Highlights from President Erdogan’s statements:
Here we only award the State Pride Medal in Ankara. Medals are also given to their owners in other cities. If our flag is flying, most of this is our martyrs and veterans. We have taken steps to reduce the burden on our martyrs and veterans in almost every field, from education to employment. I commemorate our holy martyrs with mercy and gratitude. I thank our veterans for their heroism.
We will not lower our crescent and star flag, which is the symbol of our independence. We will not silence our adhan. We will not damage our independence. We will not put up a barrier to our happy march.
We do not hesitate. We carry out the will of our holy martyrs. We do not make the slightest concession to protect the rights of our nation. We find and destroy terrorists in their lairs. We are asking for every drop of blood that they shed and will continue to do so. After a long time, tranquility settled in our eastern regions. We do not give the horde of murderers a chance to raise their heads. Gazelles now roam those mountains. Those who trust terrorism, trust mountain looters, and those who threaten our state have taken the measure of their height.
(Tensions in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean)
We will not allow anyone to confine our country, which has the longest coastline in the Mediterranean, to its shores. We fully defend the legitimate rights of our country and of the TRNC in the Eastern Mediterranean. Turns out, we won’t succumb to banditry, where threatening language doesn’t work. Turkey’s blackmail understood to bend the neck.
Turkey’s tests of patience and stability are the response that will be well deserved.
