It is time to put aside all the debates and conflicts regarding the election period and unite around our national goals.” used his statements.
The President said, “The number of CHP deputies in 2018 was 146. In 2023, there is an increase in the number of deputies to 169, as you can see, but there are rental deputies here, 40 leased deputies. He gave 40 leased deputies to parties that received 1 percent of the vote. Number 129 “You can’t say 129 is bigger. You probably can’t say let’s go to those who reduced the number of these deputies. These people did not swallow those who shot the video with the ones in Kandil. Those who said come on, 17 deputies have fallen,” he said.
Erdogan said, “What my brothers were saying, if you want to remove Selo, you will vote for me. My nation knows well that this terrorist who killed 51 Kurdish brothers in Diyarbakir is Selo. “You cannot bring Selo out as you wish. It is not possible for such a thing to develop under our rule. In our government, justice is the essence of property,” he said.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said: “The ballot boxes have been closed, phone chains have started to flow. Everyone from the Gulf to England and Russia have conveyed their congratulations. We see that these congratulations will continue tomorrow. They lost. You saw the alliances formed against us, you saw who stood up against us from terrorist organizations to deviant currents. Despite this, they did not succeed, I hope they will not succeed from now on.” he said.
President Erdoğan said, “At the moment, the interest rate has been reduced to 8.5. You will see that inflation will also decrease. They keep watch at the door of the IMF. We are meeting with the IMF President in Davos, then we owe 23.5 billion dollars. “We paid off Turkey’s debts until 2013, and then we’re done with the IMF,” he said.
IT WAS ALSO TALKED TO CITIZENS IN KISIKLI

“I would like to thank each and every member of our nation, who once again entrusted us with the responsibility of governing the country for the next 5 years with the choice they made. I hope we will be worthy of your trust, we will be worthy as we deserve for 21 years. What did I say: ‘We will be together until the grave, not until the market. ‘ ‘This love does not end here.’ We said, Is that so? Now look, they say ‘Bye bye Kemal’. We always say, ‘This blessed walk will not be unfinished.’ We always said, ‘He who serves is not defeated.’ We always said, ‘Türkiye is entrusted to us, and we are entrusted to Turkey.’ We said.
President Erdoğan said that the presidential election on 28 May was the expression of the love between him and the nation shaped in the fire of democracy.

“I am making an account from here to Turkey. ‘I am an account expert.’ He was saying… Do you know what the CHP’s deputies were in 2018? 146. In 2023, the CHP’s deputies increased to 169, that is, in this election. How much? 40. So what happened? Now the CHP has dropped to 129. The account expert knows these things very well. So, probably the CHP will hold this account to Mr. Mr. Kemal because of the deputies they lost. We say that the 14 May election will also be held. The winner of the 28 May election is all of our 85 million citizens.
“TODAY, THE ONLY TURKEY IS WINNING”
Reminding that he said one more thing, Erdogan said, “‘We will win in such a way that no one will lose.’ We said, “Then only Turkey wins today. We have now opened the door of the Century of Turkey without compromising our democracy, development and goals, but we opened it together.

“The election results have shown once again that no one can covet the gains of this country.” Erdogan said, “Now the countries of the world are calling. My brother, President of Azerbaijan, Ilham just called. My brother, President of Uzbekistan, Şevket Mirziyoyev, called. The Prime Minister of Libya called. They are calling one after the other. And they say, ‘If necessary, announce, invite, and we will come right now. ‘ Because this victory is with us both in the West and in the Gulf… Qatar seeks it, and it also shares this happiness.” said.
President Erdoğan said: “No one can reach out to the rights and freedoms of our people. No one can look down on our nation or insult our people. They cannot drag our youth into their own abysmal darkness. No one can point a finger at Turkey. For this reason, no vehicle can sway our feet from the terrorist organization to dark places. No one can break our nation’s determination to be one, to be big, to be alive, to be brothers, to be Turkey all together.” used his statements.
To the citizens in the area, “My brothers, let’s shout so loud that Ankara can hear it. All districts of Istanbul can hear it.” Erdogan said:

Can it infiltrate other members of the People’s Alliance? Here, remember, Yunus said, ‘We are always reborn, who gets tired of us.’ As he said, every choice is a rebirth for us. Our family is sacred. No one can speak out against the family. Violence against women is forbidden in us, it is haram. No one can resort to this and we will squeeze your neck.”
