Fatih Erbakan's harsh reaction to Aliyev: 'Even if we can't come...'

Erbakan's first reaction came after Azerbaijan imposed an entry ban on 31 Turkish citizens, including the Chairman of the Re-Welfare Party, Fatih Erbakan.

Addressing Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on his social media account, Erbakan called for 'the lifting of the headscarf ban on students in the country'. Erbakan also criticized the hosting of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Baku with harsh words.

"IT'S OK EVEN IF WE DON'T COME"

Posting by tagging Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Erbakan made the following statement, referring to the entry ban decision:

"Dear Ilham Aliyev! It is enough for the headscarf ban on students to be lifted in Azerbaijan, even if we cannot come."

In the continuation of his post, Erbakan targeted the hosting of Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Baku. Continuing his criticism of the Aliyev administration, Erbakan said the following:

"After hosting the Zionist murderer Herzog in Baku, you lost sight of your true friends. That's enough for you!"

"WE DID NOT LEARN THE LAW OF BROTHERHOOD FROM YOU"

Referring to the brotherly relations between Türkiye and Azerbaijan, Erbakan continued his words as follows:

"Because we learned the law of brotherhood with Azerbaijan not from you, but from the late Elchibey, Resulzade and Tağıyev. With this spirit and this consciousness, I say once again; Long live the brotherhood of Turkey and Azerbaijan! Long live two states, one nation! Long live unity in language, thought and deeds!"

WHAT HAPPENED?

With the statement numbered 406/26 published on October 21, the Azerbaijani administration declared 31 Turkish citizens, including Re-Welfare Party Chairman Fatih Erbakan, as "persona non grata" and banned them from entering the country.

The Baku administration cited the statements of the people in question on social media and internet platforms, allegedly targeting Azerbaijan's sovereignty, national security and constitutional order, as the reason for the decision.
