In the AK Party group meeting, President Erdoğan, who made evaluations regarding the current issues on the agenda, also mentioned the hymn "Kabe'de hacılar hu der Allah," voiced by Celal Karatüre.

"I CONVEY MY CONGRATULATIONS"

Stating that "this year we are collectively experiencing the joy and spiritual pleasure of the hymns sung all over the country," Erdoğan said, "Kabe'de hacılar hu der Allah... I convey my congratulations to all my brothers, from the composer to the performers, who have engraved this hymn into the tongues and, God willing, hearts of our people from seven to seventy, turning our country into a single voice and a single heart with those beautiful hymns."

WORDS THAT LIFTED THE HALL

Continuing his words, Erdoğan expressed, "It greatly pleased, delighted, and made us proud to see our children in schoolyards singing along to these hymns together, chanting the divine name in unison with enthusiasm. The gathering of all of Turkey in the same rhythm, singing the same words and voices was an atmosphere we longed for, desired, and missed. I want to say this clearly once. No one should feel uncomfortable about this. No one should be disturbed. No one should feel anxious. This photo is the real photo of Turkey. This photo is the photo of this land. This photo is the photo of this nation," which was met with a standing ovation from the audience.

BAHÇELİ COULD NOT REMAIN INDIFFERENT EITHER
