(MENAFN- AzerNews) Türkiye will be at a crossroads on May 14 when the millions of
voters will cast their votes to elect the president and the
Parliament, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said, adding
everyone in the region and in the world is focused on the Turkish
elections.
“Clearly, all the elections are important but, the May 14 polls,
both in terms of the [political] alliances [in Türkiye] and
sensitivity of regional and global developments, have turned into a
historical turning point,” Erdogan said at an event in Istanbul
over the weekend.
“This fact is seen not only by us but all those who have an
assessment about Türkiye. All the evil networks, from terror
organizations to global interest groups are focused on May 14,” he
said.
Türkiye will go to simultaneous presidential and parliamentary
polls on May 14 and Erdogan is the presidential candidate of the
People Alliance.
A new victory of the People Alliance will start a new era in the
history of Türkiye and will prove the country's leading place in
the world, Erdogan said, criticizing the oppositional alliance for
allying with the terror organizations.
“I ask my people: Will there any benefit for our country from
those who walk hand in hand with terror organizations?” Erdogan
stated, referring to the Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP) decision
not to appoint a candidate for presidential polls so that they can
support the Nation Alliance's contender, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
Differently from the opposition, Erdogan said his sole focus is
to serve the people and take care for the future of the people.
“Our mere concern is not to dash the hopes of our people as well as
all the oppressed [in the world]. We have no other objective than
starting the construction of Century of Türkiye and keeping up its
struggle for democracy and development,” he stated.
