The program organized by the AK Party Bursa Provincial Presidency for Eid al-Adha was attended by AK Party Deputy Chairman Efkan Ala, along with deputies Vefa Salman, Mustafa Yavuz, and Emel Gözükara Durmaz, Acting Provincial Chairman Mehmet Emin Kasapoğlu, People's Alliance stakeholders, and numerous party members. Messages of national unity were as prominent as current political topics during the holiday gathering.
“WE ARE IN A NEW ERA FOR A TURKEY WITHOUT TERROR”
Addressing party members at the meeting, Efkan Ala emphasized that Turkey has entered a new phase in its fight against terrorism. Ala stated, "We have reached a new stage in the terror issue, which has opened deep wounds in Turkey's past and negatively affected people's lives. We have set the goal of a 'Turkey without terror' together with the People's Alliance. We will certainly achieve this goal by working together, and by shedding our shackles, we will walk toward our goals with firm steps, in the brotherhood of 86.5 million people," he said.
Reminding the audience of Turkey's regional and global responsibilities, Ala pointed to the necessity of thinking big: "We have a responsibility not only to ourselves but also to our brothers and sisters in our heartland. As a country that carries the legacy of the Ottoman Empire, we cannot think small," he expressed.
TO THE CHP: “SOLVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS FIRST”
Touching upon the "absolute nullity" debates within the Republican People's Party (CHP) during the Eid al-Adha gathering, Efkan Ala invited the opposition to be sincere and constructive. Criticizing the party, Ala said, "There may not be a strong alternative in Turkey, but there is an opposition. However, we see that the opposition cannot cope with its own issues and directly blames us or our President. The one complaining is a CHP member, and the one being complained about is also a CHP member. They have carried their problems to state institutions and courts. Yet, they should first turn and solve their own internal problems so that we can have an opposition that can focus on the country's issues."
Ala's words, "Do not blame us, seek solutions," drew attention. Bringing up various difficulties faced by the opposition, the AK Party Deputy Chairman also implicitly referred to allegations of corruption and illicit relations in municipalities.
HE ALSO EMPHASIZED THE SUFFERING IN GAZA AND ARAKAN
In his speech, AK Party Deputy Chairman Ala underscored that Turkey also shows sensitivity toward the oppressed of the world. "We are celebrating the holiday with a heavy heart today. Because our brothers and sisters in Gaza are suffering. Similarly, there are Muslims being persecuted in Arakan. When we sit down, part of our mind is on the geography stretching from the Balkans to the Middle East. This is our political genetics. We do not act with imported ideas," he stated.
