Making evaluations at the First Ordinary Congress of the NEW Party held in Ankara Arena with the slogan "Turkey is Renewing", NEW Party Founding Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik said that the congress, which started with excitement and enthusiasm, carried the heritage and tradition of the Republic.
"THERE ARE NATIONALISTS IN THIS HALL"
Çelik said:
"We are in Ankara, we are at the first congress of our NEW Party. We are excited, enthusiastic; the hall is very excited, very enthusiastic. Our esteemed Chairman will come on stage in a little while. I would like to express this, yes, it is the first congress of the NEW Party, but in this hall there is the spirit of the Sivas Congress established in Sivas in 1919. There are Kuvayımilliye supporters in this hall. There are those who carry the legacy of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in this hall. Therefore, we all live together in a 103-year-old republic. There is a spirit here that carries the legacy and tradition of our 103-year-old republic."
"WHEN Türkiye IS DEFEATED, PENSIONERS WILL GET THEIR RIGHTS"
Pointing out that the slogan of the congress was "Turkey is Renewing", Çelik said, "In the renewed Türkiye, when Turkey is renewed, retirees will get their rights, laborers will get their rights, tradesmen will get their rights, producers will get their rights, and when Turkey is renewed, young people will not have to look for their future in other countries. We say 'Turkey is being renewed'. When Turkey is renewed, women will live equally in all areas of life. When Turkey is renewed, a livable Türkiye will come to life in peace, brotherhood and prosperity for all of us."
Çelik said that the NEW Party was founded by the nation, its budget was created by the nation and its name was given by the nation, and continued as follows:
"For this reason, today is a very historic day; we are living one of the most important days in terms of the 103-year history of democracy in Turkey. NEW Party is a party founded by the nation, created by the nation, and named after the nation. Today, we are holding our first congress. After today, we will carry out the building process of the democratic republic in these lands together with 86 million people, with a strong march to power."
"İMAMOĞLU TURNED HIS 12 SQUARE METER CELL INTO A RESISTANCE CASTLE"
Answering the question about the video message of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor and detained Presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu being shown at the congress, Çelik stated that he came to the hall with Dilek İmamoğlu.
Çelik said:
"The message of our President Ekrem will be read. If I give a speech at the congress, I will bring the greetings of our President Ekrem and the greetings of all our prisoner companions, mayor, bureaucrats and city council friends to this hall. I would like to express this: Ekrem İmamoğlu has turned his 12 square meter cell into a castle of resistance.
This period has the following feature; On the one hand, there is a mentality that wants to make the ballot box symbolic and hide it from the public, to make us without candidates, without parties and without leaders; There is a strong struggle against this. Ekrem İmamoğlu is standing tall in his 12 square meter cell, fighting very hard. Together, we continue our determined struggle with our Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel, our Presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu and all our companions.
If there are those who want to steal the ballot box from the people in this country, we are here. We will continue our determined struggle so that 86 million people can live together in a democratic country. Today is a very important day in this respect.
May our first congress be auspicious for all of us. I wish success to our Chairman Mr. Özgür Özel. Finally, let me say this: A Party Assembly election for 150 people will be held tomorrow. With a huge staff of 150 people; "With a staff of 150 people, including MPs, experts and representatives from within the organization, we will meet with citizens on the field, on the street, and fight together."
