AKP spokesman Omer Celik stated that his party does not support any initiative that threatens the sovereignty of states and emphasized that political sovereignty belongs exclusively to the Venezuelan people.

In a message posted on the social media platform X, Celik expressed that the AKP’s position on the events in Venezuela is based on respect for international law and the popular will, and stressed that the Venezuelan people are the sole holders of political sovereignty in their country.

The spokesman remembered that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the AKP have consistently defended the legitimate sovereignty of states and their territorial integrity as guiding principles of their political action.

Celik reiterated that the AKP does not support any event that contradicts these principles and affirmed that political legitimacy has been and continues to be a central tenet of the policies of the Turkish president and the ruling party.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Venezuelan government denounced the US attacks as aimed at seizing the country’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, and forcibly undermining the nation’s political independence.

It warned that Venezuela reserves “the right to exercise legitimate self-defense to protect its people, its territory, and its independence,” while urging international solidarity to condemn the foreign aggression.
