President Erdogan Discusses Politics and Infrastructure in Live Broadcast

President Erdoğan answered the questions of Channel 7 Editor-in-Chief Zahid Akman and Ülke TV Editor-in-Chief Hasan Öztürk in the joint live broadcast he attended.

Stating that they will put the Ankara-Sivas High Speed ​​​​Train line into service today in the last part of the program, Erdoğan said, “I would like to thank you very much. I ask my forgiveness from all our citizens who watch us on their screens. Today we have the Ankara-Sivas High Speed ​​​​Train opening. “We will do it, especially in Sivas. We wish good luck to the citizens of all these provinces. I hope to be together tomorrow,” he said.

Highlights from Erdogan’s statements;

“Thank you very much. First of all, we will not hold an ordinary election on May 14. In these elections, it will be decided whether the climate of trust and stability will continue. It will be decided whether the period of work of the last twenty years will continue or whether Turkey will return to the coalition period. It will also be decided whether the struggle will continue. Opposition partners support terrorists. Terrorists in prison and escaping abroad are currently waiting for these elections. There are even those who buy plane tickets.

‘WE REDUCE THE RATE OF FOREIGN DEPENDENCE TO 20 PERCENT’

There are those who are waiting for a position of authority for them. This means that they took a promise from the 9th coalition, not the 7th coalition. The steps we take in the Defense Industry are disturbing people as before. This is true not only inside, but also outside. They want those who want to make Turkey dependent on them again win this election. For 21 years, we have struggled for a Turkey that can determine and implement its own policies in every field. With this understanding, we strengthened our democracy. We have truly established the supremacy of the national will. We brought the deficiencies of all our infrastructure from education to industry. We have truly passed the age of our country. The welfare of our nation has increased. Our budget has tripled. We reduced the foreign dependency ratio in our defense industry to 20 percent.

“DID THEY GIVE WHAT HAPPENED?”

We have more work for this country, we have a long way to go. But we are on the way. At the moment, the disgrace alliance is not on its way. They have metropolitan municipalities. What else did they do in these metropolitan municipalities? We always appear before our nation with good news and projects in normal times. Like Mr. Mr. Kemal, we are not the ones who confront our nation only during election times. For example, they promised each farmer a tractor. What did they give? Always lie.

‘I HAVE A COLD DUE TO MY HASSLE WORK’

First of all, good luck to you, yesterday and today, there was intense campaign work. That’s why I got a cold. I was even thinking if we should cancel the show. But we promised and here we are. I wish you and our audience the best of luck. We have a rich human structure. The fact that I’m driving my friends in the cabinet right now into the field is actually this leadership savings. As a leadership saving, I have put all my fellow ministers on the field with the thought of where and how we can benefit from these friends. Among them, the only exception is the Minister of Culture and Tourism. The reason why he is not in the field at the moment is his profession. All my friends except him are on the field. I see the benefits of their being on the field very positive. And I believe that we will benefit from these friends who are mainly in earthquake zones.

”OUR CITIZENS WILL UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS IT PROVIDES”

We are taking measures to comfort our citizens, and we will continue to do so. We make the possibilities of our country in arrangements that will give to each individual of our nation. In this context, we took care not to reflect the increase in energy prices to our citizens during the epidemic period. As a country that is now a natural gas producer, we have new good news for our citizens this year. Our citizens will realize the benefits of Black Sea gas in their daily life. In this, we are expanding its scope. The reflection of Black Sea gas on all my citizens will be very, very different.

“WE WILL DELIVER TO OUR CITIZENS WITHIN 1 YEAR”

First of all, there are duties that belong to the Supreme Election Board, there are duties that belong to us as political parties. But if we plan what has been done about the earthquake zone. We can organize this under three headings, tent and container cities, especially now permanent residences. Currently, our debris removal work continues intensively. We have completed most of the debris removal works almost everywhere except Hatay. We will finish Hatay in a short time. On the other hand, I made a promise. We will deliver these permanent residences to our citizens within 1 year.

”WE HAVE ANKARA-SİVAS HIGH-SPEED TRAIN OPENING”

Especially thank you very much. I also ask for forgiveness from all our citizens who watch us on their screens. Tomorrow we have Ankara-Sivas High Speed ​​​​Train opening. We will do it both in Yozgat, Kırıkkale and Sivas. We wish good luck to the citizens of all these provinces. Hoping to be together tomorrow.”
