Felicity (Saadet) Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu made important evaluations on the agenda at the weekly press conference he held. Among Karamollaoğlu's evaluations, his emphasis on justice stood out. Karamollaoğlu stated that our country and our nation are faced with big problems in every field and said, “Economy burns citizens' pockets, problems in foreign policy affect our country deeply. But when we follow the cause-effect relationship; We see that the lack of justice is the source of all our other problems, especially in the economy. Because justice; is the foundation of the state and property. It is not possible to talk about the existence of the state without justice! For this; We have to say 'Justice first, always justice and justice to all'. It can't be done without justice, it doesn't happen! If there is a lack of justice somewhere; nothing else is perfect! So to speak, before the gap of justice is closed; It is not possible to close the budget deficit and current account deficit. Without justice being established, no matter how much effort is made, the desired results are not achieved in any other field!”
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE SHOULD BE PUNISHED
Karamollaoğlu stated that they once again saw how important justice is in the police intervention against Furkan Foundation members in Adana in the previous days. Condemning the disproportionate intervention, "It is not possible for us to accept such violence against people who exercise their most basic constitutional rights, such as press statements, marches and protests, regardless of their reason and content. Whoever it is! With truncheon, pepper spray and even rubber bullets; Action should be taken immediately against those who go beyond the limits by pushing, beating and hitting people. Those truncheons that hit a person who is on the ground trying to protect himself, especially a woman, are not just that person; the concepts of justice and conscience in this country have been struck, wounded and left a mark. We do not get stuck with the identity and attire of the beater or beaten with truncheon. The main thing for us is; it is the truncheon getting up and down on a person's back like that! Action should be taken against anyone who caused these images, especially the Minister of Internal Affairs, who is the primary perpetrator of this incident, and the necessary penalties should be applied. There is no 'but' or 'yet' to this, it cannot be! No excuses or justifications can't beat these images!” Karamollaoğlu added.
“WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED IN THE PAST, THEY BECOME THE PERPETRATOR NOW”
Emphasizing that he did not witness such a period of injustice, Karamollaoğlu said, "Except for the revolution courts, even during the military tutelage periods, there was no such intervention in the courts. Those in power today have been hit with all of their past claims! More precisely, they create it with their own hands. Whoever they criticizes, those in power are doing the same things now. Whatever they were victims of in the past, they are now the perpetrators!”
“DEVLET BAHÇELİ CAN NEVER SOLVE THIS COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS”
Answering questions from journalists at the end of the meeting Karamollaoğlu humorously criticized the statement of Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, who was asked about the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, "Those who do not want to cross the bridge, jump into the sea." Karamollaoğlu said, “Devlet Bahçeli's statement reminded me of Deli Dumrul. 'The one who passes the bridge 1, the one who does not pass with a stick 2.' May God give you an idea! With this logic, no one can solve the country's problems, Mr. Bahceli can never solve them.”
NO SHINES IN THE EYES OF THE ECONOMY
Continuing his speech with the economic agenda, “There is a lot to talk about in the economy, but there is someone who should not talk like he has spoken until today; He is also the Minister of Economy! Fuel prices hurt; It was announced that there was another 20 percent increase in intercity bus tickets. Red meat prices were increased by 48 percent. Bread, milk, potatoes... Whatever you can think of, a new price increase is coming for everything, especially the most basic foodstuffs. Even in the first two months, the purchasing power fell by half, our people can’t go to the bazaar-market, can't turn on combi boiler and lamp at home. The Minister, whose eyes sparkle, continues to make abusive statements. They still think they can fix the economy with the sparkle in their eyes and the glint and noise in their words!” Karamollaoğlu added.
SUCH A MEETING IS NOT UNDERSTANDABLE
Karamollaoğlu also spoke about the dinner given to former and new Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputies and provincial presidents at the Presidential Complex the previous evening. Karamollaoğlu by criticizing, “With what capacity, with what right and with what moral values, this dinner was organized; I just couldn't understand. This dinner meeting has almost revealed the point we have come to with all its obviousness. Do you have no money, or did you hold this meeting because you can't find the menu and pomp of the Complex anywhere else? It will happen, the place is wide anyway; Make a hotel there and make your camps there too, don't bother going to Kizilcahamam and Afyon for a meeting! The President refers to the ‘Islamic teachings’, but they do not see the main ‘Islamic teachings’ that must be followed," he said.
OUR FOREIGN POLICY UPSETS US
At the end of his speech, Karamollaoğlu also criticized the foreign policy understanding of the government and added:
“Due to our historical acquis, geographical location and responsibilities, we can never carry out a passive foreign policy. Now we look at the developments around the world and we are upset. How can Turkey carry out such a passive, directionless and stray foreign policy? How can the Islamic world be so divided and how can everyone just take care of themselves? Cannot be accepted! We need to be interconnected like the members of a body and side by side like the teeth of a comb. How and when will we take a stand against Israel, which has adopted massacre as a policy? When will we take a step towards peace in Syria? When will we reach out to Kashmir and when will we take a stand against India.”
