Addressing Mehmet Uçum, Arınç said, "Whose darling are you, my dear, you are spineless in every way? How did you turn, how did you become such a flip-flopper?" Arınç also used the term "clown" for 'Cübbeli Ahmet'.
HE CALLED 'CÜBBELİ' A 'CLOWN'
Noting that there is no justice in Turkey and that a social collapse is taking place, Arınç used the term "clown" for Ahmet Mahmut Ünlü, known as 'Cübbeli Ahmet'.
Arınç stated, "There is a regression and disappearance even in the understanding of Islam. We are in a period where beautiful examples belonging to Islam have disappeared, and a number of clowns, with or without robes, are strutting around."
HE SAID TO UÇUM: WHOSE DARLING ARE YOU, MY DEAR
According to the report on T24, Arınç said of Chief Presidential Advisor Mehmet Uçum, "The man was a Marxist in the past; he had ties to the communist party. He acted as their lawyer, and so on... But now we see him being more of a statist than the state, more of a fascist than a fascist... Whose darling are you, my dear, you are spineless in every way? How did you turn, how did you become such a flip-flopper?"
"THE MHP SHOULD MANAGE IT PERSONALLY"
Evaluating the new solution process that Turkey is currently in, Arınç said regarding the Imralı delegation, "When the DEM Party goes before a party with this delegation... They are like a lame duck, if you'll pardon the expression. Look, you have come, you are going to enter prison, what do you represent? They might think that there could be another team among us that represents politics properly. My proposal is that this process be managed by the MHP itself."
Here are the highlights from Arınç's speech at the “Sustaining and Strengthening Democracy” conference:
"There is a social collapse. There is also a collapse in beliefs. There is a regression and disappearance even in the understanding of Islam. We are in a period where beautiful examples belonging to Islam have disappeared, and a number of clowns, with or without robes, are strutting around."
"We have become very secular; being secular is not a bad thing, but when we went from being faithful, being religious, and maintaining the measure accordingly to secularization, we suddenly turned into a car going at two hundred kilometers per hour flipping over at a sharp turn. Others in Turkey are experiencing this too. The man was a Marxist in the past; he had ties to the communist party. He acted as their lawyer, and so on...
But now we see him being more of a statist than the state, more of a fascist than a fascist, more of this than that... Whose darling are you, my dear, you are spineless in every way? How did you turn, how did you become such a flip-flopper? We cannot criticize anyone. Because we have been here for 22 years. The first 10 years were a golden era. What followed is something else. Liberal means libertarian. Liberalism also has a morality."
NEW SOLUTION PROCESS
"How can an understanding that thinks everyone is Turkish by talking about 'kart kurt' (a derogatory reference to Kurdish identity), and even establishes associations so that the world becomes Turkish, say this? I was surprised, and secondly, I was glad. Of course, the DEM members are coming, they are meeting with parties. We are watching to see what will happen, I am trying to read the process. Let it come out somehow, let them announce that the organization has laid down its arms and let the organization lay down its arms. This is perhaps ten percent of the matter. What will happen to the ninety percent? Because those who appear before us during the process are demanding official education in their mother tongue, they are demanding American citizenship. This means these are not the case. So, if even this much is going to be of any benefit, no one can put up a barrier."
"A PATH UNDER THE INITIATIVE OF THE DEM PARTY WOULD BE INCOMPLETE"
"What do the groups under the direct control of America say to this? As far as I know, there are no terrorists left inside, I am a liar for Soylu. They are talking about a few hundred people whose shoe sizes are even known. This means the target is not them, the target is outside. According to one rumor, there are over 100 thousand, and according to another, there are at least 40 thousand armed groups.
How much will this affect them, we are always going by trial and error. I hope, I am definitely not underestimating it, but based on my experience, I say that a path under the initiative of the DEM Party would definitely be incomplete. Can you imagine, there is a mayor among them, but he has been removed from office 3 times, and a trustee has been appointed in his place."
"LIKE A LAME DUCK..."
"There is a Deputy Speaker of Parliament, several of his court cases are still ongoing, he has been in and out of prison. I like and appreciate them, let there be no misunderstanding. But when the DEM Party goes before a party with this delegation... They are like a lame duck, if you'll pardon the expression. Look, you have come, you are going to enter prison, what do you represent? They might think that there could be another team among us that represents politics properly. No one can predict what they will do there tomorrow."
"MY PROPOSAL IS THAT THIS PROCESS BE MANAGED BY THE MHP ITSELF"
"My proposal is that this process be managed by the MHP itself. We know that the MHP is not very talented and experienced in this regard, but if they want to, they need to find a team of good people who will manage this process successfully. Because the MHP has accreditation. They can establish trust in the speeches to be made at the parties they visit. Undoubtedly, the President would not want to be involved in this matter.
But since a delegation including the deputy chairman met them during the last party visit, it will perhaps be necessary to obtain his approval in the final part of this. Until then, it would be more correct for the MHP to carry out such a process, and they would also have taken responsibility. If you say, 'I said this, for me this matter is over,' rest assured it will not reach a conclusion."
'THE BEST CONSTITUTION IS THE ONE THAT IS APPLIED'"
"Ali Fuat Başgil says, 'The best constitution is the one that is applied. The worst constitution is the one that is not applied.' I dedicate this to those who love Başgil very much but then violate this statement."
