Tekin, who visited AK Party Yüksekova District Headquarters within the scope of his programs in Hakkari, met with party members. In his speech here, Tekin made evaluations about the knife attack that took place in a school in Başakşehir, Istanbul, and said that they have taken and continue to take many security measures in schools.
Emphasizing that they are trying to take precautions through issues such as social media, guidance activities and education of families, Tekin said, "Let's take care of our children in this sense. In other words, if a first-grade primary school student takes his father's gun from home and goes to school, or if a 69-month-old child has access to a gun, the security measures you take here will not solve the problem. Families must also be in this process. I have a warning to those who do this incident again, to those who are the motivation for this incident. We will all achieve the unity and solidarity of this country, despite those who want to prevent this despite you. I hope we will achieve this." he said.
Explaining that they have made very important investments in the field of education in Hakkari and appointed teachers, Tekin stated that they will eliminate all deficiencies in education in the coming period. Stating that they also made evaluations regarding the "Terror-Free Turkey" process in the city, Tekin said: "Let's discuss what we are doing, what we are planning, what we are trying to do, so that Türkiye does not suffer a new road accident in the Terror-Free Turkey process, and in this sense, to avoid an event that will manipulate and sabotage the process. We are here today to talk to you. Everyone in my age group remembers the old Türkiye very well. The 1970s, "The 1980s and 1990s. Unfortunately, we went through a very difficult period in terms of democracy and human rights in Türkiye. From the implementation of the state of emergency to the evacuation of villages, from the banning of the Kurdish language to the opening of disciplinary investigations on students attending Friday prayers, this country went through a very bad period in terms of faith, worship, expressing its ethnic identity and so on."
Stating that the toll of this period was very heavy and that people had to evacuate the villages where they were born, raised and lived, Tekin said that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in 2001, "Nothing will be the same in Türkiye anymore. We will set out on a journey. We will change these old Turkish habits." He emphasized that he has made efforts to build a Türkiye, step by step, where everyone is treated as an equal citizen since then.
Stating that President Erdoğan brought things to Turkey's agenda that no one else dared, Tekin said that tutelage structures said, "If you do it, the government will fall. If you do it, we will not give it power. If you do it, we will close the party. If you do it, we will remove you from the government." Without giving credit to his statements, he emphasized that he continues on his way with the dream of establishing a Türkiye where everyone can live humanely in this country. Explaining that they were dealing with tutelary structures, that they initiated the "solution process", the National Unity Project, and the Alevi initiative, Tekin continued as follows: "They tried to prevent us from creating an environment in which this country could realize its unity, solidarity, and the ideal of living in brotherhood, as in its thousands of years of tradition. The issues that we had previously tried to implement, pondered over, held workshops, traveled from province to province with wise people and had reports written, were sabotaged by someone immediately before they could reach the legal regulation stage. The MİT crisis, 17-25, 15 July, Habur, 6-7-8 October events, all of these people said, 'We are against things that will re-establish brotherhood in this country. If they do this, Turkey will become very strong. If they do this, Turkey will become a very different country economically and politically. Then we should not allow this.' This process has always been disrupted until today due to the common instigation of internal and external groups. "It didn't turn out the way we wanted."
Stating that they have a historical opportunity and responsibility before them, Tekin said, "Politicians and political parties reached a consensus with a very large majority in the Turkish Grand National Assembly and implemented the legal regulation regarding this process, which we call 'Terror-free Turkey'. I believe this. If the people who do not like Türkiye, do not want Türkiye's unity and are uncomfortable with the establishment of national unity in this country, do not sabotage this process, if we do not allow them to sabotage it, very good days await us. This "Very good days await us in this country and in this region, where we can live the way we dream and realize the things we dream of. We all need to support this process with common sense, without allowing people who are disturbed by this event to sabotage it." he said.
Stating that politics has done its part in this matter and that it is everyone's duty to protect this from now on, Tekin concluded his speech as follows: "If we, as citizens, protect it together, great things will happen. In this sense, we encourage you to be alert for the sake of the good days that await us, not to give up to the enemies of Turkey, the enemies of this nation, and ask them once again, 'How did we succeed?' I invite you not to let them say this. Let's carry out this process together. That's why we're here today. "I am grateful to everyone for your support in this process." Then, Tekin visited the Martyr Families and Veterans Solidarity Association and met with the relatives of martyrs and veterans. Tekin, who received information from the President of the Association Sami Keskin and prayed for the martyrs, was given a Turkish flag as a gift by the children of the martyrs. Tekin was accompanied by Deputy Minister of National Education Celile Ören Ökten, Governor and Deputy Mayor İbrahim Taşyapan, Provincial Gendarmerie Commander Brigadier General Cafer Öz, Yüksekova District Governor Volkan Hülür, Provincial Police Chief Attila Ayata and Provincial Director of National Education Nurettin Yılmaz.
