Bahçeli drove through the streets of Ankara accompanied by a Ferdi Tayfur song.

The master of Arabesque music, Ferdi Tayfur, passed away yesterday at the hospital in Antalya where he was receiving treatment. The famous artist, who has released many albums and songs throughout his music career, closed his eyes to life at the age of 79.

DRIVING THROUGH ANKARA WITH FERDI TAYFUR'S SONG

The leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, known for his passion for classic cars and admiration for Ferdi Tayfur, took the wheel of his classic car with the license plate 06 TCD 009 and hit the road after Tayfur's passing. While driving in traffic, Bahçeli listened to Ferdi Tayfur's song 'Bu Bana Yeter'. A video taken while he was cruising around the city with Tayfur's song was shared by the MHP.

THE NAZAR BEAD AMULET CAUGHT ATTENTION

In the video, Bahçeli's ring on his finger, along with a prayer bead and a nazar bead amulet hanging from the car's rearview mirror, were seen. Thus, Bahçeli shared an emotional message for the late Ferdi Tayfur today.

HE SAID, "HE TOOK A PART OF ME"

Bahçeli expressed his sorrow for Ferdi Tayfur, who passed away yesterday evening, saying, "He took a part of me." In his post, Bahçeli included the following statements: 'On this day when we are experiencing the blessed Three Months and Regaib Kandili, we lost the exceptional artist of the Turkish people and Arabesque music, Ferdi Tayfur, while praying to be worthy of the mercy, compassion, and forgiveness of Allah. He was my brother, a master of voice and word who translated my heart's language. He was an artist who earned his halal livelihood with the sweat he shed in the cotton fields of Adana, then climbed to the peaks of Turkish music and won the hearts of millions, a devoted, self-sacrificing, and homeland-loving artist. Now, the cousin is left orphaned. The voice of Çukurova, which mourns a poor soul with the sound of bleating lambs, unfortunately, saddened his loved ones. Truly, words are choking me. I cannot find words to describe and express my sorrow. The death of Ferdi Tayfur took a part of me. May he find peace in his place. May his abode be paradise. May Allah treat him with His mercy. May our esteemed nation, his loved ones, and all of us be consoled.'
