Erdogan addresses in historic Istanbul rally

The rally was held at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport, now partly a public recreation area, a week before critical presidential and parliamentary elections under the motto “Türkiye is entrusted unto you.” The rally, expected to be the biggest witnessed either in Türkiye or Europe, is being held at the Atatürk Airport due to its symbolism as the point of struggle for democracy during the July 15 coup attempt in 2016.
