MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, in his written statement, stated that there have been attempts to poison the climate of peace and brotherhood created by Terror-Free Türkiye by "so-called researchers, who are puppets of imperialism", although their target audience is different, in recent days.
Reminding that the "Research on Amedspor Perception and Fandom in Kurds", conducted in cooperation with the Kurdish Studies Center (KSC) and Rawest Research and with the support of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, was announced on August 28, Bahçeli pointed out that the research tried to keep the separatist betrayal alive through Amedspor's bias.
Reminding that in another survey made available to the public by a morally bankrupt research and consultancy company that has zero credibility, "the Turkish nation's belief in God, angels, the Holy Quran, the Prophet, fate, resurrection after death and being held to account" was supposedly investigated and negative results were revealed, Bahçeli said, "The Turkish nation is a Muslim nation, tampering with spiritual values will only please the enemies." made his assessment.
Stating that the goal of Turkey without Terrorism, which they started with the ideal of bringing humanity to the longed-for justice, tranquility and peace, has reached an important stage with the Law on Strengthening National Solidarity and Social Integration adopted in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Bahçeli said that the adoption of the Law with the votes of 467 deputies is an indication of the projection of national will, determination and comprehensive agreement towards a Terror-Free Türkiye, peace, brotherhood, national solidarity and social integration. he emphasized.
Pointing out that the hope of brotherhood, peace and prosperity in a terror-free Türkiye is the good news of the coming Turkish centuries, Bahçeli said in his statement: "Getting rid of the terror disease that ambushes our will for development and diminishes our bread is to strengthen our brotherhood again and more firmly in every inch of Anatolia. In Terror-free Türkiye, where terrorism is eliminated, security is permanently ensured, cities and rural areas reach a climate of peace, one of the biggest obstacles to the development move has been eliminated." will happen." he stated.
Bahçeli underlined that Terror-Free Türkiye is the gateway to a terror-free and stable region, a blow to imperialist scenarios, and the will of the people of the region to protect their own future.
"Discriminatory discourses should be carefully avoided"
Emphasizing that they are striving and determined to build the Turkish and Turkish Century in the new century of the Republic, Bahçeli said:
"As a matter of fact, our country stands out as an important actor on a regional and global scale. Turkey is in a climate where economic and social life is revitalized, peace, trust and prosperity increase, the nation enjoys being Turkey together, and peace and brotherhood take root. In such an environment where labor is knitted together, national unity, solidarity and social integration are strengthened, under the name of various research, the national and spiritual dynamics of the Turkish nation are being manipulated and beneficial developments are being sabotaged.
Dynamics that want to poison the climate of peace and brotherhood are at play. Sports is one of the most powerful tools of brotherhood, peace, solidarity and social integration. For this reason, the use of the sports field for identity politics, discriminatory discourses or political purposes should be carefully avoided. In addition to competition, the basis of sports should be morality, fair play, mutual respect and social responsibility. Success must undoubtedly be achieved without compromising these values."
Stating that sensitivity towards strengthening Türkiye's social peace, unity and solidarity should be observed and that sports clubs and sports organizations should not be turned into instruments of provocative initiatives on social peace issues, Bahçeli stated that in this context, all sports clubs, including Amedspor, should act in accordance with the unifying spirit of sports and stay away from attitudes and discourses that may increase social tensions.
"It is a mistake to equate sports with identity"
Underlining that sports should be the legitimate ground of brotherhood, peace, solidarity and a common future, not politics and divisive identity debates, Bahçeli continued as follows:
"No one has the right to poison the goal of a Terror-free Turkey and the climate of peace, tranquility and brotherhood under the guise of sports. It should not be their place. Those who attempt to exploit the critical and sensitive period of the Turkish nation and try to bring disgrace to the social ground will find the Nationalist Movement Party and the People's Alliance against them. In the statement I made to Amedspor President Mr. Nahit Eren on May 4, 2026, upon Amedspor's success in rising to the Super League, 'I welcome Amedspor, which was founded in 1990 and brought color, excitement and a new breath to Turkish sports, to be promoted to the Super League for the first time in the club's history. I consider this meaningful success as a valuable development for our Diyarbakır and Turkish football.' I said and we are of the same determination.
It is a mistake to equate sports with identity by saying that politics, sports and identity are intertwined, based on an unclear research. It is also a great disgrace to the people who work hard for sports. Sport is an activity that should embrace everyone, regardless of their political views, ethnic origins, sects or dispositions. Our nation is pleased with Amedspor's promotion to the Super League and its success there. "It is a great expectation for an Anatolian team to be permanent in the Super League, as was the case with similar teams in the past."
"Treason networks disguised as cheerleaders must be prevented"
Stating that it is understood that there are those who want to use Amedspor as a tool for their dirty projects, and that the club officials and the people of Diyarbakır should react first to this provocation, Bahçeli said, "These attempts are a plan to sabotage Türkiye without Terrorism. It is an attempt to poison the climate of brotherhood and peace. Amedspor is a football club of Türkiye, which is followed with admiration with its success and its play in the Super League, and it should remain so." he said.
