Speaking at the drawing ceremony for the 109th Term District Governorship Course, President Erdoğan said: “Our guide and compass in state administration is the principle of ‘Let the people live so that the state lives’. We cannot allow the slightest compromise or deviation from this principle, which is the main pillar of our state.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the drawing ceremony for the 109th Term District Governorship Course in Ankara.
A ‘bureaucratic oligarchy’ that looks down on its citizens and sees some citizens as a source of threat has no place in our vision of the state. The state is at the service of the nation and the public servant is a servant of the nation. Our guide and compass in state administration is the principle of ‘Let the people live so that the state lives’. This is the fundamental principle that sustained and supported the Ottoman Empire for 6 centuries. We cannot allow the slightest compromise or deviation from this principle, which is the main pillar of our state,” President Erdoğan said.
