Force commanders did not take the stage where Yapıcıoğlu was present: Striking scene in Malazgirt

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who came to Ahlat, Bitlis yesterday (August 25) for the 953rd anniversary events of the Battle of Malazgirt, visited the Seljuk cemetery.

Erdoğan was accompanied by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli, BBP Chairman Mustafa Destici, HÜDA PAR Chairman Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu, members of the Presidential Cabinet, Air Force Commander Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu, and Naval Forces Commander Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu.

The fact that Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu, who said, "I do not call Hezbollah and the PKK terrorist organizations," was in the same frame as Air Force Commander Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu and Naval Forces Commander Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu drew reactions.

The 953rd Anniversary Celebration Program of the Battle of Malazgirt also took place today. Erdoğan delivered a speech. Following the speech by AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan, the protocol was invited to the stage.

FORCE COMMANDERS DID NOT RESPOND TO THE INVITATION

Those invited included, in order, Naval Forces Commander Admiral Ercüment Tatlıoğlu, Land Forces Commander General Selçuk Bayraktaroğlu, Air Force Commander Ziya Cemal Kadıoğlu, and Gendarmerie General Commander General Ali Çardakçı.

The commanders did not respond to the invitation. It was observed that the President of Religious Affairs, Ali Erbaş, who was invited to the stage after the commanders, did come to the stage.

In the protocol, it was seen that he was side-by-side with HÜDA PAR leader Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu. In the protocol, Bahçeli and Yapıcıoğlu raised their hands together.

"PKK AND HEZBOLLAH ARE NOT TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS"

The People's Alliance had formed an alliance with HÜDA PAR in the last presidential and parliamentary elections. Four deputies entered the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) from the AKP's lists.

Before the general elections, the party's leader, Yapıcıoğlu, had stated in a program he appeared on at tv100 that he did not call the PKK and Hezbollah terrorist organizations.

It had emerged that HÜDA PAR Diyarbakır Provincial Chairman Faruk Dinç had been arrested and served time in prison within the scope of the Hezbollah case.
