During their visit to the compatriot associations in the Arnavutköy district, Yapıcıoğlu was accompanied by Deputy Chairman Abdullah Aslan, Mehmet Eşin, and İstanbul Provincial President İsa Güvendik.
Yapıcıoğlu reminded everyone that the elections for the Presidency and the Parliament will take place next Sunday and stated: "We have less than 4 days to work. After 6 pm on Saturday, propaganda bans will begin. Political parties will conclude their campaigns, and everyone will listen to their conscience and go to the ballot box the next morning. There will be two separate ballot papers: one for the election of 600 members of parliament and the other for electing the president who will govern the country for the next 5 years. Many parties are participating in the elections, along with two major alliances. Each alliance consists of 6-7 parties, and each alliance has a candidate for the presidency. It is likely that the presidential candidates of these two major alliances will receive the majority of the votes."
Yapıcıoğlu stated that HÜDA PAR has decided to support the incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan unconditionally in the presidential election. He emphasized that the CHP mentality is not aligned with the history, customs, traditions, beliefs, and attire of the people.
Yapıcıoğlu went on to say: "The CHP mentality is a mindset that has contributed to the most serious problems experienced in the country. In other words, it is a party responsible for those problems. What are our problems? During the single-party era, they told the Alevis, 'You are Alevis, you are not Muslims,' and they attacked them. They told the Sunnis, 'You are too religious,' and they attacked them. They told the Kurds, 'You don't even have the right to live,' and they attacked them. Sunni, Alevi, religious, Kurdish enemies... Who remained? Only a handful of people. Even if a citizen commits a crime, they should not be treated as an enemy. Such a mentality is not only incompatible with certain segments of society but also with the history, customs, traditions, beliefs, and clothing of the people. They have opposed all the values of the nation. They practically said to the people, 'We will completely change you from head to toe. You will either be as we want you to be, or you will face consequences.'"
Yapıcıoğlu also commented on the recent provocative attacks against their party, saying, "They talk about freedom... When we set up a stand in Trabzon, they incite people against us. Then they say, 'What are they doing in Trabzon?' And Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu comes out saying, 'I respect every political view; that's my job.' But who am I? What about respect? We condemned the attacks on their parties, and I condemn them again now. No one should attack anyone because everyone has the right to engage in politics. In Mersin, they threw a bomb at our office. No one heard the sound of the bomb because the sound of the stone hitting the window drowned it out. They threw a few stones at our rally, and one person's head was injured in Erzurum. In Mersin, they attacked three of our party members with guns and knives, injuring them. One of them ended up in the hospital with a serious wound, but it didn't become a topic of discussion like a stone hitting someone's leg did." (ILKHA)
