"We will contribute to this process without hesitation," he stated, signaling a unified approach from the party.

Those who want to disrupt Turkey's peace, unity, and fraternity should know this well: We will make those who dream of a Turkish spring experience a harsh winter against the unity and togetherness of the Turkish nation; this is the common will of this nation, the determination of the Republic of Turkey, and our unshakeable brotherhood.

Kılıçdaroğlu's message strongly emphasized the importance of national unity and resilience against forces seeking to disrupt Turkey's peace and fraternity. He asserted that the collective will of the Turkish nation, the state's determination, and the people's unbreakable brotherhood would counter any attempts to sow division. "Our differences are the richness of our common homeland, not a cause for division," he remarked, reinforcing the idea of a diverse yet unified nation.

Our differences are the richness of our common homeland, not a cause for division.

The CHP leader articulated a vision of a strong, united Turkey, characterized by a unitary state structure, adherence to the constitution's initial articles, and unwavering national brotherhood. He framed the current period not as one of division but as an opportunity to heal wounds, strengthen fraternity, and rally as a nation. Kılıçdaroğlu concluded by stating that the CHP group would act with a sense of responsibility, taking the lead and guiding the process toward the correct direction, believing that a stronger Turkey benefits its people and ensures a future built on unity.

Our nationalism is not to divide the nation, but to unite the nation. Our patriotism is not to set brother against brother, but to walk shoulder to shoulder under the same flag.
