The leader of the DEVA Party, Ali Babacan, wrote about his aunt Hatice Babacan, who is a symbolic figure in the headscarf struggle, saying she is "lying in a Jewish cemetery," and later forgave a young man who sought his forgiveness. Babacan told the young man, who had confessed to trolling on social media for a period and wanted to reach out to him, "What matters is to unite in truth and uphold justice. Your awareness is very valuable."

DEVA Party Chairman Ali Babacan reacted fiercely to claims that his still-living aunt Hatice Babacan was buried in a Jewish cemetery because she is Jewish during a television program he attended.
Babacan also responded to the trolls who made this claim, saying, "They buried my aunt Hatice Babacan, who has fought for her headscarf while still alive, in a Jewish cemetery, paid trolls! This was done through the back door, shamelessly, when the DEVA Party was established. Trolls have no fear of God," he stated.
"WE GOT ON THAT WAGON TOO, BRO"
In response to Babacan's words, a social media user named Eyüp gave a striking reply. The young man said, "We also got on that wagon, bro. If it's true, we have no place to sleep either; I wrote this on my own behalf."
Responding to another user's words, "You need to reach out and ask for forgiveness," the young man named Eyüp said, "I think so too, but how can I reach out?"
"THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO UNITE IN TRUTH, TO RESPECT RIGHTS"
DEVA Party leader Ali Babacan gave a surprising response to the young man who wanted to reach him. In his post, Babacan said, "Mr. Eyüp, my aunt is a bit unwell; I will gladly convey your message to her. I forgive you on my own behalf. The important thing is to unite in truth, to respect rights. Your awareness is very valuable; I invite you to our headquarters when you come to Ankara," he stated.
