The fact that Alper Gezeravcı, who earned the title of the first Turkish astronaut by going to space for 55 million dollars, took part in AKP events before the local elections caused reactions.
"PERSON LOOKING LIKE AN ASTRONAUT"
Saadet Party Hatay MP Necmettin Çalışkan, in his speech at the Turkish Grand National Assembly General Assembly, drew attention to waste in public investments and brought Alper Gezeravcı to the agenda by saying, “Look, finally, the person looking like an astronaut we sent to space.”
VARANK REACTED
According to the news in Gazete Duvar; Former Minister of Industry and Technology and AKP Bursa MP Mustafa Varank stated that he was saddened by Çalışkan's use of the phrase "looking like an astronaut".
"THE EXPENSE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN"
Upon this, Çalışkan said, “We sent someone to space by calling it an 'astronaut' for the price you sold the Tank Palet Factory for, and he established contact for fifteen days. We thought he would stay there; he came back and participated in the campaign in İzmir with that suit. Honestly, justice expects this: Since you sent a person to space as an astronaut to use in the election campaign, I think the expense of this should also be covered by the election campaign and its budget.”
