"TO THE PUBLIC
Our dear citizens,
Our country is experiencing one of the most difficult periods in its political history.
In this challenging period, the YENİ Party was born as the hope of Turkey, with the nation's will for change. The nation named it. Now, the YENİ Party is growing on the path opened by the nation, with the nation's will.
Everyone is witnessing the superior leadership our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel, has demonstrated in this great struggle.
Despite the pain he has endured, the persecution he has faced, and the hegemony they have tried to establish over him, our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel, has not bowed an inch, has not taken a step back, and has not left a single word unsaid.
They said there is no party, he said it will be established.
They said there is no money, he said it will be found.
They said there are too many problems, he said they will be overcome.
These persecutions and injustices continue today.
While struggling with these difficulties, our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel, continues his fight by presenting a new-generation democratic understanding that goes beyond old political habits. This understanding, which emphasizes common sense over the dominance of a leader, pluralism over singularity, and consultation over imposition, manifested itself in the vote held in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). We heard the voices of our 86 million citizens. We became the voice of every segment of society.
Our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel, is demonstrating determined leadership in expanding the space for democratic politics, bringing the nation's voice to the center of politics, and uniting different segments of society around a common future goal during this difficult period.
As the YENİ Party Parliamentary Group, we demonstrate our complete unity and state once again with this text that we stand firmly and arm-in-arm behind our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel. We are deeply honored to walk under the leadership of our Chairman, Mr. Özgür Özel, with responsibility toward our nation, and to be fighting the same struggle alongside him.
YENİ PARTY PARLIAMENTARY GROUP
