Regarding the Supreme Election Council's (YSK) rejection of the CHP's request to renew the election in Hatay, Erdoğan said, "You persevered, you made your decision, and as a result, our brother Mehmet has won the election in Hatay with a final decision."
"WE WILL DETERMINEDLY INCREASE OUR SERVICES TO HATAY"
Highlights from Erdoğan's speech are as follows:
"My dear Hatay brothers and sisters, today the Supreme Election Council made its final decision regarding Hatay, and from now on, the wrong paths and applications that these certain types will take will not yield any results.
You persevered, you made your decision, and as a result, our brother Mehmet has won the election in Hatay with a final decision.
We already believed in this, and we are now at peace knowing that Hatay has left these dark days behind. In the coming period, both as the President, my cabinet, and the People's Alliance, we will hopefully increase and develop our services to Hatay much more decisively, and just as we have provided services to Hatay in the past, we will continue these services from now on."
WILL VISIT HATAY
Reminding that Hatay was affected by the February 6 earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş, Erdoğan stated the following:
"Above all, we will strive to overcome the troubles caused by this unfortunate earthquake in Hatay as soon as possible, and do not have any worries about this. Hopefully, after the holiday, I will visit Hatay myself with my delegation.
I greet you with my most heartfelt feelings. I congratulate you on your blessed Ramadan, which begins with mercy, continues with forgiveness, and ends with salvation from eternal torment. I wish our upcoming Ramadan Feast to be a source of goodness for our country and the entire Islamic world."
