Ömer Çelik speaks after MYK meeting: Is there a problem in the People's Alliance?

Çelik spoke after the MYK meeting. Here are the highlights from the statements made by AKP's Çelik:

Almost all of Gaza is in ruins. We are closely following the situation of our citizens in the region. Turkey has once again shown that it is the conscience of the world.

The patients brought to Turkey so far are an example of this. Governments are in a state of great hypocrisy. Two voices are the exception; one is Spain, the other is Belgium.

Every state has the right to defend itself, but when you say this while Israel is committing a massacre, it means 'Kill more people.'

The stance of the prime ministers of Spain and Belgium has been a democratic approach that listens to the voices on their own streets, and it is commendable. Focusing on managing the consequences of an issue without focusing on its causes is not strategic thinking. The values that Europe must protect are not values that should only be protected when Europe's own interests are at stake.

"NETANYAHU REFERENCED THE TORAH"

- There is such a thing as political literacy; a politician must at least correctly understand what is being said and construct their response accordingly. Israel's massacres have been unconditionally supported by Westerners and carried out with religious arguments. Netanyahu referenced the Torah. Our President warned, saying, 'Do not turn this into a crusade-crescent conflict.' What Netanyahu is doing is disrespectful to those who believe in the Torah. Our President has long been saying that he is against antisemitism and that Islamophobia must also be fought.

"TODAY, NEUTRALITY MEANS BEING A SECRET SUPPORTER OF THE MASSACRE"

- Today, neutrality means being a secret supporter of the massacre. There is a need for an urgent ceasefire, and this ceasefire must be continuous. Our expectation and hope is that the ceasefire will be permanent. Palestine, though not Israel, is a party to the Rome Statute. There is no difference between what Netanyahu is doing and what the Nazis did. Netanyahu has a policy of genocide, killing a person just because they are Palestinian. This genocide must certainly be investigated and punished.

TURKEY'S PLAN TO PURCHASE EUROFIGHTERS

- What they must not forget is this: while Turkey ensures its own security as a sovereign country, it also ensures the security of NATO as a NATO member. If Turkey is not secure, NATO would be in a state of great deficiency and weakness, and the security of Europe would also be out of the question. The situation we are facing is a hypocritical one. The issue of Turkey's security is not a matter of blackmail. We can sit down and negotiate, but Turkey is not a country that will bow to blackmail.

CHP'S ÖZEL'S STATEMENT ON KURDISH VOTERS

- The season for exploiting Kurdish voters has opened in the CHP. In the last elections, they actually told lies to Kurdish voters with the protocols they signed. One day we will tell what kind of threats our President has faced; we know very well.

IS THERE A PROBLEM IN THE PEOPLE'S ALLIANCE?

- There is no problem in the People's Alliance. It is preparing for the local elections in the strongest way possible. The talks between the AK Party and the MHP have continued at a steady pace. Of course, all parties come together while preserving their own identities. I have stated many times that the alliance has come together based on fundamental principles. There is no problem. Tactical issues may be discussed, but this does not damage the main backbone of the People's Alliance.

"WE WISH FOR THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND ARMENIA TO RESULT IN AN AGREEMENT"

- We wish for the negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia to result in an agreement. It will contribute greatly to regional peace. In the Karabakh war, Azerbaijan regained its own lands. So what will happen after this? We support the positive progress of the negotiations.
