Anahtar Party Leader Ağıralioğlu's election call to the People's Alliance: 'Take your companion Öcalan and come'

Ağıralioğlu said, "You have become companions with Öcalan. In the 2023 elections, you were saying about the opposition, 'They will set Öcalan free.' You were hurling very harsh insults at the terrorist leader, whom you are now causing to talk about the 'right to hope.' Now you cannot even call him a 'terrorist.' You set out at the beginning of the road to be a hope for your nation. You have become your nation's nightmare. You are talking about the right to hope for Öcalan. We will exercise our right to forget you."

Anahtar Party Leader Ağıralioğlu stated, "We are in the first year of the day when a handful of men, whose share was the determination to try again for the country, to set out again, to struggle again, and to set out again with effort for the Turkish nation, said 'once more' in a climate where it is difficult to establish a party on October 28, and on a ground where everyone who establishes a party is viewed as 'crazy'."

Highlights from Ağıralioğlu's speech are as follows:

"We are in the first year where a cadre that has not let any hesitation fall into its share has gathered with enthusiasm in the hall of those who say 'do not worry,' in a ground where the press, political analyst circles, and political environments say 'it is difficult to establish a party in this time, on this ground'; where they can say 'it is not very possible to keep a party in this time, on this ground.' On October 28, shouting to the horizon of hope of the Turkish nation, I said: 'The party of those who know what to hold will hold it in the bosom of the nation.' We knew what we would hold when we set out. I said that the party of those who hold the state, those who will hold the state, those who will hold the homeland, those who will hold the Republic, those who will hold labor and sweat, those who will hold the hope of the youth, those who will hold the rights and sweat of the worker, those who will hold the producer's production, the seller's sales, and the planner's plans as predictability will hold it. We are a movement that knows what it will hold.

"THIS PARTY WAS FOUNDED SO THAT IT WOULD BELONG TO THE TURKISH NATION"

We are here with our growing enthusiasm from the other day. We were in the squares again. We spent a year in the squares. In a climate where we know what the press is forced to talk about, we acted with a real national agenda and responsibility regarding the country's agenda, which is used as material and appetizer for the desire that the country's issues should not be discussed politically, and we spent a year, city by city, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, on the fermentation of a new will on the horizon of the country. If this movement has been able to come today as the enthusiasm of a movement that has taken hold in these halls; if it has been able to focus on its nation and be founded for its nation, we owe this to the seriousness of knowing what we would hold when we set out on October 28. This party is not a whim to add another party; when this Anahtar Party was founded as the 161st party, it was not founded out of a whim to have a party of our own, but so that it would belong to the Turkish nation. Anahtar Party was founded for our state. Anahtar Party was founded for our nation. Anahtar Party was founded for our homeland and our flag. Anahtar Party was founded for the reputation of our currency. In this world where the producer cannot get their due, it was founded for the rights of the producer. It was founded for sweat. It was founded for the dreams of our children. It was founded for hope.

"IF THEY REMOVED THE PROMPTER DEVICE, HE WOULD SEE HIS NATION"

Youth unemployment is clear. Our education problems are clear. The situation of children whose talents we cannot discover is clear. The trouble of the unappointed teacher is clear. The trouble of the victims of internships and apprenticeships is clear. Those who ask for a tier in retirement are clear. Public workers are clear. The fatigue of our police organization is clear. The trouble of agriculture and animal husbandry is clear. The trouble of production is clear. The tradesman and the industrialist are clear. The problems of our education system are clear. Everything is actually clear. It is not me who comes here, but whichever party leader from the opposition comes, they will say the same things. Let me tell you something even more serious: Even if the President himself came here, not from the opposition, he would say the same things we said. He only has one problem. He does not see us because he looks at his nation from a prompter device. If they removed the prompter device, he would see his nation. They speak from behind glass. They speak while watching the glass. That is why they do not hear those who speak from the heart. If they removed the prompter devices, they would find their nation in front of them. They would see their troubles. They would notice every problem they have to be a remedy for.

"I HAVE LIVED A LIFE DEDICATED TO MY NATION, MY RELIGION, AND MY STATE"

Now that I am speaking in our own name, I have been speaking for a year. Our press is here. For the first time, I am speaking to so many cameras. I have complained for a year. I have made complaints for a year. Some of the complaints became a cause for sadness for our nation. Sometimes I found one camera in front of me, one microphone. I had to address that one microphone like this: 'You put a prompter device in front of the murderers of our children. You send live broadcast vehicles to a herd of murderers who have aged by shooting our children in Qandil. You send one microphone in front of the children of our nation. When I was speaking to that one microphone, and when I was speaking without a microphone, I was speaking to the Turkish nation. Not to my party. I was speaking to the future of the country. At that time, what I said became a burden on the heart of my nation. I am a child of this country. As long as I have known myself, I have lived a life dedicated to my homeland, my nation, my religion, and my state.

"YOU HAVE BECOME THE NIGHTMARE OF THE NATION"

This report card is the report card of the Presidential government system that you came out with 50 plus 1. Change it, brother. You will do it like this: You will change its 50 plus 1. You will get rid of the line of lack of principle in politics. I am talking about something that will save you from being a companion to Öcalan. It is the terrible 50 plus 1 system that God is testing us with through your efforts, which forces you to put a microphone in front of Öcalan today, to put a prompter device, to sit and talk with Qandil. Now I am proposing something that will lift both you and us back up with principle in this political system. The thing behind our proposal is this: You have become companions with Öcalan. In the 2023 elections, you were saying about the opposition, 'They will set Öcalan free.' You were hurling very harsh insults at the terrorist leader, whom you are now causing to talk about the 'right to hope.' Now you cannot even call him a 'terrorist.' You set out at the beginning of the road to be a hope for your nation. You have become your nation's nightmare. You are talking about the right to hope for Öcalan. We will exercise our right to forget you. You have become a hope for the murderer of our children. You have become a nightmare for our children. You are the owners of the faults that will be accused at every stage of this road we have taken for the strong future of the Turkish nation.

"PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE TBMM A TOOL FOR YOUR WHIMS"

We are waiting for you at the ballot boxes. Take Öcalan and come too. Your companion. Take him and come. That is what you say. You say 'founding leader.' Take him and come. You put microphones in front of the murderers of your children. Numan Bey has lost his sense of balance lately. He is the Speaker of the TBMM. It is the place where the national will is manifested. I think so, and our nation thinks so too. The most honorable place in the world is the TBMM. The Speaker of the TBMM should never forget which position he sits in. The TBMM is not a place or position where the murderer of children is made to chant slogans in its corridors, and then no action is taken against this, and then a Kurdish poem is read, and a presidential candidacy is planned. You may have a whim to be a presidential candidate in the coming period. Please do not make the TBMM a tool for these whims of yours."
