President Erdoğan attends 28th General Assembly of TİSK

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the 28th General Assembly of the Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations (TİSK).

“I thank everyone, who served within the TİSK since its establishment, for their contributions to Türkiye’s development and growth,” President Erdoğan said.

“WE WORKED TO DEVELOP POLICIES WHICH TOOK INTO ACCOUNT THE SENSITIVITIES OF ALL SEGMENTS”

Noting that when the dialogue between the employers and employees are not strong, and their relations are not conducted in a healthy manner, facing social unrest becomes inevitable, President Erdoğan said: “We are a country that suffered very much in the past from tensions that threatened social peace. The conflict between parties, which deviated from their establishment purposes and acted as a standard-bearer for ideological fights, costed our country dearly. Therefore, we, since the day we came into power, have uphold our country’s and nation’s interests, and paid special attention to developing and implementing policies which took into account the sensitivities of all segments.”

“WE ACHIEVED TO BREAK THE VICIOUS CIRCLE IN OUR COUNTRY’S CENTURY-LONG STORY OF DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT”

“Inshallah, we will bring to fruition our economic programme, turn the global crises into opportunities, work much harder and make our country one of the top 10 economies in the world,” President Erdoğan said.

“Our business world and citizens should rest assured that our fight against the tutelage, coup-plotters, terrorist organizations and economic hitmen have not been in vain,” President Erdoğan underlined. “We have achieved to break the vicious circle in our country’s century-long story of democracy and development. Today, there is a Türkiye, who makes its own decisions in its political, economic, diplomatic and military strategies, builds its own infrastructure and sets its own goals.”

“WE LOOK TO OUR FUTURE WITH CONFIDENCE AND STABILITY”

Underscoring that Türkiye now have an actual say in a vast area stretching from the Balkans to Africa, from Central Asia to South Asia, and can establish real relations with its counterparts, President Erdoğan said: “As political and humanitarian crises run rampart around us, we can look to our future with confidence and stability.”

Noting that the November inflation data indicated continuing recovery, President Erdoğan said that the recovery will accelerate after the New Year and the situation will be more reasonable and easily-manageable as of February.

With regard to Türkiye’s fight against terror, President Erdoğan said: “The West's condition in its fight against terrorism is evident, but Türkiye has overcome all obstacles to fight terrorism."

Underscoring that Türkiye now puts an end to terror at its source, President Erdoğan said: “They say ‘you can not do this, do that in Kobani’. Kobani is already done. In Idlib, in Kobani, we are taking all the necessary measures, we have taken, and we will continue to take them.”

Pointing to today’s Turkish-Azerbaijani joint military exercise in Azerbaijan, President Erdoğan highlighted the principle of “one nation, two state.”

“TÜRKİYE HAS EMBARKED UPON A SPECTACULAR RISE”

“Türkiye, whose southern borders are surrounded with terrorist organizations, who is excluded from the European Union because of completely political reasons, who has been subjected to a covert technological embargo by the West, to whose east and north, there are actual wars, who has been tried to be dragged to artificial crises in the Mediterranean and the Aegean, has embarked upon a new, spectacular rise, let alone bowing down,” President Erdoğan said.

“WE PROVED THE STRENGTH OF OUR ECONOMIC POTENTIAL”

“We have proven the strength of our security infrastructure in the fight against terror, of our humanitarian aid infrastructure in the refugee crisis, of our healthcare and social support infrastructure in the COVID-19 pandemic, of our production infrastructure in the global commodity and supply crisis, of our diplomatic infrastructure in the Russia-Ukraine crisis, of our economic potential in the exchange and inflation rates crisis,” President Erdoğan said.

“We have not only gotten over so many problems, but also announced to the entire world that we aim to turn the centenary of our Republic into a milestone for a much greater leap forward through the Century of Türkiye programme,” President Erdoğan said.
