ANKARA - New Turkey Party (YTP) leader Ismail Cem said on Friday that promises given to Turkey by those who did or can not keep their words were all vain.
Cem issued a statement in which he said that the most important element in politics was confidence and promises and stated, ''this is the political understanding of me and my friends. This should be the understanding of every serious politician. Promises given to Turkey by those who do not keep their words are all vain. Since the very beginning, we said that unity should be formed with all parts of the society and Turkey coalition should be ensured with people. We stressed that New Turkey will form unions with people. We said that extreme political alliances recalled former fronts like 'homeland front, nationalist front and nation front' which all caused problems for Turkey. To this end, the excuse made about unkept words that 'an objection was made to an alliance in the last 48 hours' is a misleading.''
Their new political understanding was constructive and unifying, Cem noted.
Cem said, ''to this end, making unkept words and unfair statements of others a continous item of the agenda is against our political sytle.''
''New Turkey is in the process of forming an alliance with the society and people with all modern experiences of Turkey,'' Cem added.
