President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated, "We will definitely achieve our goal of a terror-free Turkey, where conflict, violence, and instability are completely consigned to history, together with unity and solidarity."
President and AK Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the AK Party Trabzon 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress held at Hayri Gür Sports Hall.
Beginning his speech by expressing his happiness to be in Trabzon, Erdoğan wished for the congress to bring blessings to Trabzon, Turkey, the nation, and democracy. Thanking those handing over their duties and wishing success to those taking up new roles, Erdoğan stated:
"At the very start of my speech, I want to express my gratitude to Trabzon. Before the March 31 Local Elections, on February 17, we visited this city and held our rally in Meydan Park. During the rally, I asked Trabzon to support the candidates of the People's Alliance. Trabzon once again chose the true municipal vision of the People's Alliance, keeping their promise to us. You remained loyal to your commitment. You did not let down our trust. Here in this hall, I say once again: as long as we live, as long as God grants us life, we will continue to serve Trabzon with all our strength and determination. Let me also make it clear that since its foundation, the AK Party has been a party dedicated to service politics, a party that has produced services and distinguished itself with its works since coming to power. We have always spoken through our actions and investments. I have always said this: we do not come to our positions to be masters of the nation but to serve the nation. We will continue to work for Trabzon, to produce for Trabzon, and to make Trabzon one of the stars of the Century of Turkey."
President Erdoğan emphasized that they would keep working tirelessly, rain or shine, to increase prosperity, peace, and hope, and to promote solidarity and brotherhood. "My brothers in Trabzon can rest assured; the trust of Trabzon is in safe and capable hands. Competent, dedicated cadres who love their city are in charge in Trabzon. With God's permission, we will not tarnish Trabzon's trust. We will not let Trabzon bow its head; we will not disappoint Trabzon."
Expressing their heartfelt love for Trabzon, Erdoğan said: "We love you unconditionally, we love our brothers from Trabzon for the sake of God. May our love, unity, and solidarity remain eternal, by the grace of our Lord."
