Erdogan Celebrates AKP Anniversary
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Justice and Development Party, emphasizing that the party aims to make Turkey a strong democratic country, a leading economy, and an advanced technological hub, with an influential foreign policy and solid social solidarity. He clarified that the party began its journey 25 years ago in cooperation with the people to transform Turkey's future—then facing political and economic crises and pressures from guardianship mentality—into a nation that makes its own decisions and builds trust between the state and its citizens. He pointed out that transforming Turkey into a country that sets its goals and trusts its capabilities was the result of strengthening democratic legitimacy, especially after the attempted coup in 2016, when the people defended their elected will. He highlighted that investments in education, healthcare, transportation, energy, and steps in defense industries and advanced technology—including drones and warships—have contributed to reducing dependence on external sources and enhancing technological capabilities. He also affirmed that Turkey has become an influential actor in the international system by diversifying its external relations and safeguarding its interests through a multidimensional approach based on diplomacy and dialogue. Turkey now contributes to achieving peace and stability across wide regions. Furthermore, he underscored the importance of solid institutions and national solidarity, especially in facing the wounds caused by the 2023 earthquake, promising to continue reforms to strengthen the economy, achieve prosperity, and provide fair opportunities for youth, all while maintaining the will for ongoing change.
