During a live broadcast on 24 TV, the Presidency's Director of Communications, Fahrettin Altun, assessed the agenda.
In response to a question regarding his assessment of the election results, Director of Communications Altun stated, "In this election, we must emphasise unequivocally that Türkiye was the victor."
"Our President has defeated all forces opposed to a free and independent Türkiye”
In response to a question, Fahrettin Altun noted the following:
"Our President has defeated all forces opposed to a free and independent Türkiye. He defeated all national and international forces opposed to Türkiye’s development into a prosperous nation. He defeated all forces that opposed Türkiye becoming a greater country. He defeated and annihilated all national and international actors who oppose Türkiye's ability to generate policies freely, independently, and in its own name. Our President defeated those who did not want Türkiye to be a stabilising force, a participant in global issues, and a powerful, reputable country in the region. Consequently, alongside and on behalf of his nation, our President has achieved a significant victory."
Director of Communications Altun noted that after the elections, numerous world leaders congratulated President Erdoğan via phone or social media.
Recalling the Grain Corridor Agreement implemented under the leadership of President Erdoğan, Director of Communications Altun continued as follows:
"If grain prices have reached this level today, if the problem of global hunger has been substantially resolved with this Grain Corridor Agreement, if it has reached a certain point, it is due to the diplomatic leadership of our President. Our President is a leader who has managed to meet with the leaders of both Ukraine and Russia, preventing the crisis from escalating at that time. This was a great accomplishment for humanity. As someone who has witnessed these processes and seen how things work in these processes, we are proud of our President and are working hard to communicate this pride to the public more effectively. Because, while he prevented the escalation of a global crisis, he also averted a global food crisis. This is an extraordinarily fortunate intervention. In this process, it has become abundantly clear that the presence of a determined and strong political leader who continues to make policy by drawing on the strength of his nation can influence the course of numerous crises.
"Social media companies have clearly taken sides"
Director of Communications Altun stated that social media companies were clearly parties during the election process, stating, "Although they advertised themselves as objective, independent platforms, professional communicators and professionals knew that they were not, and the general public knew this as well. Because they have clearly taken sides."
Director of Communications Altun, noting that Twitter management complied with demands for U.S. political interests, explained that they had compiled a book of studies proving this, stating, "International media giants, their internal extensions, social media companies, and these virtual troll networks that have grown up within them have all become an operation centre against our President as disinformation production centres, but they have failed."
"The politics pursued by our President are a movement for a cause"
When asked about the fundamental parameters of the Century of Türkiye, Director of Communications Altun stated that disaster wounds will be healed first and foremost in the Century of Türkiye; we will provide a robust institutional structure for disaster risk and crisis management process.
Director of Communications Altun, on the other hand, emphasised that they will build a very robust social structure and that other important issues in the upcoming period are "a stable and strong economy," "justice, democracy, human rights, and freedoms," and the "Türkiye axis."
"The politics pursued by our President are a movement for a cause, and there were very qualified, trained, and successful figures who put their hearts into and acted shoulder to shoulder with this movement." In this respect, we are talking about a really organic, strong social movement that never lacked skilled statesmen. This social movement has been translated into a political movement through the political struggle of our President. Throughout his tenure, he has worked with incredibly large teams.
Director of Communications Altun emphasised that an important period lies ahead for Türkiye and that this period has the potential to benefit the country as part of the vision of the Century of Türkiye in social unity and solidarity.