Pointing out that football should be handled with quality, morality, a solidarity approach around national values and an approach that focuses on national team successes and promotions at the international level, Bahçeli emphasized that sports should not be used as a tool for politics and dark intentions, and those who do should be held accountable within the framework of the law.
Inviting everyone who is in favor of a Terror-Free Türkiye, especially Amedspor managers, to be sensitive about this issue and take urgent measures, Bahçeli made the following assessment:
"The stands should not be turned into an area of provocation by those who are against a Terror-Free Turkey. Infiltration among the fans should be prevented. Treason networks disguised as cheerleaders should be prevented from developing a language that threatens peace with fraudulent orientations such as sports, politics and identity. It is imperative to prevent such sabotage during the implementation phase of the Law No. 7595 on the Strengthening of National Solidarity and Social Integration. The commissions established by the aforementioned law are committed to preventing such provocations "We must act meticulously and the necessary sanctions must be implemented by the relevant institutions. Along with sports, another provocation, destruction and manipulation has been put on the agenda simultaneously. The aim is to confuse the Turkish nation, 99 percent of whom are Muslims, with a picture that will deny our deep-rooted civilization by portraying it as an upstart community disconnected from its roots."
"Criminal sanctions should be imposed on those who provide false and misleading information"
Underlining that it is a great evil to present the Turkish nation as devoid of beliefs and values, Bahçeli emphasized that it should be disclosed to whom and for what purpose they serve. Bahçeli stated the following:
"Islam is the last religion with which we are honored as a nation. Our blessed ancestors have been the standard bearer of Islam for centuries. Our Prophet, the server of two worlds, is our guide. Yahya Kemal Beyatlı's 'This storm that broke out is the Turkish army, O Lord, this is the army that died for you, O Lord.' As he emphasizes in his verses, the Turkish nation won its victories with the spirit of martyrs and warriors, with faith and belief. Future Turkish centuries will be realized with this belief, faith and loyalty in science, economy and foreign policy. The effort to present our nation as a rootless, personalityless and irreligious society under the name of 'Islamic research' is a great diversion and an important fifth column activity. The Turkish nation is faithful, moral, faithful, committed and loyal to its religion, religious values, traditional values and cultural relics. "Accusing and accusing the Turkish nation in such a manner is a shameful and immoral conspiracy."
Bahçeli underlined that the manipulation and destruction that survey companies are trying to cause in society should be investigated in all aspects.
Pointing out that, as MHP had previously brought to the agenda, studies under the name of "public opinion research" that are far from scientific and reality and serve to direct the society should be prevented, Bahçeli stated that they envisage a legal regulation that will be evaluated on a scientific and legal basis and will ensure that the correct standards are determined in auditing and implementation.
In this context, Bahçeli stated that the principles and procedures regarding the qualifications and qualifications of public opinion research institutions and researchers should be determined, and emphasized that they consider it necessary to impose criminal sanctions on those who provide false and misleading information for the purpose of manipulation or influence.
"Our nation stands by Terror-Free Türkiye"
Emphasizing that no one has the power to stop the holy march of the Turkish nation with disinformation and perception operations, to put Türkiye into a climate of turmoil and chaos with social engineering calculations, and to change Türkiye's course, Bahçeli said, "There will be no turning back from Türkiye without terrorism. Our interlocutors should know that we are aware of the traps tried to be set on the evil front. The opportunity to get rid of terrorism forever, which Türkiye has been fighting against for nearly 50 years and which has caused the lives and property of many of our people, disturbs the treason networks." made his assessment.
Bahçeli stated that those who are enemies of Türkiye have lost sleep with the strengthening of brotherhood, the development of democracy and the removal of obstacles to Türkiye's rise, and said:
"Although those who are disturbed by the erasure of terrorism, violence and separatism from minds and the establishment of unity and solidarity try to infect the society through so-called research, our nation's foresight is strong enough to disrupt dirty tricks. A Turkey in which terrorism is completely eliminated will increase predictability and investor confidence, strengthen its production capacity and increase the welfare of our citizens at the center of regional trade networks. Türkiye's fundamental need to resolve the terrorism issue within its national will, by strengthening its domestic front and ensuring its national unity and political and economic stability." This is our desire and goal. For this reason, we consider it vital to avoid initiatives that may cause tension, polarization and social events.
It is known that imperialism strives to produce political, social and economic instability by perpetuating ethnic, religious and sect-based discrimination and chaos. Türkiye without terrorism aims for regional stability and peace against similar provocations and conflicts in our region. Our nation stands by a Terror-Free Türkiye and wants terrorism, with all its elements, to be removed from our agenda. He wishes that the poisonous atmosphere of terrorism will be cleansed from our political climate, and the weeds will be uprooted from our land of trust and peace. It is desired that the climate of democracy, the rule of law, prosperity and trust will be strengthened and that it will surround and embrace all our citizens without any discrimination. We believe that the goal of a Terror-Free Türkiye, which is a state policy that will not resort to national provocations, will be the success of Turkish politics and will hopefully be the work of our nation as a whole. "Together, we are the Turkish nation, we are all the Republic of Türkiye."
