Saadet Party Kayseri Provincial President Mahmoud Arikan, politics in Turkey are made over perception in recent years. Unfortunately, the facts are ignored. Today, we face an economic crisis, a US threat. But we are of the opinion that the facts about the economic crisis and the political relations with America come to this point are also missed by the politics of perception." he said.
"We live the worst period of the Republican history"
We have been living the worst period since the republic's announcement, and we are facing the most critical economic crisis. We are at the point where our relations with the outside world are the most stressed. The most common issue we talked about on June 24th was the phenomenon of polarization. Unfortunately, what the Saadet Party says is right. We are always faced with regret that you are right.
"America is just our enemy"
Politics is done via the perception in Turkey in recent years. Unfortunately, the facts are ignored. Today, we face an economic crisis, a US threat. But we are of the opinion that the facts about the economic crisis and the political relations with America come to this point are also missed by the politics of perception. The economic system that we have been following since Kemal Dervis was the economic crisis we experienced. The problem that we have with America today is that our foreign policy process after the Incirlik Base in the Gulf Operation in 2002, the air and sea ports in Turkey has opened. In 2002, we were told that we are a strategic partner with the United States, although we are not saying that entering the BOP Project is a huge mistake, assuming the co-chairperson role. We see today that the USA is not our friend, nor our ally, nor our strategic partner. It's just our enemy.
"We will work to prevent the polarization"
It is political parties like us to prevent polarization in society. At first, the ruling party falls. Relevantly, the dialogue with the political parties before the elections will continue after the elections, and we will continue our routine negotiations. We will talk about our and our Kayseri, Turkey and try to find solutions to local shortages.
"We won the election in hearts of our people"
The Saadet Party won the election in the hearts of our people. I do not think there is any doubt about it. We did not get the result we wanted in numerical sense. This is the part of the cup that we looked at from the blank. The one we are looking at is the only political movement that increases its votes by 100 percent. The greatest reason why we can not get the vote we want as a Saadet Party is that the government is a political movement that has come out of us. We speak the same discourse but we are convinced that we can not express our differences in our actions according to our people.
"We will go out with strong candidates in local elections"
Local issues will be on the agenda in local elections. We will continue to be the supporters of what Kayseri local governments are doing right, and we will continue to criticize the mistakes on all platforms. And we are going to stand out with candidates who are very ambitious to win these elections, Kayseri publicly well-known, popular, Kayseri-worthy candidates. We will make statements about it in the upcoming period."
