"Take this rope now and hang it at the head of your bed!"

Here are the highlights from Dervişoğlu's statements:

"Today, we were supposed to come here to discuss the burning issues of our citizens and propose solutions. But it is seen and understood that we will not find the opportunity for this today. Unfortunately, the 'worst-case scenario' that I foresaw and warned about a long time ago, and which I cautioned against from this very spot just last week, has been put into practice; a non-national consensus front has been declared by the leaders and executive cadres of the AK Party, MHP, CHP, and DEM parties.

The process, which began with calls for normalization and continued with the shameless audacity to question the founding characteristics of the Republic of Turkey, has, as of yesterday, taken the murderers of İmralı and Kandil by its side and openly declared war on the existence of the Great Turkish nation.

Unlike others, I will not construct sentences open to debate in television programs and newspaper columns, the meaning of which is unclear, asking what he meant or what he aims to do. I will speak quite clearly, openly, and briefly. We have one week until the 101st anniversary of our Republic.

And we do not have a single minute to lose. Because the circle of betrayal has now expanded as much as possible and has narrowed our living space so much that we have entered a process where we could be left completely breathless with one final organized blow. We are people with a responsibility to history. We cannot speak based on personal ambition or political calculations. We cannot endure the baseness of abandoning the values we believe in and reaching out to betrayal just to secure three or five votes or to complete the necessary quorum for a constitutional amendment, all for the sake of making Tayyip Erdoğan a presidential candidate once again.

The government managing the Republic of Turkey, with all its offices and officials, has long since abandoned its duty to protect the safety of the people's lives, property, chastity, and honor. The person in the palace, who is obliged to perform his duty by swearing on his honor and dignity, saying 'to protect and exalt the existence and independence of the state, the indivisible integrity of the homeland and the nation, the unconditional sovereignty of the nation, and the glory and honor of the Republic of Turkey,' is showing with all his words and actions that he prefers the reputation of baby killers over the lives of babies and the tears of mothers, the pain of sick and needy citizens over his family's money and power, and the honor and dignity of the Turkish nation over millions of rootless, stateless people; furthermore, he is showing that he will continue this conscious plan to the end.

This 'structure,' which it is now unnecessary to even call a government, has completely lost its legitimacy. Yes, this government is illegitimate!

Those in power are illegitimate! I am addressing all public officials who perform their duties with the authority they receive from the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Turkey: 'The person occupying the Presidency and the superiors and commanders he has appointed at his discretion, together with their political partners and collaborators, are not fulfilling their responsibilities toward the founding values and principles of our state and the Turkish nation. In accordance with the principle of unlawful orders, the orders and instructions they have given in line with this plan from this day forward are also illegitimate.

So much so that the dimension reached by this sultanate, which has lowered itself to the point of converting every moral and conscientious value into money, in order to maintain its personal power and ambition and to settle the unfinished accounts of the occupiers of 1918 by carrying out a more treacherous and more radical destruction, is clearly and audaciously manifesting itself in the fact that the refugee bargain made with the German Chancellor can be spoken of without hesitation on live broadcast while the country is struggling with 10 million illegal migrants.

For this reason, what we have lost at this point is not just democracy! What we are losing is not just the Republic, nor its institutions, rules, and laws, nor our hope to rebuild this Republic with justice. It is the threat and danger of a very great nation that has become part of history and has existed in every period of history losing its state for the first time in history.

In short, what we are facing is not, unlike the days of occupation we experienced 106 years ago, the enemy coming with its flag and army and aiming its bullets and bayonets at our hearts.

It is the greatest, basest, and most powerful of the betrayals we have experienced in history. At this point, the methods of betrayal they learned from July 15 are merging with the inspiration they certainly took from the occupation days of 1918.

This is why the decision and determination of the Turkish nation and every Turkish individual to fight is vital, cannot be postponed, and cannot be abandoned. This destruction plan, which no longer feels the need to hide or mask itself, is beyond the presidential system relations that emerged with the excuse of the coup night, where they preferred to trample on the homeland because they could not share it among themselves, and which was established with a simple alliance.

