Here are Çelik'sstatements...:

In Turkey, everyone is a first-class citizen regardless of how they identify their ethnicity. Kurds are our fellow citizens with whom we share the same homeland and the same future. As these processes unfold, you engage with many people. The issue you mentioned should be divided into three parts. First, we have been there in the past as well. We have been in power for 23 years. There are those who remember the times before that. When the terrorist organization was operating intensely there, there was no vitality in the streets. Look, festivals are being held there now, and cultural meetings are taking place. May God have mercy on our martyrs. They gave us a message. We sacrifice our lives so that our children may live freely. Just as there is a festive atmosphere in the Aegean, the same is true there now. We had promised, 'We will not sacrifice the lambs of the Euphrates, the Tigris, and the Zap rivers to the jackals of imperialism.' This is the place where that promise is being kept.

It is important that Mr. Barzani supports the process of a Turkey and a region free of terrorism. He also held a meeting with our President. During his time as the de facto president, he maintained very good friendly relations with Turkey on all issues except one. That issue was the referendum. We have had good relations. I attended the KDP's congress. He gave directly positive messages regarding Turkey. He only met with the Turkish delegation there. against DAESH, Turkey played an active role in protecting that region.

The image you mentioned naturally provided grounds for unpleasant and negative comments. The Ministry of Interior is conducting an investigation regarding this. As a result, Mr. Barzani does not hold an active duty. Of course, his security must be ensured; the Republic of Turkey possesses this power. Before we went on air, a disrespectful message regarding Mr. Bahçeli was published on behalf of his office. An important interview with Mr. Bahçeli was published in Türkgün in the newspaper. A spokesperson in Barzani's office made this statement. The text written is disrespectfultext. Expressions like racist and fascist are being used. While making this assessment, Mr. Bahçeli has comments regarding the security guards protecting Mr. Barzani, but he has no negative assessment regarding Mr. Barzani himself.

There is no negative expression regarding Barzani's person or his visit; his negative expressions are about the images. The office spokesperson uses racist and chauvinist used such expressions. Mr. Bahçeli speaks of a relationship of respect and affection built around us within the framework of a terror-free region. The language used by whoever made that statement is racist and chauvinistic. That statement consists of directly disrespectful expressions toward Mr. Bahçeli. This is unacceptable and must certainly be corrected. For someone who has dedicated their entire political life to working for a terror-free region and mobilized their strength for this cause, using this styleis thoughtless and lacks perception. Whoever penned this must correct it. Mr. Bahçeli states that Mr. Barzani's visit to our country is a demonstration of our nation's magnanimity.

The message Mr. Bahçeli gave there concerns unpleasant images. There is no sentence regarding Barzani or his arrival. The expressions used by the office against Mr. Bahçeli are absolutely unacceptable. This language has become language that will harm the terror-free region process.

It is a matter concerning the law. On one hand, it is said that 'the government is interfering.' On the other hand, there are calls to 'intervene.' This is also a strange situation.

If it's a challenge, then it's a challenge. On the other hand, there is a legal system. There are, for instance, 1,500 people being tried in a similar manner. 1,500 people requested a live broadcast based on the principle of equality. Which one will you broadcast? Did Sarkozy make such a request in France? He served as head of state and went to prison. 10 people were arrested for misusing EU funds. One is in active duty. They were arrested. On what basis is this privilege? The CHP has a very bad habit; it thinks its own internal agenda is Turkey's primary agenda. It thinks its own party congress is the establishment of democracy's ballot box. Lawyers will watch that court, members of the presswill follow. There is the principle of equality in the Constitution, and there are laws. Imagine 10 people being tried in a similar way; which television station would broadcast it? The judicial system, the executive, and the legislative branches are not playing a game of tag. You hold commission meetings. You held a closed session in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). The minutes will not be disclosed for 10 years. The officials are changing. Does this mean something is being hidden from this nation?O N

THEA GHEAD DRESSEDTHE DEBATES

I was in the hall when it was being played. The Pope had not arrived yet. It is said that he came as a guest of the Patriarchate. Could such a visit take place without the invitation of our President? He is coming as a head of state. Criticisms can be made. To lie knowingly, to make grand claims. With false information, Christian history, the history of Anatolia was rewritten. Images that were not welcomed emerged, and certain messages were conveyed. This applies to every visit. Serious articles and analyses were published. A couple of friends and I reread the books about the Council of Nicaea once more. We naturally host the head of any legitimate state. Our protocol rules and our self-confidence are clear. The Pope's message is important to the world. Although there is a small number ofChristians in Turkey, everyone lives in equality and tolerance; this should be an example to the world. This is an important message.

Taner BedruH

The identity of our President is clear, and the values he has dedicated his life to are clear. With this visit, Turkey has once again demonstrated to the world an example of being a tolerant and pluralistic society during one of the periods when ethnic and religious conflicts are being experienced most severely in the world.
