Giving messages regarding the second opening process of which he is the architect, Bahçeli said, "There is no need to stall or be stalled. Peace is not surrender, peace is not concession, peace is a balance achieved by protecting the nation's honor and maintaining the state's power. Peace is the ideal where justice, brotherhood, and national unity rise together."

At the end of his speech, Bahçeli congratulated our A National Football Team, which will compete in the World Cup. Expressing praise for TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, Bahçeli said:

"I wholeheartedly congratulate our A National Football Team, which will represent our dear nation in the World Cup.

I sincerely congratulate the management, especially the esteemed president of the TFF, İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu, who has taken on responsibility in this blessed march. The determination, fighting spirit, and sacrifice reflected on the field by our footballers, who carry the national jersey with great honor and faith, combined with the determined and disciplined work of our technical team, give hope to our nation. Above all, I express my gratitude to the great Turkish nation, which has never withheld its faith, prayers, and support for this distinguished squad that has found the opportunity to compete in the World Cup again.

My wish is that our Crescent-Stars make our nation proud with a success worthy of history, become the sign of our national unity and solidarity on the field, and make the voice of the Turk heard by the whole world from the fields!"

Highlights from Devlet Bahçeli's statements are as follows:

"My dear fellow party members, esteemed deputies, respected ladies and gentlemen, I greet the citizens who are following us with my most heartfelt feelings. I am pleased to be under the same roof with you.

COMMEMORATED ALPARSLAN TÜRKEŞ

We commemorate Alparslan Türkeş with mercy and gratitude on the anniversary of his passing. Mr. Türkeş is an exceptional man of cause. He represented a political understanding that placed the nation at the center. He was a man of difficult times. He was a torch lit against dark scenarios. He did not bow to threats. He prioritized the unity of the Turkish nation above all kinds of political calculations. The Turkish unity and the Turan ideal, which are his legacy, will surely come to life.

"TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WILL HAVE TO FACE REALITIES"

We are at a historical turning point where the system of values in the world is collapsing and grand narratives are going bankrupt. In this period when the global order is deeply shaken, we must make our decisions with this reality and shared responsibility. At moments of historical rupture, the most effective security is security based on a common will within national unity. This is the moral and conscientious responsibility of us all. The conflicts being experienced show that the old is completely dead and the new is not yet born. This is exactly a crisis situation. Every crisis period is a threshold. Global organizations have lost their functionality and their ability to produce solutions. Trump and Netanyahu have ignored the fact that hegemony based on force is unsustainable and have made a mistake. They are continuing these mistakes. The vocabulary has been exhausted and the end of the road is visible for the Western mind. In the face of anti-Trump marches and anti-war debates, the Trump administration will have to face the realities.

"HOT CONFLICTS ARE DEEPENING EVERY DAY"

The new world order, whose footsteps we have heard over the past 20 years, is appearing before us today as chaos. This chaos affects humanity, and instability deeply shakes the world. The current world situation resembles an interregnum period. It is taking us back to the conflict-ridden days of the past. Hot conflicts are deepening every day. The war continues with mutual attacks on its 39th day. The attacks against Iran are increasing the loss of life and growing the infrastructure damage every day. Despite all these multi-faceted pressure and siege attempts, the resilience of the Iranian people has drawn the world's attention. It has rendered the predictions of many political actors, especially Trump, void. The war is affecting the supply chain.

"CHP PRODUCES TALK INSTEAD OF POLITICS..."

The decisions we will make based on historical memory will give direction to our nation's future. Analyzing the world carefully with such sentiment is the shared responsibility of those who say they are engaged in politics. We have a historical and moral responsibility upon us more than ever.

The CHP produces talk instead of politics, and acts in a simple and opportunistic way instead of contributing to the solution of problems. They are looking for the right person at the wrong address. This understanding, which puts distance between itself and reality, deals with leaves, not roots. They appear to be disconnected from the state, the nation, and reality. We see that their mayors are abusing the office that the nation has entrusted to them. The essential thing is to take responsibility, and the approach we have put forward is exactly this.

