Continuing on his path to a stronger Türkiye with our nation's support and trust, our President gave signals of a new beginning on the world stage with his strategically important moves."
In the foreword, it is stated that Türkiye is not only capable of overcoming its own crises but also capable of responding to global crises with its own means, thanks to investments and strategic moves befitting its new century; furthermore, it is stated that the earthquakes, which were dubbed the "Disaster of the Century" and claimed the lives of citizens, were the most traumatic event of the year.
It is stated that the state mobilised all its means during the disaster, the wounds of the earthquake were healed, cities were rebuilt, and in addition, the following statements are made:
“This disaster, unprecedented in the world, reawakened our nation's unity and solidarity, as well as our country's stability and strength. Effective steps have also been taken to combat disinformation, which has become a global problem during this process. The negative consequences of fake news and misinformation have become more apparent in the military, political, and social spheres.
Very valuable steps have been taken in the technology and defence industries, with domestic and national projects developed under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, our President, continues his endeavours unabated for 2023. He attended 51 inauguration and promotion ceremonies, 4 award ceremonies, and 85 domestic and 2 international visits in the first six months of 2023. There were 107 domestic receptions and six Ambassador credentials were accepted.
Our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan achieved an absolute victory by increasing his votes in the Presidential and 28th term Parliamentary Elections on May 14, as well as the Presidential election on May 28. With the vision of the Century of Türkiye and with the support of our nation, our President, who said "keep going", has achieved a historical success by eliminating all the games played on Türkiye. In the Century of Türkiye, which began under our President's leadership, we will continue to march with strong steps towards the goals set."
