates. Our country is going through a bottleneck. There is a crisis all over the world. First of all, we, as National Vision and Saadet Party members, must protect and strengthen our existing unity and solidarity. We will come together with all segments of society and find common solutions to our problems," he said.
“WE WILL FULFILL OUR DUTIES FOR FACILITY OF PEACE”
Referring to the war between Russia and Ukraine, Karamollaoğlu stated that Ukraine was occupied as an independent state.
"Our world today is almost on the brink of war. When the Ukraine issue is considered, there are many problems. On the one hand, we do not approve of the sudden entry of the Russians into Ukraine, as it means the occupation of an independent state. While struggling with this approach, we will not go without saying that mistakes should not be made. We will all make an effort to fulfill our duty for the establishment of peace as soon as possible. But how we will work and how we will fight is very important," he said.
“POWER FAILED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS”
Expressing that there are many problems in Turkey, Karamollaoğlu underlined that the problems came to light due to wrong policies.
"The problems started to come to the surface, the increase in the day by day has brought to the surface that people have come to a point where they cannot sustain their lives. Both the government and the government were helpless. Even if we say government or power, there is no institution against us, there is only one person. Our biggest problem in solving the problems we face today is that we are condemned to such a point. If we cannot solve its problems, it does not seem that our country will be able to solve its problems," Karamollaoğlu added.
“LINING ISSUES TO A SINGLE PERSON IS NOT THE SOLUTION”
Expressing that the presidential system would not benefit Turkey many years ago, Karamollaoğlu stated that they came together with the opposition parties to work.
"Years ago, we saw that the presidential system adopted by the AK Party today would not bring any benefit, and we came together as the opposition and worked to find a solution. Because linking issues to a single person has not emerged as a solution today or in the past. Consultation is required. Of course, consultation can produce a solution if it is done with competent people," Karamollaoğlu said.
“THE PRESIDENT MANAGES THE COUNTRY ALONE”
Karamollaoğlu stated that 6 political parties came together and worked to solve the problems.
"It is actually a serious virtue that political parties with incompatible programs can come together. We cannot neglect this. Everyone makes some sacrifices. To get straight first. It is not possible to create such an environment without changing this system. Mr. President is running the country alone. He handles everything himself. It is certainly not possible to say that such an administration will neither solve our country's problems nor will we have the power to settle world issues under today's conditions," he said.
“CHANGING MINISTER DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM”
Underlining that the citizens are struggling with economic problems, Karamollaoğlu emphasized that the government is insufficient.
"Poverty, hunger, and financial difficulties of families are serious problems and the government cannot overcome these problems. It's not even looking for a way. It just changes the view. If you change ministers and insist on your own policies, there will be no solution. The real solution lies in changing policies and systems that will implement those policies. We hope to continue this union until the elections. Everyone is sincere in this effort, there is no conflict between us here. Outside interventions are being made for the emergence of some conflicts," Karamollaoğlu added.
“WE WILL INCREASE INVESTMENTS RESOURCES FOR PRODUCTION”
Pointing out that wrong policies lie behind Turkey's problems, Karamollaoğlu said following words:
"Wrong policies lie at the root of the problems we are dragged into today. Our basic approach is clear. We will root out corruption, waste and bribery, we will only transfer resources to production-oriented investments, this is what we will do. Rest assured, Turkey will make unbelievable moves in a few years. If you establish new facilities and activate new facilities, employment opportunities arise there. This is not enough, national income is increasing. Production-oriented investments are our sine qua non."
