Speaking during a visit to Batman, a province in southeastern Turkey, as part of the election campaign, Yapıcıoğlu explained that he had two objectives: to support Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in winning the presidency in the first round of the election, and to back his party's AK Party list candidate for Batman Deputy, Serkan Ramanlı.

Yapıcıoğlu stressed the importance of avoiding a derailment in the second century of the Republic and of resolving the long-standing issues faced by the Turkish people, in order to create a more prosperous society.

He also criticized the CHP mentality for being responsible for the country's most entrenched problems, and argued that it cannot be relied upon to solve them.

Finally, Yapıcıoğlu expressed his belief that President Erdoğan, who has taken bold measures to address the issues caused by the CHP mindset, will win the election in the first round. (ILKHA)
