What we will remember when everything is over will be the silence of our friends despite the harsh words of our enemies. I would like to express this once again to friends, to those we know as a friend“.

“Our goal is to build a Turkey where the Kurdish issue is fully resolved and there will be no terrorism and violence. Our goal is not to make Turkey a refugee warehouse and to solve the migration issue in cooperation with Europe. And our goal is to make our country a full member of the European Union. We continue this fight with determination“The president of the CHP added.
