91st political party in Turkey opened: the Ottoman Party

The 91st political party in Turkey is established with the name of Osmanlı Partisi (the Ottoman Party). Its logo has the Arabic letters of alif and waaw over a crescent; and, the party slogan is announced as ‘Leader Turkey’.

Ottoman Party’s Chair İbrahim Ünye said they aim to take part in the next elections by organizing all across Turkey within a short period of time.

Also claiming that they are to change the politics of Turkey, Ünye said: “Nothing is going to be the same; we are going to base everything on institutional grounds. Nobody is going to be able to have a free hand on Muslim lands!”

According to the reports of Sözcü, the first public statements of the new party’s chair included the following remarks:

“Within the following days, we are going to head to work, complete our training, and, then, announce our projects. We are going to reach even the remotest corner of our country. We are going to reach every door and we are not going to leave out even one hand unshaken and one hand unreached. The Ottoman Party and its members have emerged from the heart of the ‘Muslim Turkish nation’ and they are going to work day and night to serve this noble nation. Nobody should have a doubt about that! Both the ruling party and the opposition, which have not provided any plan or program to get out of this deadlock, cannot pay off for their sins against this nation. Very soon, we are going to share the information with our noble nation about the projects that our Party has created for our country and for all of the Muslims of the World. Those who have divided us into pieces are going to see that we are going to ramp up all of the lands that our ancestors had set foot in the name of Unity of Turkish-Islam. Nobody is going to be able to have a free hand on Muslim lands. I wish from God that the Ottoman Party brings blessings to all of the Islamic world.”
