Dr. Fatih Erbakan, Chairman of the Welfare Party, made striking statements about the increasing number of child and woman murders, social dissolution, digital threats and individual armament. Emphasizing \u201cmorality and spirituality first\u201d, Erbakan called for a comprehensive change from education to media, from family structure to security policies.<\/p>\n
In a program on Lider TV with Ay\u015feg\u00fcl \u015eeng\u00fcl, Erbakan stated that the recent incidents of violence against children and women have caused deep wounds in the society and pointed out that these developments are not isolated, but the result of structural problems.<\/p>\n
\u2018RAISING A GENERATION THAT IS NOT MATERIALISTIC BUT SPIRITUALISTIC IS VERY IMPORTANT\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Expressing his condolences to the citizens, students and the education community who lost their lives, Erbakan said that the events that took place contained serious warnings about the general course of society:<\/p>\n \u201cMorality and spirituality first, that is, it is very important to raise a generation that is not materialistic but spiritualistic. It is very important to raise a generation that prioritizes the hereafter, not the world. And at the same time, it is extremely important to have an education system with a curriculum based on self-training. In other words, from the age of 11-12, which is the age when a young person is responsible for religion, the age when he starts to be responsible. From this age, it is important that he grows up with the awareness of halal and haram, that he knows that the punishment for killing an innocent person, God forbid, will be hell, and that he grows up with the awareness of compassion for this creation. In other words, it is extremely important for him to know that he is obliged to show this compassion to all creatures, human beings, living creatures, every human being, Muslim or non-Muslim.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018WE MUST ALSO PROTECT OUR SPIRITUAL HOMELAND\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAs the Welfare Party again, we always say this, we have a discourse called spiritual homeland. We need to protect our spiritual homeland. Yes, the blue homeland is very important, the sky is very important. Our forests, our greens, our greenery, our green homeland is very important. It is very important to protect and preserve our terrestrial homeland, our land. But the spiritual homeland is also very important. Because we always say that if you lose a land, God forbid, you can regain that land by fighting and shedding your blood. If you lose money, as a country, as a nation, you can earn that money again by working and shedding sweat. But if you lose a generation, it is very difficult, even impossible, to regain it. In this respect, of course, parents have very important duties. But it is of utmost importance that the education and curriculum should prioritize the hereafter and raise generations that are spiritual instead of materialistic, and that they should raise generations based on self-cultivation instead of bondage to the ego.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018TV SHOWS AND GAMES NORMALIZE VIOLENCE\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Stating that such incidents cannot be explained only by security measures, Erbakan said that the normalization of violence in TV series and digital content, the glorification of mafia culture and publications that make criminal elements look attractive have negative effects on young people:<\/p>\n \u201cIt is extremely important that TV shows, especially violent TV series, TV programs, unfortunately TV series that show mafia leaders almost like heroes, TV series that normalize killing people and show that mafia-like people who live in this way, who kill people, live in luxury and pomp and have very good opportunities, it is really important that the programs are inspected by RT\u00dcK and necessary measures are taken.\u201d<\/p>\n SUPPORT FOR SOCIAL MEDIA BAN<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAlong with this, of course, social media is very important. The introduction of a ban on social media under the age of 15-16, although certain circles express this as a restriction of freedom, this really needs to be done. The ruling wing, the People's Alliance side brought such a law proposal to parliament. We see examples of this in Australia, France and many other countries. Indeed, it is a great danger, a great threat for 12, 13, 14, 15-year-old children to access this content on social media. Lastly, I would like to say that necessary measures need to be taken in terms of armament. Although not as much as in the US, this social armament and individual armament has unfortunately become widespread in our country as well.\u201d<\/p>\n DRUG SWAMP MUST BE DRAINED<\/strong><\/p>\n Stating that drug use is one of the most important factors threatening the social structure, Erbakan said that substance addiction has devastating effects on individuals and added: \u201cWe don't know whether he was under the influence of drugs or not, but these substances have very serious negative effects. In recent times, unfortunately, we have encountered cases of people who murdered their family members, even their mothers and fathers, and did so under the influence of drugs. At this point, of course, it is extremely important to fight against the barons, to carry out an effective struggle at all costs with the people at the head of this business who bring drugs into Turkey and trade them.\u201d.