17 days left for the parliamentary and presidential elections that will be held on May 14th, according to the latest breaking news! Sinan Ogan, the presidential candidate of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Great Union Party (BBP) Alliance, answered NTV reporter Seda Öğretir’s questions. Ogan’s statements and responses to the questions were remarkable.
“Why did you become a candidate?” he was asked. “I think I will get enough votes to proceed to the second round. I claim that Turkey can be better governed. I do not want children to go to school or bed hungry. I do not want our young people to go abroad for a breath of fresh air. The justice system and the economy have collapsed in the country. While we should be talking about technology investments, we are discussing other things. I also became a candidate to represent the Turkish nation and Ataturkists,” he replied.
“Who will be your rival in the second round?” he was asked. “Mr. Erdogan has always been the winning side. Even if he tries hard, I think my rival will be Kemal Kilicdaroglu,” he said.
“If you do not make it to the second round, who will you support?” he was asked. “I have no doubt that we will make it to the second round. I am the only candidate who increases the votes. Other candidates’ votes are decreasing. Our opportunities are not the same as the other candidates. If we lose in the first round, we will first consult with our party, then with the civil society organizations that support us. We will also meet with the candidates who make it to the second round,” he replied.
“I want to unite Turkish nationalists under one roof,” he added.
“How will you send back refugees?” he was asked. “We will do everything in the framework of law and human rights. In Germany, if an illegal immigrant is caught, what is done is to deport them immediately. Caught refugees will be deported. They will be accommodated in refugee camps. We will create refugee camps from the containers left empty by the earthquake victims. We will accommodate them partly on the other side of the border and partly on this side. Refugees have been given many rights. Hospital and medicine are free. We will remove government aid. We will enforce the state’s rules. It is not right for someone to open a shop and not pay taxes. There is no legal obstacle to this. When we do this, most refugees will not want to stay here. In Turkey, passports are sold for $250,000. Is it that cheap to become a citizen in Turkey? There are 2 million refugees with military experience. If they are given weapons, they can turn into an army. This is a threat. The fertility rate of Turkish women is 1.3, while that of Syrian women is 2.3. When the same Syrian women come to Istanbul, the fertility rate increases to 5.3. Our approach to this issue has security, economic, social, and cultural consequences. The society does not want refugees. We will not restrict refugees’ freedom of travel. They can go to any country they want,” he explained.
“What are your economic promises for the election?” he was asked. “Istanbul is a city where the rent is very high. About $800 billion of rent has emerged in Istanbul. Permits have been issued up to 5 floors for a plot of land. The owner goes and gets the permit. The quality changes. We will end the rent in this country. I want to make Turkey a chip and artificial intelligence production center. If we sell a truckload of chips instead of tomatoes, we will earn more than the income from a million tomatoes. Why does interest not follow inflation? If we do not apply economic policies, the economy will improve. Today, the Turkish people are receiving a minimum wage below the poverty line. How will we prepare a society that receives the minimum wage in the 21st century for the future? We will take the country from the poverty line to the poverty line and then to the level of prosperity,” he said.
“How will you handle the issue of East Turkestan?” he was asked. “No one has raised the issue of East Turkestan as boldly as I have. I am the only one who has been advocating the issue in Parliament for years. Let me sacrifice East Turkestan to the competition between the USA and China. I am a committed Turanist. I cannot say that there is no massacre in East Turkestan,” he replied.
“What will be your foreign policy vision?” he was asked. “We will demand our rights in the international arena. We will take back the islands and rocks surrendered to Greece. Our foreign policy will be based on foreign trade,” he concluded.
