Erdogan said, “Turkey reached where it is today, not by the grace of some people, but after a difficult journey full of many sneaky tricks. As we always say, none of our achievements were presented to us on a golden platter.”
By saying, “As a nation and country, we have fought, sweated and paid the price for whatever success we have achieved. This is how we reached a Turkey, whose economy impresses with its industry, exports and tourism, from the country of poverty and economic crisis,” he added.
