Entering the political stage as Turkey's 39th party and leaving a quarter-century behind, the AK Party celebrated its 25th anniversary with a special program held in the Capital. At the ceremony, attended by thousands of party members and featuring colorful scenes, there were also emotional moments from time to time.
SHE COULDN'T HOLD BACK HER TEARS WHILE WATCHING HER FATHER'S STRUGGLE
The special slideshow shown in the field, depicting the AK Party's 25-year political journey and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's years of struggle, gave the audience emotional moments. Esra Albayrak, who watched the obstacles her father encountered throughout his political life, his struggle against tutelary forces, and the difficulties he faced in the slideshow, could not hold back her tears.
SHE TURNED HER HEAD AND LOOKED AT HER FATHER
It was also noticed that Esra Albayrak, trying to wipe away her tears, turned her head during the slideshow and looked at her father, President Erdogan, sitting diagonally across from her. Those silent and emotional moments between father and daughter were etched in memory as one of the most special moments of the 25th anniversary celebrations.
