Erdogan addresses in historic Istanbul rally

"Mr. Kemal gave instructions to him, saying, 'Go to Van.' When he went there, he made the sign PKK members make. Ekrem, you are from Trabzon, what are you doing there when you should be in Istanbul?" Erdoğan seeks a new term on the centenary of the Republic of Türkiye after dominating the Turkish political landscape for years as prime minister and president at the May 14 elections. His main rival is a six-party opposition coalition’s candidate Republican People's Party (CHP) Chair Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
