President Erdoğan speaks at TUSAŞ helicopter delivery ceremony: 'If they have an Iron Dome, we have a Steel Dome'

President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at the T625 Gökbey Helicopter Delivery Ceremony.

Making a statement regarding the attack carried out by the PKK on the TUSAŞ campus, Erdoğan said, "Such treacherous attacks can never break our resolve and determination in the fight against terrorism, nor can they set us back or turn us away from our path. We are never complacent about eliminating the terrorist threat against our country at its source. Whether within our borders or beyond them, no one can stop us from eliminating any element of threat against our country wherever we identify it," he stated.

"WE WILL DEPLOY EVERY MEANS NECESSARY"

Stating, "We will not hesitate to utilize all the resources available in our country and to deploy every means necessary to end terrorism," Erdoğan said the following:

"Thanks to our counter-terrorism concept in recent years, we have dealt very heavy blows to the separatist terrorist organization, and we are not giving any breathing room to the terrorists nested beyond our borders. We are fortifying the security of the Iraqi border with Operation Claw-Lock. With the operations in Syria, we have pushed the terrorist structure in the south away from our border cities. We will continue this struggle in a multidimensional manner until we reach our goal of a country and a region free of terrorism."

Using the phrase, "While doing this, we will not fall for the games of the terror barons and their bosses who use them as subcontractors," Erdoğan noted: "Our 40 years of experience have taught us that the true aim of terrorism is to dynamite the eternal and everlasting brotherhood of our nation. We can only prevent this by increasing the resilience of our internal front. As 85 million people, in unity, solidarity, and brotherhood, we will live side by side in peace and tranquility on these lands for many more centuries, just as we have for centuries."

"THE LAST GASPS OF THE SEPARATIST ORGANIZATION"

Saying, "I want our TUSAŞ employees to keep their hearts at ease regarding one matter," Erdoğan noted: "Such treacherous and cowardly acts are the last gasps of the separatist organization. There is and will never be any place for terrorism or violence in the future of our region or our country. Our state is stronger than both these herds of murderers and the masters who hold their leashes. It possesses more than enough power to deal with them all and to crush them."

Touching upon the attacks carried out by Israel in the Middle East, President Erdoğan said, 'If they have an Iron Dome, we have a Steel Dome'.
