CHP Edirne Deputy Ahmet Baran Yazgan, regarding the discussions on softening in politics, said, “If it is to be overthrown, the AKP government will be overthrown, and the Republic of Turkey will survive forever. We put our body, not our hands, “Under the responsibility for our country, but we do not move a muscle for the CHP is not and cannot be anyone’s savior, buttress or spare wheel.” “said he.
Statements of CHP Deputy Ahmet Baran Yazgan
In his written statement, Yazgan reminds that the process, also known as “softening in politics”, started with the initiative of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, and that his party will continue its policy to defend the rights of all segments of society, especially laborers , workers and retirees, and to cooperate with political parties on reasonable grounds to prevent polarization. Stating that he held meetings, he said:
- We neither hold back from explaining the economic, cultural and political situation of Turkey frankly, nor do we ignore the responsibility of the political power and its junior partner in this.
- The steps taken by our party, CHP, are a requirement not only of criticism but also of constructive politics.
- No one should confuse our work to correct the wrongs and raise our country to the level of contemporary civilizations in the light of Ataturk’s principles and revolutions, with taking responsibility for the mistakes and shifting the responsibility to the opposition.
“IF IT IS TO BE OVERTURNED, THE AKP GOVERNMENT WILL BE OVERTURNED”
We call out to those who confuse being in political power with being a state and those who try to combine their political fortune with the state; If it is to be overthrown, the AKP government will be overthrown, and the Republic of Turkey will survive forever. We put our body, not our hands, under the responsibility for our country, but we do not move a muscle for the AKP. CHP is not and cannot be anyone’s savior, support or spare tire.
We will continue to bring the problems of our citizens to the agenda, in all their nakedness, without intimidation, and to explain the solutions. We promise good days to our people who trusted in themselves and made CHP the first party of Turkey on March 31.
