Imamoglu and Ambassadors
The politicians of the People's Alliance and their supporters intensely criticize the meetings of the Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor, Mr. Ekrem İmamoğlu, with the ambassadors of both the UK and the USA.
The politicians of the People's Alliance and their supporters intensely criticize the meetings of the Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor, Mr. Ekrem İmamoğlu, with the ambassadors of both the UK and the USA.
At the beginning of the criticism, "Istanbul has surrendered to the land, the mayor is not at work, he went to eat fish." While İmamoğlu was also visited by the US ambassador, he said, “Why do the ambassadors of these imperialists visit the Mayor every now and then, what is going on, what is being talked about? began to take shape.
The officials of the two states in question at that time had frequent meetings with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, both inside and outside, while he was the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, even before he was elected as a deputy, that is, before he became the Prime Minister. It can be said that the reason for the intense criticism of a similar interview traffic by İmamoğlu is the discomfort caused by the repetition of history.
It cannot be more natural than the increase in Imamoglu's popularity, both inside and outside, disturbing the People's Alliance. Due to this inconvenience, Imamoglu's mistakes, deficiencies and mistakes are tried to be revealed by using the state's facilities, including camera systems. However, these intense criticisms increase İmamoğlu's popularity even more and keep him on the agenda. Being on the agenda in politics is like advertising, that is, no good or bad. President Erdogan realized this fact and wanted the issue to fall off the agenda, with the answer he gave to the question asked by journalists on his return to Ukraine.
Ambassadors send all kinds of information about the countries they are in to their own countries. It seems that the UK and the USA have taken into account the results of the polls regarding İmamoğlu's candidacy in the upcoming elections. That's why they want to meet him. It is an unreasonable approach to make treachery out of these talks and to make accusations like "What was spoken with the ambassadors should be explained". The Mayor of the Metropolitan Municipality is an elected person with certain authority and responsibility. Considering that the current President Erdogan met not only with the ambassadors of the time, but also with foreign officials who held much more important positions, it will become clear how meaningless it is to make a crime out of every meeting. In addition, not only Erdoğan but also Atatürk met with the US general Harbord in Sivas during the Sivas congress. The proliferation of these talks is directly proportional to hearing the footsteps of change. Therefore, it is a normal political reality that state officials, who are active in world politics, have increased their interest in potential presidential candidates.
Let's talk about these talks, "If İmamoğlu becomes a candidate and is elected, he will act together with imperialism and will not protect the interests of the country." to those who commented:
To fight imperialism; The army should be strong, the money valuable, the economy strong, the people should be enriched rather than impoverished, the level of education, culture, morality and democracy should be increased, and international relations should be ensured where effective and mutual interests are protected. The measure of acting together with imperialism or fighting imperialism is not meeting or not meeting with ambassadors, but the will to achieve the goal of bringing the country to the level of contemporary civilization.
Whoever raises Turkey to the level of contemporary civilization in economy, security, education, health, infrastructure, culture, human development, rule of law, freedom of press and expression will be the greatest enemy of the imperialists and the crown of this nation.
The Turkish Nation, since the foundation philosophy process that started with its leader Atatürk, has always cherished those who serve it and those who show the will to rise to the level of contemporary civilization, and buried the unsuccessful ones into history. It will be the same again.
