First of all, I would like to express my gratitude and thank to President Mustafa Ali Çavuş, who has made a great effort to revitalize and enlarge the FEP Party since 2010. I am deeply aware of this heavy responsibility. I believe that I will overcome this responsibility by working harder with my friends who will shoulder with me this cause and most importantly with the support of our people. I would like to thank all of you for your kindness and sincere feelings that you will show to me and my friends here today. Thank you.”
