  1. Now all the arrows are on the Victory Party. As far as I heard, Ümit Özdağ and Sinan Oğan have cut ties. So Ümit Özdağ may support Kılıçdaroğlu. There will be a meeting between Özdağ and Kılıçdaroğlu at around 18.00 today.

  2. That’s a reason to love more Armenia instead of Azerbaijan as a Turk. Hope this piece of shit will be f*cked entire of his life and I wish also for his relatives.

  3. Seems like on the 28th of May the Republic of Turkey will have it’s last free election. I am lucky enough to be born in Germany, but seeing what’s happening to the home of most of my family is so deeply saddening.

  4. Well, the voters of the Victory Party (or Zafer Partisi) will probably wait for what Umit Ozdag (the leader of the Victory Party) has to say first, before voting. He has a better and wider influence than Ogan for sure, as no one including me, knew him back in January and even February. Considering Umit Ozdag said what Sinan Ogan would choose isn’t the choice of our party, I still have some hope.

  5. thats suprising? I thought he was coming all well with Kılıçdaroğlu

    Running on anti-immigration and anti-kurdish politics and then siding with Erdogan seems very weird

  6. You win Greeks , Oganopaulos will support Erdoganidis and once the country is destroyed you can take whatever you want , masterplan achieved.

    Humour is my way of coping at the least.

  7. Rumor: Sinan Ogan, who’s an ethnic Azeri from Igdir (a province by the Armenian border), is supported by Aliyev.

    Not a rumor: It is well known that Ogan wants to lead MHP more than anything. If he gets there with Aliyev’s support, the growing links between the Azerbaijani state and MHP (as well as MHP-dominated security apparatuses) will only deepen.

  8. Rule 1, never trust a Islamist. Never! Because of this I didn’t feel played, I know he will support Erdogan

  9. If Erdogan is popular despite years of economic mismanagement then we have to conclude that there are other reasons (cultural/social) for his popularity.

    Turkey has a sizable liberal block but apparently it isn’t big enough to be decisive. This doesn’t change the high importance of the country to Europe and I would hope that the EU and Turkey start to work together more closely after the election – whoever wins. Our common challenges are too many and geography makes co-operation inescapable.

  10. That’s not his party’s and allience’s support. That’s just his personal support!!!
    His party Zafer Partisi (Victory) and the allience will support Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
    However with this, Kılıçdaroğlu’s probability of winning is close to zero.

  11. But Ümit Özdağ will probably support Kılıçdaroğlu. The party supports Kılıçdaroğlu but the candidate doesn’t.

  12. It’s his personal opinion.
    Still, many people like me will not vote for both sides and gonna protest his decision.
    Both Erdogan and the useless opposition who didn’t overthrow him for many years are responsible for this mess. If there is no third-party or third-party candidate, we will find another one. His personal support is meaningless. He can carry out 0.5 in the best condition, not the remaining %4.5.

  13. Ümit Özdağ supports Kılıçdaroğlu, opposing side already had %50 chance to win with Sinan Oğlan i dont think something changed. everybody is angry to Sinan Oğan because he supports erdo which supports terrorist anti nationalist HÜDAPAR no “ülkücü” S.Oğan base will vote to erdo

  14. I can’t believe he is still being chosen after all the cruel things which happened in Turkey.

    He fucked a once thriving country and I really can’t understand how he manages to do it again.

  15. His all mojo is about being anti immigration (from middle east) and attract non-conventional less rural, less traditional nationalist voters who didn’t want to vote for Erdogan (his pro Syrian opposition support is seen as the reason of Turkey’s struggle with nearly 10 million immigrants). Ironically he chose Erdogan, he was the one to offer more I guess.