We see, we read, and we understand that the collaborators who have tied the party of the late Alparslan Türkeş, who carried three crescents on his flag and dedicated his life to the existence of the Turkish nation and the indivisible integrity of the Republic, to the tutelage of the palace, have also become the voice of a terrible betrayal in a great state of negligence. And more gravely, they have lost their minds and reason to such an extent that they have gone mad enough to invite the murderer of fifty thousand of our people, the primary perpetrator of the undying tears of tens of thousands of Turkish and Kurdish mothers, the chief subcontractor of the plans to divide the Turkish State, that is, the traitor of İmralı, to the Grand National Assembly. Madness is the mildest term that can describe the uprising we watched yesterday. Because there can be no other explanation for being able to bring the Turkish Nationalism they never leave off their tongues so close to treason against Turkishness, for being able to risk this, and for being able to pollute those 'great' names that were whispered into their ears with the call to prayer in such a way.

There can be no other explanation for this situation to which the founding philosophy of the Republic, that is, Turkish Nationalism, is being dragged. The baby-killing terrorist is to come to the parliament and speak at the DEM group meeting, and declare that terrorism is over. Get out of here. This is Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's Parliament, this is where the Republic of Turkey was founded, this is the sole manifestation of National Sovereignty. That traitor cannot enter this parliament without stepping over our corpses. We are facing a CHP administration that, like those who make the Three Crescents a tool for this betrayal, is in the negligence of including the Six Arrows in this non-national consensus, and without understanding the nature of the favor shown and the message given by the voters on March 31, is attempting to spend the cherished memory of Mustafa Kemal, the Republic, and the unitary state like a spendthrift at a gambling table.

Seeing those who formed an alliance in İmralı, they have been seized by the panic of boarding the government train and have become so confused and diminished that they would ask for permission from Edirne to go to Diyarbakır. They have almost caught up with and even surpassed the state of insanity observed in society, and by attempting to offer this state and Republic, for which Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and our hundreds of thousands of cherished martyrs and veterans spent their ideas and lives as mortar for every brick, like a fruit plucked from their fathers' garden, by attempting to share it like meat distributed at a sacrifice, and by trying to distribute it like the alms they forgot to give, they have rushed to prove that they are the new component of the final destruction plan.

The fact that the Chairman of the Republican People's Party has been whistling while looking at the sky for days and weeks, and today his delirium of 'I am also in the race for privileges for the traitor' is a greed for power that deserves to be cursed. Look at the answer he gave to Devlet Bahçeli, he says he is raising the stakes. Is Turkey a gambling table? See, the reason why we want center politics is hidden here. Personalized political ambitions and goals have disabled the common sense, and politics has swung from one extreme to the other.

A historical responsibility awaits the İYİ Party. The İYİ Party must be the meeting center of our national and spiritual values and the embrace area for all political ideas for the benefit of the country. From now on, this is Ötüken, this is Malazgirt, this is Çanakkale, this is Sakarya, this is Kocatepe. I call on everyone to meet under this sacred roof.

The state has been rendered helpless because of those in power. The institutions of the Republic have been made dysfunctional. Yesterday, those who were carried to power with their friends abroad, the founders of democracy and opening processes, are today knocking on the same doors again to remain in those positions, and this time, by beating the drums of threat and fear, they are mocking our intelligence and pride with a so-called occupation threat. We know that those foreign powers and this internal front were always together, partners, and in cooperation. Now, they are shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm on a path that aims for the complete abolition of the Republic and the destruction of the Turkish nation by reducing it to a minority.

Everything that is happening exactly today clearly shows that the Turkish nation will make a decision.

Either it will exist with its history and identity, with the Republic ideal inherited from Mustafa Kemal, or it will be destroyed by force and fraud by the one-man, his partner, and his collaborators."
