Kılıçdaroğlu said, “Politics is based on lifestyle; we said there is no head uncovered, there is no head covered, all the energy went through that. Politics also went through that. We did not think about how the country would grow. We did “Don’t think about how the country would develop.” he said he
Kılıçdaroğlu attended the June meeting of the Rising Türkiye Institute and spoke about Turkey’s goals. Süheyl Batum, Teyfik Altınok, Bülent Kuşoğlu, Metin Lütfü Baydar and Metin Işık also took part in the meeting.
Kılıçdaroğlu emphasized that Turkey’s policy based on faith and identity prevents it from achieving its main goals and said, “This is the reason and philosophy of the establishment of the six-party table. Brother, are we living in this country? Yes. Do we “live together? Yes. I should be at peace too, so should you.” “Then why are we fighting?” he said.
Kılıçdaroğlu also stated that Turkey remains weak in the fight against corruption and said, “Our biggest problem is not holding accountable. Unless you hold accountable for the taxes we pay, democracy will not develop in Turkey.” he said
Headlines from Kemal Kilicdaroglu’s Speech:
- Politics Through Identity:“Only the Almighty Creator knows who is a believer and who is not. But people fought and conflicted because you are a believer, you are a non-believer, you are Alevi, you are Aunni, you are this, you are that.”
- Peace and Relations with Neighbours:“We are thinking ‘what should we do, what should we do’ to make peace with Syria. It will happen, we will make peace. Because they will make us reconcile. They will make us fight, and if there is peace, they will make us reconcile.”
- Parliament and Corruptions:“Has there been a law in any parliament in the world that says no investigation into corruption can be made? We did too. In fact, does a parliament that passes a law saying that no investigation or prosecution can be made against a corrupt person have any credibility?
- Taxes and Planning:“Unless you ask for an account of the taxes we pay, democracy will not develop in Turkey. You will plan every field. What will happen in agriculture? What will happen in industry? What will happen in universities? You will plan every field. “
