President Erdoğan: Turkey cannot be surrendered to the streets

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made evaluations on various topics ranging from the conflicts in the Middle East to foreign policy, and from the Libya Memorandum to regulations concerning retirees, emphasizing that Turkey cannot be surrendered to the streets.

Stating that peace efforts are ongoing to stop the bloodshed in the Middle East, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan expressed that Turkey's interests come above everything else. Stating that disagreements with riparian countries can be resolved through dialogue, Erdoğan noted that the country's rights were guaranteed with the Libya Memorandum and that the European Union's reaction was not legitimate.

Warning that encouragement should not be taken from events in Europe, Erdoğan gave a message of determination by saying, "We did not find our country on the streets," and emphasized that Turkey cannot be surrendered to the streets.

It was announced that the legal regulation prepared regarding the situation of retirees will be implemented by the end of the year.
