There are 2 days left until the second round of the Presidential elections, which will take place on 28 May. Before the elections in which Turkey was locked, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan added a new one to his social media account.
“WE WANT TO TURN 28 MAY INTO A FEAST”
Calling 85 million citizens, Erdogan said: “May 27 is one of the most painful crossroads of our democracy. May 29 is one of the most important victories of our history with the conquest of Istanbul. We, as a nation, learned a lesson from our pain on May 28, which coincided with the middle of these two days. We want to turn it into a feast where we are proud of our victories.
“WE PROVED THAT WE ARE GUEST OF OUR PROMISE”
We have proven that we are a man of our word with our services that have contributed to the lives of 85 million citizens and our works that touch every inch of our 81 provinces. We believe that on May 28, we will come together around the Turkish Century and continue our journey to a great and powerful Turkey.
“LET’S OPEN THE DOORS TO A NEW ERA”
From here, I call on all my citizens who say ‘my country and my nation first’. Let’s open the doors of a new era in front of Turkey together. Let’s raise the Century of Turkey together on our shoulders, just as we have together compensated for our country’s centuries-old democracy and development deficiencies in 21 years.
“A FRESH BEGINNING”
Let’s take care of our unity, our solidarity, our eternal and eternal brotherhood as 85 million. We want each and every one of our people to take their place in this blessed march, regardless of their origin, belief, sect, nationality or political preference. We are waiting for you to be with us to turn the night of May 28 to a fresh start. Our hearts and arms are open to all members of our nation…”
