Resignation signal in the Welfare Party: Call from Doğan Bekin to Fatih Erbakan

Re-Welfare Party Istanbul Deputy Doğan Bekin answered the question of whether he would resign following his criticisms of his party's management. Bekin called on Chairman Fatih Erbakan and said that he would make evaluations regarding his political future if the necessary steps are not taken.

Holding a press conference in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Bekin reacted to the statements of the Deputy Chairman of the Re-Welfare Party, Suat Kılıç, against former Prime Minister and leader of the National Vision movement, Necmettin Erbakan, in his book discussing the February 28 process.

"IF NECESSARY STEPS ARE NOT TAKEN, WE WILL DRAW OUR ORBIT"

At the press conference, a journalist asked, "Are you considering resigning from your party?" Answering the question, Bekin used the following statements:

"From now on, all duties and responsibilities belong to our esteemed Chairman. We expect him to take the necessary steps. If the necessary steps are not taken, of course, we continue our consultations with everyone, and we will draw our orbit accordingly."

'ERBAKAN' REACTION TO THE PARTY MANAGEMENT

Reminding that he had previously called on Fatih Erbakan and the party's Central Decision and Executive Board, Bekin argued that Suat Kılıç's book contained serious accusations against Necmettin Erbakan.

Stating that there was no direct response to his criticisms, Bekin claimed that a reputation assassination was being carried out against him.

"THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL FIGHT"

Stating that he has been involved in the National Vision movement since his childhood, Bekin continued his criticism of the party management by reminding that October 29 is Necmettin Erbakan's 100th birthday.

Bekin used the following statements in his statement:

"October 29 is the 100th birthday of our late Prime Minister Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan. While today should be the day to understand and explain Erbakan and the National Vision he brought, and to state that our loyalty to him exists and continues, the fact that those who use such a betrayal sentence as 'Erbakan, the architect of February 28' are still in the administration reveals the insanity of the Re-Welfare Party."

Reacting to the party management's evaluation of the discussion as a difference of opinion, Bekin continued his words as follows:

"Our struggle is not a personal struggle. The party management's desire to dismiss the issue as 'difference of opinion' with sloppy expressions is as ignorant as trying to plaster the sun with clay. I call on everyone who grew up in the National Vision and who states that they owe loyalty to Necmettin Erbakan, to raise your voice."
