Fashion designer Zeynep Tunuslu boldly voiced her decision to vote for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan through a video announcement prior to the presidential elections.
She revealed that some of her friends warned her against visiting the Cihangir neighbourhood, as she may face harsh criticism for her political views. However, Tunuslu stated that she is not afraid to express her opinion and believes that everyone has the right to do so freely.
Tunuslu went on to explain that although she has voted for the CHP in the past, she has been disappointed with their performance.
She expressed her concern about the CHP's relationship with the HDP and felt that it could lead to the division of her homeland. As a result, Tunuslu decided to vote for Erdoğan in order to prevent such a scenario and to support what she believes is in the best interest of her country.
Zeynep Tunuslu, who comes from a Kemalist and CHP (Republican People's Party) supporter family, explained that she had consistently voted for the CHP in previous elections but had been left disappointed. In this particular election, she felt that the CHP did not inspire hope.
One factor that influenced Tunuslu's decision was the CHP's association with the HDP (People's Democratic Party), which she found concerning.
As a strong advocate of patriotism, Tunuslu emphasized the significance of her decision for the sake of her country. She wanted to make it clear that her choice to support a different candidate was driven by her love and commitment to her homeland.
Tunuslu's decision reflects her desire for a better future for her country, as she seeks to align her political preferences with her values.
Zeynep Tunuslu explained that she took a decision to support President Erdoğan to prevent division within her homeland. She expressed admiration for Erdoğan, considering him a sincere leader who demonstrates care and affection even in his interactions with children and animals.
Tunuslu mentioned being deeply touched by Erdogan's efforts to support earthquake victims, which made her feel a sense of warmth and friendliness.
She views the CHP as a romantic party but believes they need to put in more effort. For Tunuslu, service to the country holds great importance, and she believes that the people prefer leaders who actively work and serve the nation.
