Erdogan Calls on Citizens of Turkish Origin in EU States to Extend their Political Influence
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on citizens of Turkish origin in EU states to extend their political influence. "Personally take responsibilities in political parties and political mechanisms," said Erdogan on Tuesday in an appeal "to my citizens in Europe". Before AKP members of parliament in Ankara, Erdogan recalled that in the constitutional referendum a year ago more than 60% of Turks in Germany voted for the presidential system he wanted: "That means there is a power there. This power must also take effect in the local politics there", Diversitymachtfrei reports.
The goal must be to push back the influence of organisations like the banned Kurdish Workers Party PKK or the far-left DHKP-C in Europe. "Don’t leave the politics there to the PKK. Don’t leave the politics there to the DHKP-C", said Erdogan .
"If our citizens, who are true to their country, their people, their flag and their call to prayer, stick together, they can be ten times, a hundred times more influential with political parties and politicians than them."
Erdogan asked citizens of Turkish origin to learn the language of the country they were living in and get to know the social environment there. At the same time he called on them: "Never make concessions on your mother tongue, your faith and your solidarity with one another." He added: "Your fatherland remains for you."
