MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli said in a message sent to the Ankara Provincial Congress, "We will act with love of the homeland, not concern for votes; we will think of future generations, not the next elections."
The congress was held at the Ankara Chamber of Commerce Congress and Exhibition Center. MHP Deputy Chairman Mevlüt Karakaya chaired the session. In his speech, Karakaya said the terrorist organization was eliminated along with its weapons and that the process was not a withdrawal of the state.
