İsmail Kahraman Cultural Center, made important statements there.Highlights from President Erdoğan's speech...
Being at my parents' home is a special blessing for me. We truly miss Rize. Yesterday and today, I saw that the children of Rize miss us too. May God perpetuate our love, brotherhood, and companionship.
"OUR HEARTS WERE RELIEVED IN GAZA"
Our hearts were relived in Gaza. An agreement was reached between Hamas and Israel on a ceasefire in the talks in which we were also involved. Yesterday, I explained how the process developed, how it progressed, and the diplomatic traffic Turkey conducted throughout the process.
Likewise, I also highlighted the support given to the negotiations by the American President, Mr. Trump, and the leaders of our brother countries, Egypt and Qatar.
Indeed, our country, with its active foreign policy, principled stance, and diplomatic experience, has been one of the driving forces of the recent process. Our Palestinian brothers, especially Hamas, demonstrated their readiness for peace with a very prudent stance. We also supported negotiations with other Muslim countries in the region. Thus, two years of oppression have come to an end. For the first time, smiles have begun to appear on faces. I salute Palestine and the Palestinians through you.
Israel must stand behind its signature
EMPHASIS ON"FAIR PEACE"
A just peace has no losers. We wholeheartedly hope that the agreement will lead to lasting peace, tranquility, and security in Gaza and the other Palestinian territories. I thank all the leaders who supported this process. I congratulate our intelligence officers and diplomats who strongly represent Turkey's conscientious, just, and principled stance there.
EMPHASIZING THE"TWO-STATE SOLUTION"
The two-state solution is the key to lasting peace in our region. We believe that a two-state structure is the best path for all the peoples in the region, including Muslims, Christians, and Jews. We continue to walk this path with determination today, just as we did yesterday.

I want to share some good news. The Central Bank reserves of 183 billion dollars continue their upward trend.
Following the scenes at Parliament, a CHP hit squad launched an all-out attack. They hurled a barrage of insults. Their ferocity infuriated even their alliance partners, with whom they had held rallies, traveled from province to province, and even vowed to govern Turkey in harmony.
All the concepts they claim to defend, such as democracy, pluralism, compromise, tolerance, respect for others, they have reduced them all to mere words in one day, just because of a photograph.
Those who did this to their alliance partners, God forbid, what will they not do to this nation when they get power?