<\/p>\n \u2018DEATH PENALTY SHOULD BE PUT ON THE AGENDA AGAIN\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Regarding the G\u00fclistan Doku investigation, Erbakan stated that the deterrence against crimes committed against women and innocent people should be increased and that putting the death penalty back on the agenda is an important topic:<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, it is of utmost importance that the murder of G\u00fclistan Doku and the incident in Tunceli are investigated and the perpetrators are uncovered, no matter who they are, just as the current investigation has accelerated in the new period. In other words, it is alleged that the son of the governor was involved. No matter whoever is involved in such an incident, no matter what his\/her authority is, he\/she must be dealt with and the perpetrators must be revealed. As the Welfare Party, we have been expressing for a long time that the death penalty should be put back on the agenda as a deterrent measure, especially in relation to these incidents of violence and murder against women and innocent people. We think that even if the death penalty is at least in force, even if its implementation is very difficult and subject to very serious conditions, it will have a significant deterrent effect.\u201d<\/p>\n EARLY ELECTION PLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n Erbakan, who also made evaluations regarding the discussions on midterm and early elections, claimed that there was a demand from citizens for early elections and called for early elections in the fall of 2026 or spring of 2027:<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, today, even the surveys of polling firms, which we can now characterize as close to the government, reveal that there is a demand for early elections by more than 60 percent, some by 70 percent, and that the nation has such a desire. For this reason, we always express that this request of the nation should be heeded and an early election should be held in the fall of 2026 or spring of 2027. And as the Yeniden Refah Partisi, we try to keep our organizations alive and make preparations every Sunday as if the election will be held this Sunday.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, what Mr. \u00d6zel said about the by-election here is Article 79 of the constitution. The constitution says that a by-election is held for the vacant parliamentary seats 2.5 years after the election and more than a year before the next election, meaning the period we are currently in. At the moment, there is a shortage of 8 deputies in the parliament and the constitution states that a by-election should be held as a requirement of the constitution. They have also consulted with the lawyers and experts. They express such an opinion as a party. Of course, rather than by-elections, we should of course abide by the constitution. We are a party coming from the National Vision tradition. We always respect the law. Even when the Welfare Party was shut down, the restraint and law-abiding stance of Mr. Erbakan is always talked about everywhere. We respect the constitution. If there is a by-election, we will not say no to that either. But we also believe that an early election should be held in the fall of 2026 or the spring of 2027. Because the economic conditions and the demand of the nation make us think that such an election is necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018WE HAVE NO DAM PROBLEM\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Asked whether they would form an alliance in a possible early election, Erbakan gave the following striking answer:<\/p>\n “Tabii biz Yeniden Refah Partisi olarak T\u00fcrkiye’nin se\u00e7imlerdeki (yerel se\u00e7imler) oy oran\u0131 bak\u0131m\u0131ndan da 3. b\u00fcy\u00fck partisi olduk. %6.98 yani %7’lik bir oy oran\u0131na ula\u015ft\u0131k. Bu \u00f6nemli bir \u00e7\u0131k\u0131\u015ft\u0131 ve \u00fcye say\u0131s\u0131 bak\u0131m\u0131ndan da T\u00fcrkiye’nin 3. b\u00fcy\u00fck partisiyiz. AK Parti ve CHP’nin arkas\u0131ndan 660 bine yak\u0131n bir \u00fcyeyle h\u0131zla 700 bine do\u011fru gidiyoruz. T\u00fcrkiye’nin 3. b\u00fcy\u00fck partisiyiz. Biz yerel se\u00e7imlerde %7 oy ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda 520 bin \u00fcyemiz vard\u0131. 520 bin \u00fcyeyle %7 oy ald\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131za g\u00f6re 660 bin \u00fcyeyle bunun \u00e7ok daha \u00fczerinde bir oy alaca\u011f\u0131m\u0131za inan\u0131yoruz, ifade edebilirim. Yani %10 seviyesinde bir oyumuz oldu\u011funa ger\u00e7ekten de inan\u0131yorum. Burada televizyonda oldu\u011fum i\u00e7in s\u00f6ylemiyorum. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc 520 bin \u00fcyeyle %7 oy alan, yani \u00fcye say\u0131s\u0131n\u0131n hemen hemen 6 kat\u0131 oy ald\u0131k.”<\/p>\n \u2018IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET AROUND 10 PERCENT OF THE VOTE\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n “\u015eimdi de 660 bini 6 ile \u00e7arparsan\u0131z dedi\u011fim gibi %10 civar\u0131nda bir oy almam\u0131z son derece m\u00fcmk\u00fcn. Dolay\u0131s\u0131yla bir ittifak aray\u0131\u015f\u0131 i\u00e7inde olan bir parti durumunda de\u011filiz. Ancak ittifaklara da kap\u0131m\u0131z\u0131 kapatm\u0131yoruz. Yine de biz %10’da olsak, %15’de olsak bir sinerji olu\u015fmas\u0131 ve daha g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc bir blok ortaya konulmas\u0131, belki ortak bir cumhurba\u015fkan\u0131 aday\u0131yla o g\u00f6sterilecek cumhurba\u015fkan\u0131 aday\u0131n\u0131n daha da g\u00fc\u00e7l\u00fc bir \u015fekilde ortaya \u00e7\u0131kmas\u0131 bak\u0131m\u0131ndan bu sayd\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131z partilerle bir ittifak\u0131n s\u00f6z konusu olabilece\u011fini de ifade ediyoruz. Ama bu bizim dedi\u011fim gibi baraj endi\u015femizden dolay\u0131 kaynaklanan bir \u015fey de\u011fil. Ama buna ra\u011fmen de Saadet Partisi ile de Say\u0131n Genel Ba\u015fkan\u0131 ile de Genel Ba\u015fkan Yard\u0131mc\u0131lar\u0131 d\u00fczeyinde de g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fmelerimiz oldu\u011fu halen de devam ediyor. Se\u00e7ime yak\u0131n d\u00f6nemde bunlar\u0131n daha da netle\u015fece\u011fini ve \u015fekillenece\u011fini ifade edebilirim.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fatih Erbakan, leader of the Welfare Party, emphasized that the increasing incidents of violence are based on structural reasons and emphasized \u201cmorality and spirituality first\u201d.
