Dear comrades!

Your congress is being convened at a historic moment. In these days, as American imperialism and Israeli Zionism suffocate and die in the Strait of Hormuz, your congress takes on even greater significance. The Atlantic era is over. Our world is now multipolar. Attempts to maintain US hegemony are failing.

A US defeat in Iran will lead to a break with US allies, a greater shift of neutral powers toward the Eurasian front, and the countries of the Eurasian front taking far bolder steps. This, of course, means the collapse of US international ambitions such as “global gendarmerie,” “unipolar world,” and “dollar hegemony.”

The war with Iran is part of a general global confrontation. Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Eastern Mediterranean are also part of this confrontation. Therefore, when Iran wins, we win. Therefore, Iran’s victory is also our victory.

Dr. Mehmet Perinçek speaking at the Rodina Congress

Congratulations to you both on this historic congress and this victory, dear comrades.

The victory we are experiencing, of course, is not only in Iran. Russia, fighting against all Atlantic powers on the Ukrainian front, is also moving towards victory. We, as the Vatan Party, view Russia’s successes as our own. We observe with great pride the role of your party and your leaders in these successes. Thank you, comrades; you are fighting on the front lines for us and for the entire world.

We also ask you to trust Türkiye. We want you to view Türkiye’s resistance to imperialist plans as your own resistance. Türkiye, like Iran and like Russia, faces threats from the Atlantic front. The standoff in the Eastern Mediterranean is no different from the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz or in Ukraine. They want to encircle Türkiye, to strangle Türkiye. They want to do to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus what they wanted to do to Crimea and Donbas. Just as the annexation of Crimea and Donbas by Russia was a blow to the Atlantic powers, the sovereignty of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is no less important for the security of all of Eurasia.

Our problems are common, our threats are common, our destiny is common, and so are their solutions. The major Eurasian powers, primarily Türkiye, Russia, China, and Iran, must unite. Our countries, and we, bear a tremendous responsibility. Our parties must work together to create a Türkiye-Russia-China-Iran alliance.

Only then will we deal the final blow to those pursuing the dream of global hegemony, only then will we deal the final blow to the warmongers in Europe, only then will we stop the genocide in Palestine, only then will we defend Cuba and Venezuela, only then will we prevent a world war, only then will we open the way for new revolutions, bring peace, tranquility, and development to the world, and build a more just world.

Dear comrades,

I have no doubt that the Türkiye-Russia-China-Iran alliance will be formed, and new victories await us!

Once again, I wish your congress success and ask you to accept the feelings of solidarity of the Turkish people.
