It is recalled that Mr. Erdogan And Ogan they met last Friday in Istanbul.

However, in the light of today’s events, the candidacy of the opposition party Kemal Kilicdaroglu loses even more ground to Erdogan, and the chances of winning the election for the 74-year-old presidential candidate from the united Turkish opposition are significantly reduced.

It is recalled that in the first round of the presidential elections on May 14, 55-year-old Ogan, a nationalist from the Nationalist Action Party (NAP), from which he left, gained a percentage of about 5.2%. and 2.8 million votes.

On May 14, Erdogan was the first to cut the thread with 49.5%, leaving Kemal Kilicdaroglu in second place with 44.9%.

Since no one received more than 50% of the vote last Sunday, the presidential battle moves into the second round, which will be held on May 28 with the participation of contenders for the presidency. Erdogan and Kilicdaroglu.

Ogan for “Blue Motherland”

Taking advantage of the notoriety he has already garnered as the “regulator” of the second round of the presidential elections in Turkey, the ultranationalist Sinan Ogan is now showing his “teeth” on the foreign policy front as well. Significantly, he stated today that “the foreign policy steps taken by Turkey should be continued and supported, especially the position on the Blue Motherland.”
