President Erdoğan shared a video message on the 22nd anniversary of the foundation of AK Party. Erdoğan said that AK Party is a political movement born from the bosom of the nation. Noting that they started their journey with the promise that 'Nothing will ever be the same in Turkey', Erdoğan said, "In this journey, we have come to this day by coming first in every election we have entered. I would like to thank each and every one of my brothers and sisters who have worked, laboured and sweated for the success of this blessed cause from the day of our foundation to the present day, regardless of the level of our party, and I wish God's mercy to those who have passed away. Again, I would like to express my gratitude to each and every member of my beloved nation who has always stood by AK Party in its struggle to serve Turkey with the support it has given at the ballot box since the first day. We cannot be proud enough of being the son of such a noble nation that stands by us at the cost of its life when necessary. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each and every one of you for your efforts in the parliamentary elections on 14 May and presidential elections on 28 May."
