Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) – National Youth Foundation (MGV) Regional Branch Managers and Branch Heads Meeting was held in Ankara with the participation of the regional provinces. Ankara, Zonguldak, Karabük, Bartın, Kastamonu, Çankırı, Eskişehir, Kırıkkale, Kırşehir, Bolu, Konya, Tokat, Yozgat, Çorum, Amasya and Sinop branches attended the meeting. AGD-MGV Chairman Salih Turhan also attended the meeting and addressed the branch managers and branch heads. Salih Turhan, in his speech, said, “We are in the month of Ramadan, which is the month of the Qur'an and a jihad climate. They usually describe the blessed month of Ramadan as a month of individual worship. But they do not emphasize that it is a jihad month. When we look at the life of our guide and leader, our Prophet, we see that the month of Ramadan is a month of jihad. As AGD – MGV members, we do not consider this month as a period in which we pull ourselves aside, but rather as a process in which we put more effort into our work.”
“CONDOLENCES MADE TO THOSE WHO KILLED MUSLIMS”
Turhan reacted to Israel's persecution by saying, "When we observe the world, we see an environment in which many people, Muslims, are in trouble and in difficulties. We are receiving news of mindless atrocities. On the first day of Ramadan, Zionist Israel started to attack Muslims as it does every Ramadan, as a requirement of the custom. They martyred 3 of our Palestinian brothers. They began to block entrances to Masjid al-Aqsa. Against all these atrocities, our Palestinian brothers responded and carried out some attacks in terrorist Israel, in Tel Aviv. But after that, the president of many Islamic countries, especially our country, called Herzog, the dishonest and terrorist president of Zionist Israel, and expressed their condolences and regrets. At this point, we understand very well the consciousness emphasis of our late teacher Erbakan,” he added.
“NATIONAL VISION MEMBERS LOOK AT PALESTINIAN ISSUE WITH ERBAKAN'S LINE”
Turhan said, “Normalization studies are carried out with Israel in many parts of the world, especially in the Arab countries around Palestine, including Muslim countries. Israel's dishonest president is met with great importance as a head of state in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). His visits to other Islamic countries are the same. It came to our country recently, we reacted. These visits reveal the perception in minds that Israel is a solid state, that there are relations between these states, and that this contact should continue. As Muslims, as National Vision members, we should look at the issues with a conscious, conscious point of view. Our teacher Erbakan also drew this perspective for us.”
