After that, he left the union & joined the national salvation party where he started his real political life.

After one year only, the party entered the parliament elections and was able to get 363 Parliamentary seats which means an overwhelming majority.

Why Ardogan is successful?!!

He listened to all people directly, he built political formations in the most far parts in Istanbul.

He says “The long distance is not important, what is really important is to gather our hearts”.

He says ”We were always by the poor side and defending their rights. We never entered their houses with disgust, but with sadness. We ate with them and listened to them. We made our best to solve their problems.”

Ardogan’s success comes from the balancing and the harmony between the human side in which he deals with people by and can easily contact them, and the political side by which he can benefit the people he presents.

He never speaks just for election campaign.But he speaks about his feelings, about what he is planning to achieve . His words was expressing how honest he is.

Ardogan has many firm stands against Israel the most popular one is what happened in Davos 2009

Davos 2009

“ Mr. Peres, you are older than me. Your voice is

Ardogan said to Israeli President shimon peres :

very loud. I know that you are speaking aloud because of the requirement of a sense of guilt. My voice will not be that loud. About murdering, you know killing very well. I remember the children who were killed on beaches and I remember your prime ministers said they feel happy when they attack the Palestinians . I feel sorry when people claps after what you said because a lot of people had died . I think it is wrong and inhuman to clap after what happened.”

The moderator didn’t let Ardogan complete what he wanted to say. So he left the panel, accusing the moderator of giving Peres more time than all the other panelists combined. And he said that he will never come to Davos again .
