Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has emphasised "stability" in Türkiye under the Justice and Development (AK) Party during a meeting with the party's supporters in the US state of New Jersey, APA reports citing TRT world.

Addressing "AK Volunteers" in Paterson, densely populated by the Turkish community, Cavusoglu on Friday drew attention to the gains Türkiye has achieved during the party's governance.

Cavusoglu touched on the upcoming elections on May 14 and said: "We have an election ahead of us. Elections are held in Türkiye every five years now. This means stability and trust."

Cavusoglu criticised some political party leaders who said they will return Türkiye to old coalition eras, saying: "The people will not allow this. They want to return Türkiye to a period of chaos. Therefore, the upcoming election is an important one."

In his address to voters who will vote in the US starting April 29, he said Türkiye under the strong leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the country has achieved its goals in domestic and foreign policy in "a stable manner."

"Will we waste the high interests of our nation in Libya, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean? Will we allow FETO to operate around the world, and PKK to regain strength and cross the mountains to the Turkish borders? Will we waste the products of the defence industry, which are the apple of Türkiye's eye and which we watch like a child growing up?" asked Cavusoglu.
