Erdoğan's 'New Opening' statement: 'The separatist villains will either bury their weapons immediately or...'

President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress of the AKP in Samsun.

Here are the highlights from Erdoğan's statement:

"As the People's Alliance and the AK Party, we are the future of this country. Hopefully, we will continue to serve this country for many more years.

We have never done anything that would hurt the spirits of our dear martyrs or our veterans. Whatever we did, we did without deviating from their path.

We are striving to fulfill the testament of our martyrs by freeing Turkey from the shackles on its feet.

We thought a thousand times, spoke once, and took one step. We have seen the interests of Turkey and the Turkish nation as being above all kinds of political considerations. Those who were hand-in-glove with the separatist organization during the election period have nothing to say to our party and our People's Alliance on this matter. Our reference has been the interests of our country. Today, our only goal is to remove the final obstacles on the path to a great and powerful Turkey. As the People's Alliance, we will achieve this; no matter what anyone says, brotherhood will win in Turkey.

In Turkey, the shared destiny of our nation, extending from the past to the future, will win. We will fill the pit of discord that the separatist organization has opened among the members of our nation with brotherhood, and we will close it with mutual respect. We will save our country from the scourge of terrorism as soon as possible. We are determined, we are locked on our target. The circle is tightening for the terrorist organization and the terrorists. Regardless of whether they are Turkish, Kurdish, or Arab, no one has any tolerance left for terrorists who act as subcontractors for the regional plans of imperialists. The separatist villains will either bury their weapons immediately or they will be buried in the ground along with their weapons. There is no third way! The era of terror and weapons has ended. The separatist terrorist organization has reached its expiration date.

We have been in this geography for a thousand years; we are the hosts. We water these lands with our blood and our sweat. We will be here for many more centuries, and we will live freely."
