The traditional Summer Festival program of Saadet Party Istanbul Provincial Presidency was held in an enthusiastic atmosphere.
Unforgettable moments were experienced with many competitions and events at the feast organized with the participation of tens of thousands of members of the organization and citizens in the picnic area of Çekmeköy.
Saadet Party Chairman Temel Karamollaoğlu emphasized the importance of organizational awareness in the program he attended via video conference.
"This and similar meetings organized by the Saadet Party Istanbul Provincial Presidency make an important contribution to our cohesion as well as routine work. As you know, we have left behind an important election. However, we have to prepare for a new election. There are local elections in 8 months. These elections are very important to us. As Milli Gorus, we achieved our first great success in the 1989 local elections. We won Konya, Van, Sivas and Kahramanmaraş in local elections. We had the opportunity to introduce Milli Gorus municipalism to Turkey. The works we carried out in these provinces during that 5-year period made an impression in Turkey. As a result of this, a legend called Milli Gorus municipality emerged," Karamollaoğlu said.
"WE DID NOT ONLY DO MUNICIPAL SERVICE"
Temel Karamollaoğlu stated that the Milli Gorus municipality is not limited to the local administration.
"We didn't just do municipal services. At the same time, we contributed to social services and other studies. We have undertaken works that will not meet all the needs of a province, not just our roads and constructions. This was appreciated all over the country. As a result of this, we experienced a boom in 1994 and won 28 city municipalities in 8 big cities. Our work at that time revealed the difference of Milli Gorus. That is why the upcoming local elections are of great importance," Karamollaoğlu added.
Sabri Tekir, Deputy Chairman of Saadet Party, in his speech at the festival, reminded Turkey's economic problems.
"In the period Turkey is currently in, the government is indebted to excess. It is not possible to get rid of this emerging picture in a short time. But this country has been through a lot of troubles and it is in a position to be thrown out from now on. When we look at the current situation, another problem is the current account deficit. In this environment, the ability to pay debts is very low. However, our biggest problem is that our young people lose hope in the country and seek a solution abroad. Thousands of our young minds are leaving our country," Tekir said.
"ISTANBUL ORGANIZATION HAS CREATED IMPORTANT WORK"
Saadet Party Hatay Deputy Assoc. Dr. Necmettin Çalışkan, in his speech in the program, pointed out the 6 February earthquake in Kahramanmaraş.
"A lot of support came to the earthquake area from all over Turkey. But at that time, the Istanbul Organization of the Saadet Party put forward important works at that time. As we know, our Istanbul organization has set up large soup kitchen tents in Malatya, Adıyaman, Kahramanmaraş and Hatay. In these soup kitchen tents, food was distributed to tens of thousands of earthquake victims daily. In addition, the Saadet Party organizations continued to work there for more than 5 months to heal the wounds," he said.
"OUR GAIN WAS THE GAIN OF OUR NATION"
Birol Aydın, Istanbul Deputy of the Saadet Party and Spokesperson of the Saadet Party.
"Every time this government won an election, the country lost, the nation lost. The blessings, opportunities and potential of a whole country were used to maintain power. However, if the blessings and opportunities of this country were used fairly for 85 million people, there would be a climate of material and spiritual peace in Turkey. During the times when Milli Gorus was in power and was a partner in power, our gain was our nation's gain, he said.
Saadet Party Istanbul Deputy Mustafa Kaya drew attention to the importance of Milli Gorus politics.
"We see how right we are in our warnings to government officials. We remember how important our responsibilities are in this situation. We do not have despair. In every field where the Milli Gorus movement engages in politics, we prioritize upholding what we say, protecting the well-being of our people and protecting the future of our country. We are the Milli Görüş lovers, there is no hopelessness in us," Kaya said.
In his speech, Saadet Party Istanbul Deputy Bülent Kaya drew attention to the parliamentary work of the Saadet Party in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.
"Since October, we are already making preparations with our teams so that the Saadet Party will be the voice of our nation, which sets the agenda in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and controls the government. By Allah's leave, starting from October, we will work in the Parliament more effectively in legislative activities, with an understanding of politics that cooks boza on the neck of the government, and that is a good engine and a brake against evil. Like the previous Milli Görüş groups, we want to be instrumental in the growth of our nation," he said.
"WE WILL TOUCH EVERY HEART"
Addressing the members of the organization with his speech in the program, Istanbul Provincial Chairman of the Saadet Party Ömer Faruk Yazıcı said, "With the brotherhood in our hearts, the belief in the pulp of our organization, perseverance and determination; In the 2024 local elections, we will prove to everyone that the will of our nation will never be transformed by perceptions, that the truth will always prevail, and that the only address in our nation's hearts and minds is the Saadet Party. We will knock on every door. We will shake every hand. We will touch every heart. We will fight to the end of our strength and achieve the greatest victories in local elections."
