Erdoğan attacks opposition at Ankara rally: 'What is this suffering we endure from the Yavaşs'

With 8 days left until the March 31 local elections, President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is speaking at his party's rally in Ankara.

CONDOLENCE MESSAGE FOR RUSSIA

Highlights from Erdoğan's statements are as follows:

"We convey our condolences to the Government of Russia. We strongly condemn this heinous terrorist attack. Terrorism is unacceptable, no matter who it comes from. We share the pain of the Russian people as a nation and as a state."

"WINNING ISTANBUL WOULD SUIT OUR BROTHER MURAT"

Who built this place, this national garden? Our brother Murat Kurum built it while he was a minister. Where is Murat Kurum now? In Istanbul. Winning Istanbul would suit our brother Murat. In Keçiören, our brother Turgut Altınok left his mark there with many works.

We put our 2023 goals, which we prepared in reference to the 100th anniversary of our Republic, into practice together with Ankara. I see the same determination here with this turnout. The same Ankara is ready for the construction of the Century of Turkey. I believe you will walk this path with us. Do you promise this? Is it a promise? As long as Ankara is with us, even if the whole world stands against us, we will break through it. Knowing, understanding, and loving Ankara is certainly important, but what is truly important is to equip Ankara with works and services worthy of all its qualities. What has the current mayor done in 5 years as you, the people of Ankara? The state of our roads is obvious. Trash, potholes, mud. This is the practice of the CHP. They cannot do anything else. It was like that in Istanbul, too. We took it over from them.

"WHAT IS THIS SUFFERING WE ENDURE FROM THE 'YAVAŞ'S"

Ankara is the same. Let us get rid of them now. 5 years have passed in vain. That is why March 31 is very important. The time has long since come to save Ankara from those who cannot provide services worthy of its status as a capital city. Let us do justice to this on the evening of March 31. This is not a city that can be managed by doing nothing and then boasting about it. Ankara cannot handle any more slowing down. What is this suffering we endure from the Yavaşs. Let us burst the ballot boxes. Everything is coming our way on March 31 for a capital city worthy of Turkey.
