Highlights from the statements of Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş:
It is unacceptable that, especially in recent days, some men of the old regime are regrouping and carrying out raids to leave no space for the new administration, followed by counter-attacks that could fuel sectarian conflicts.
Because we are in the month of Ramadan. Our own faith and civilization teach us one fundamental thing. All Muslims are brothers.
When our Master Ali appointed Malik as governor of Egypt, he said this in his appointment: O Malik, know that people are of two classes.
They are either your equals in creation or your brothers in religion. Our faith does not marginalize anyone.
It does not marginalize any human being, and it never permits a Muslim to declare anyone an infidel.
Therefore, we are the descendants of a nation that has shown for centuries that all Muslims can meet under the same roof, and all people can meet on the same common ground of humanity.
