Atatürkist Thought Association Chairman Hüsnü Bozkurt delivered a stark warning in Sivas, declaring that “there is no passage for new imperialist mandates.”
Speaking at a conference titled “The Republic of Atatürk Again” at the Fidan Yazıcıoğlu Cultural Center on Sept. 3, Bozkurt described the government’s “process” as a three-targeted game. He said people could not pursue Islam, nationalism and Kurdish nationalism “in the lap of the United States.”
This is a treacherous plan. The 86 million citizens of this country must see what this treacherous plan is and thwart it, and they will. We will thwart this plan.
“This is a treacherous plan,” Bozkurt said. “The 86 million citizens of this country must see what this treacherous plan is and thwart it, and they will. We will thwart this plan.”
He also rejected any prospect of territorial or national fragmentation. “It is our promise: there is no passage for new imperialist mandates,” he said. “Let them not dream. We will not allow our homeland to be divided, nor will we allow them to tear our nation apart.” Bozkurt added that the Turkish people had always found the right path in the most difficult times.
It is our promise: there is no passage for new imperialist mandates. Let them not dream.
