Joining Provincial Advisory Meeting organized by AK Party Izmir Provincial Office via phone call, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that they were going through a sensitive period.
Erdoğan reminded that they were keeping track of time for Peace Spring Operation and there were 120 hours given as per the first agreement and 150 hours as per the second and said: "As you know, we have heard DAESH ringleader Baghdadi killed himself. Today has been a mere turning point in the fight against terrorism, especially against DAESH and PYD/YPG. If strategic partners pledge themselves to take action in the forthcoming period with strategic partners, not with terrorist organizations, adopting the same sensitive attitude, I believe more felicitous outcomes will be achieved.”
President Erdoğan emphasized that AK Party organization should be working in a different manner in Izmir and noted the following:
"We do not have the luxury of being overcome by languor at the main level of our organization, at our women’s branches and youth branches from now on. We need to work hard to hold our major congress.”
On such a meaningful day, I wish Allah’s mercy upon our martyrs. We also had one martyr today. I wish a speedy recovery for our veterans. As usual, we will turn a deaf ear to rumours. We will be big, energetic and brothers and sisters with the motto of “one nation, one flag, one state”. We will say “We will be Turkey altogether.” and carry on our path.”
