Tayyar stated, "Our President has brought together the opposition without the CHP. This photo could be a sign of the political design of the new era. If successful, it could turn into an electoral alliance."

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, hosted a reception at the Assembly for the opening of the 4th Legislative Year of the 28th Term. The moments when President Erdoğan met with party leaders at the reception made headlines.
ERDOĞAN MET WITH THE OPPOSITION President Erdoğan held a special meeting in the marble hall with the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly Kurtulmuş, Vice President Yılmaz, MHP Chairman Bahçeli, Deputy Speakers of the Grand National Assembly Pervin Buldan and Celal Adan, AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler, Co-Chairs of the DEM Party Bakırhan and Hatimoğulları, DEVA Party Chairman Babacan, Future Party Chairman Davutoğlu, Felicity Party Chairman Arıkan, New Welfare Party Chairman Erbakan, HÜDA PAR Chairman Yapıcıoğlu, BBP Chairman Destici, former Speakers of the Grand National Assembly Bülent Arınç and İsmail Kahraman, and some members of parliament.
DAVUTOĞLU AND ERDOĞAN SIDE BY SIDE AFTER YEARS During the meeting, it was noteworthy that DEM Party Co-Chair Bakırhan sat to Erdoğan's right, while Davutoğlu and Ali Babacan sat to his left. Erdoğan and Davutoğlu were seen having a warm conversation for a while.
"THIS MAY BE A SIGN OF THE POLITICAL CONFIGURATION OF THE NEW ERA" While the images from the reception stirred political corridors, former AK Party deputy Şamil Tayyar made a striking post. Sharing photos of Erdoğan bringing the opposition together, Tayyar stated, "Last year's opening of the Assembly on October 1 started with a surprise. MHP Leader Bahçeli went to the DEM benches and shook hands, and then the call for Öcalan came. Then the second resolution process began. This year's opening of the Assembly on October 1 started with a new surprise. For the first time in a long time, Davutoğlu and Babacan appeared in the same photo frame with our President. Müsavat Dervişoğlu did too. In short, our President brought the opposition together without the CHP. This photo may be a sign of the political configuration of the new era. In my opinion, new alliances may develop for a new Constitution. If successful, it could even turn into an electoral alliance. The CHP, unable to escape the İmamoğlu spiral and internal conflicts, may become increasingly isolated. I suggest we look at the photos from this perspective."
