Yavuz Ağıralioğlu Speaks About the Fund Investigation and the Headscarf Struggle

Key Party Chairman Yavuz Ağıralioğlu attended the public meeting program held at Çankırı Hasan Fehmi Gökçen Indoor Sports Hall.

Making evaluations about the agenda, Ağıralioğlu stated that they were in Çankırı, the capital of salt, and said, "Do you know what it reminded me of? As they say 'salt stinks', we will make the stinky offices and all the works that are associated with money, lies and illicit things smooth again, with the salt of Çankırı! We will salt you! You made the offices stink, we will salt you! Hear our voice from Çankırı: Against money "When you get involved, your morals, halal and haram things are mixed together; we will salt you with the salt of Çankırı! Because this is a city that supported your claims 100%. You claimed to be a country without poverty and prohibitions. You stinked in the authorities. You stinked up your merits; we will salt you."

Ağıralioğlu stated that AKP President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan celebrated the 25th anniversary of his journey saying "Who am I among the orphans?" and said, "This is the first time that the homeless have been defrauded at this level, for the first time."

"THE FUNDING ISSUE IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN GET THROUGH BY SHOUTING AT THE OPPOSITION"

Stating that more than 400 thousand people were defrauded within the scope of the fund investigation, Ağıralioğlu said, "What makes the fund issue your issue is the issue of immorality, shamelessness, and irresponsibility. This is perhaps the first time that our esteemed President has encountered something at this level. For the first time, not the opposition, but those he appointed, not those against him, but those he kept with him, for the first time, he was faced with a burden that was defrauded by those who rewarded him so much and distributed positions, and defrauded the orphans he promised to protect. I am our President." "I understand his anger, I understand his surprise, I understand that he is shouting a little too much at the opposition to manage this, but this is not something you can get over by shouting at the opposition," he said.

Key Party Chairman Yavuz Ağıralioğlu stated that he was "the son of a mother who never performed a missed prayer, who had nothing to do with money, and of an honorable father who considered it his duty to spend everything he earned on his children and students" and said, "I am the son of a father who lost 24 kilos in a month in Mamak dungeons and was not shaken by torture. You will know your place when talking about us. You will be careful with your sentences when talking about us."

Ağıralioğlu stated that they stood by the headscarved people who struggled during the 28 February process, including his wife, who said "I am fighting for my belief" and said, "I am the one who did not play an inch in that struggle that I carry on my shoulder as honor today! I was tried at the State Security Court for the 'White March'. I did not collapse on 28 February."

"For us, headscarves meant not eating haram"

Explaining the difficulties he and his wife experienced during the process, Yavuz Ağıralioğlu said:

"It was a time when it was not possible to work with a headscarf. My wife started working in 1995, we were separated for 18 years. You can't scare us by threatening us on the path we set out to defend what we believe in. Do you know what the headscarf struggle was for us? Those who wear it and those who don't wear it are our brothers. The issue was not about wearing the headscarf, the issue was not to consent to the persecution of faith. Therefore, the headscarf was something that the person who wore it with faith did as a result of his beliefs. Mr. President said, 'Women struggle for the sake of it. They did it, so did we. For us, it meant protesting against oppression. Do you know what the headscarf meant for us then? It meant not eating haram, not lying.

"YOU CANNOT COVER YOUR HEADSCARF ON THAT MUCH DIRT"

It was good when I praised you, but now it doesn't suit our faith, it doesn't suit the headscarf, it becomes a burden on our religiosity, and the names of the people you praise, love, and give a place to are appearing in the works. Their names appear on the lists of fraudsters, those who steal money appear on their lists, those who commit nepotism appear on their names. They pocketed the money of the country, the nation, and the poor, and their names are coming out. Why do you get upset when they praise you and feel ashamed of what you have done? Just as you cannot make me an enemy of the headscarf, you cannot cover the headscarf with so much dirt.

"THEFT IS THEFT"

Ağıralioğlu stated that President Erdoğan said about the criticism made by the opposition due to the fund investigation, "They are eager to tarnish our pure and pure movement" and said:

"Are we tainting it? You have appointed; those you appointed have pocketed 800 billion liras of poor people's money from the resources of the country, defrauded 18.5 billion dollars, 2 billion of which has been revealed. Mr. President, if you are to be acquitted, this is an opportunity. For the first time, you have tainted your own path by those you gave positions to, those to whom you gave roles and titles. You should now be acquitted. 2 billion have been revealed; the remaining list of 898 billion." No matter what sect, no matter what affiliation, no matter what title or title, stealing is theft, cheating is fraud. Would you please punish those around you who tarnish the AK Party's claim, just as you punish the opposition? We are waiting for the ballot box, Mr. President, we are waiting for the ballot box, "How can we win the next election?" We are waiting for a ballot box to ask, 'How can we defeat our rivals?' We are waiting for a ballot box to ask, 'How can we solve the nation's problems?'"
