I am pleased to be with you once again under this blessed roof on the occasion of our group meeting of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. I pray to God that you have a legislative year full of success. I hope that the new era will be beneficial to our country, our nation, our political and democratic life, as well as political party groups and esteemed members of parliament.
Even though our ideological coordinates are different, our political center is Turkey. No matter how wide our area of political competition is, the fixed tip of our compass is Ankara. Even though we differ in terms of method in politics, our direction is Turkish independence and sovereignty.
Our main goal is to completely purify the region in which Türkiye is located from the security threats produced by terrorism and to ensure the political, economic and social welfare of future generations. A historic opportunity is before us to permanently get rid of the scourge of terrorism that has been plaguing our nation for more than 40 years.
We are on a ground where justice, politics, democracy, national unity and integration will prevail instead of terrorism and weapons, where brotherhood and solidarity will take root and where we will draw the road map of our future together. Making new legal regulations is one of the most vital issues. The upcoming Parliament term will be a period of structural reform that will shape Türkiye's medium and long-term future, beyond sterile political debates.
