AK Party Chairman and Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 7th Samsun Ordinary Provincial Congress to be held at his party’s 19 Mayıs Stadium. The highlights of Erdogan’s statements are as follows:
EARTHQUAKE LIVING IN IZMIR
“With the center in Seferihisar, I once again convey my wishes to our brothers in Izmir due to the earthquake in Izmir. We have 58 dead and 896 injured. I wish God’s mercy to those who lost their lives in the earthquake. After the removal From the rubble, we immediately started to work. The ministry and our institutions are doing what is necessary in the disaster area. Yesterday we went from the Van congress to İzmir and held our meeting in the crisis center.
Samsun has a different place in our hearts. You are the closest witness to our affection for Samsun. Last year, we came here on May 19 and met our youth. Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with the celebrations, which began on May 19 and will continue until the centenary of our Republic, due to the epidemic. We had to settle for a limited program even for the opening of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. I hope we have a long way to go with our young people who have entrusted us with our future. Turkey is committed to the infrastructure necessary for our youth to undertake the task of bringing together Vision 2053.
11 MILLION MEMBERS
I believe that the congress will represent a critical process in this historical process that we are going through. I look forward to more support from Samsun. Everyone, from the chairman of the AK Party to the representative of the neighborhood, will be the locomotive of the dynamic process. Yes Turkey we have it. Turkey is strong, we are strong. This is why we say at every opportunity that the AK Party is the party of the nation. If the AK Party tries to make it an instrument of its personal accounts, it will find us and our nation against it.
Although 19 years have passed since its creation, there is no other party that continues to renew its power. We continue to grow the AK Party with new names and new emotions without leaving anyone out. Our number of members exceeded 11 million. I hope Samsun is at the forefront of this heartbreaking campaign with new members and enthusiasm. I would like to express my gratitude to all my brothers and sisters who have worked in our organizations since its inception. I wish God’s mercy for those who passed away from our fellow travelers to darülbek.
“They are still trying to maintain the old habits”
We are going through a period in which serious collapses are experienced in all fields of politics, economy and social life in our region and the world, and a new global order is being built. The civilization of Turkey and the history of the responsibilities assigned to it according to rights, fairness, lies alongside the victim. As we defend our own rights, we share the opportunities we have with our friends. We are here with the powerful of the last century. It’s not easy to impose a game changer on these people who owe their power to bloodshed. They are still trying to maintain their old habits. As long as we hold on to our unity, togetherness, and brotherhood, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome.
On the one hand, we will produce solutions to our problems in the country, on the other hand, we will implement projects in our regions. We are hopeful and determined. In the past, we took away all the tools they used to run our country the way they wanted for a long time. They played the same games in our period, they were disappointed. Although the entire world was devastated during the epidemic period, we reached out to everyone who asked for help. We have extended our helping hand to 155 countries so far. We didn’t say no, we ran to all of them. Because we have proven that we exist in this world to be the hand that gives, not the hand that receives.
Although the terrorist organizations and the cruel regimes in our region attacked the lives and honor of our brothers, we did not turn our back on them, we protected them in the field. We are in Syria, Libya, Azerbaijan. We show the same dignified attitude from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, from Syria to Libya, from Cyprus to Karabakh. We gave martyrs in the fight against terrorism and in the attempted coup. We gave martyrs in Idlib, Afrin, Olive Branch; everything means that the earth becomes our homeland for us. This happens if you have a homeland.
Attacks on our economy have costs. As we were on track to reach our goals, they held us back in some areas, but could not return. We put all the traps they put on their heads. The AK Party will be the locomotive of this new era. If we have survived 18 years of democracy and development in the era of how Turkey will continue our work in the next period.
INVESTMENTS IN SAMSUN
While we promise our nation more services, more investment and a more prosperous country, we do not speak in vain like others. Our reference is the services that we have brought to our country. Samsun also received her share of these services. We have invested more than 30 billion lire in 18 years. With these investments, we built a new education classroom and obtained the second state university. We open dormitory buildings with capacity for 9,768 people. In the next period, we will also put into service dormitories with capacity for 4,750 people. Samsun should go to the Super League after this time. We carry out the maintenance and repair of 147 sports facilities. We have a 4-nation garden project. We have completed the public garden that we built in place of the old stadium and put it into service. We support those in need with 4 trillion Turkish lira. We have created 37 health establishments. We implemented 11,539 housing projects. We have increased the length of the divided highway to 309 km.
