Can o Kemal Kilicdaroglu ahead of Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the polls for the presidency of Turkey, but his latest appearance has sparked negative comments.
In particular, he appeared in a photo stepping with his shoes on a prayer mat. The ruling party took advantage of the opposition leader’s “failure” and accused him of religious disrespect.
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu “Seccadeyi megdidim” demiş.
Özrü kabahatinden büyük.

After the uproar, the CHP, Kilicdaroglu’s party, issued a statement saying that the president did not see the mat, due to the tension and rush of those who wanted to take pictures.
Depremden bu yana ortada koremmayen imar barışının üzü Hasan Kaçan, seccadeli fotografia için Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’na reacted:
“Ey Müslümman… O, üçüne pabuçlarla basılan seccade sensin… Senin kutsalın, bükü ışırın… Anan, baban, deden, ninen, eşin, evlatların…… pic.twitter.com/VS73QrrRjE

Kilicdaroglu himself apologized in a post on social media, expressed his regret for the incident, emphasized that he had not seen the prayer rug and made it clear that he did not want to offend anyone, especially his nation.
Üzgünüm, I’m so sorry for the seccadeyi göremidigim. Dunida kimseyi incitmek istemem, hele milletimi asla. Here, I leave the abusers and the propaganda apparatuses they use to the conscience of our nation.