In the time period we are going through, we have a historical and moral responsibility upon us more than ever. Because today, we will determine the lives of our future generations with the decisions we make. It is the shared responsibility of us all to analyze every kind of event taking place both in the world and in the region in an orderly manner and to examine them through the path of reason. However, even in such a reality, the CHP, which leads the current opposition, produces talk instead of politics and acts with a simple and opportunistic attitude instead of contributing to the solution of problems. They lack the realization of what is most valuable for the nation, they take refuge in various global centers, and they are looking for the right person at the wrong address.

"MHP DOES NOT DECLARE WAR ON VALUES"

This understanding, which has put distance between itself and reality, deals with leaves, not roots, turns its back on reality, and surrenders to a discourse that has completed its life. The understanding that has lost the ability to knead thoughts with the yeast of reason evaluates the country, regional, and world agenda in line with its simple interests and appears to be disconnected from the state, the nation, and realities. On the other hand, we are deeply saddened to see that some mayors representing the CHP mentality in recent days have reached the peak of decay and are abusing the offices that the nation has entrusted to them in every respect. In this historical turning point that our nation is going through, just making a diagnosis is nothing more than laziness. The essential thing is to produce a remedy and take responsibility.

MHP, when it says 'my country and my nation first, then my party and myself', expresses not a slogan but an idea, not propaganda based on demagoguery but common sense. It does not declare war on values; it produces policy based on values. MHP is beyond the understanding that evaluates events within the narrow molds of daily developments. Our perspective is a perspective that takes the survival of the state as its basis. In the eyes of MHP, the world is a struggle field where power struggles are hardening and balances are changing rapidly. In this picture, Turkey's place is not determined by coincidences but by the national will. MHP is not a political structure that only watches developments. It is the name of the will that directs, warns, and clearly reveals the national stance when necessary. We must not forget that Turkey needs a solid vision that will see its path and a strong determination more than ever. The conflicts around us show that we must act based on reason and experience.

"WE WILL NOT GIVE UP EVEN IF DEATH KNOCKS ON OUR DOOR"

The existence of the Republic of Turkey, the unity of the Turkish nation, and the preservation of national values are an indisputable truth for us. The subject of every sentence we construct is the Republic of Turkey, the object is the Turkish nation, and the predicate is the survival of the state and the nation; our struggle is for this. Our dedication is for this reason. We never hesitate, and we will not give up even if death knocks on our door.

"INDEPENDENCE IN ENERGY IS TURKEY'S RED APPLE"

With the developments in the world today, the global energy system is under serious risk, and this has reached a level that will affect all countries. The developments in Hormuz have revealed how sensitive the global energy order has become. Energy bases are directly at risk. This is a very deep fracture, an issue of energy security. Turkey's role is being redefined. Turkey has become a power that brings different routes together and can establish balance. Turkey represents a will that reads this new era correctly, reshapes the game, and shapes the future. Energy is power, stability, and the key to peace. Independence in energy is Turkey's Red Apple. This goal is a necessity.

In recent years, Turkey has accelerated its transition from a supply position to a development position in the defense industry. The successes achieved have been the outputs of this transformation. Defense industry initiatives that were thwarted in the past have been revived today.

"NO NEED TO STALL"

A Turkey without terrorism is a correct step taken at the right time. It will be the result of a blessed process carried out with love for the homeland and the nation, and with state-nation solidarity. The initiative taken by the TBMM is being carried out very carefully on behalf of the nation. We are following this picture closely. It is impossible to accept any void or any concession in this matter. Peace is not concession; peace is a balance achieved by observing the honor of the state and the nation. The Republic of Turkey is the most solid guarantee of deep-rooted brotherhood and a common destiny. No one will have the power to damage the brotherhood of our dear nation.

SUPPORT FOR THE A NATIONAL TEAM AND HACIOSMANOĞLU

I congratulate our A National Football Team, which will represent our nation in the World Cup. I also sincerely congratulate its management.
