Former Maltepe Mayor Ali Kılıç, known for his closeness to Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was brought to the CHP Chairmanship by a court decision, made a remarkable post on his social media account.

Using words of praise for AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kılıç stated the following:

"Our names are different, our surname is Turkey.

Today, the words of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which reflect the same spirit, 'Whatever our names may be, our surname is the Republic of Turkey,' have become the strongest expression of our unity, solidarity, and brotherhood.

An understanding that unites rather than divides, that embraces rather than marginalizes; represents the common conscience, common goal, and common future of 86 million.

What befits a strong Turkey, a leader in its region and influential in the world, is this understanding of unity, solidarity, and brotherhood that draws its roots from the spirit of the Ottoman Empire.

Thank you, Maltepe. Thank you, Turkey."
