Kemal Kilicdaroglu participated in a Mawlid for Koca Seyit

Kemal Kilicdaroglu, Leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), participated in a Mawlid for Koca Seyit (Seyit Onbaşı) who was a hero in the Canakkale War. Mr. Kilicdaroglu entered the mosque by taking his shoes off and sat down  kneeling to listen to the Mawlid. The party’s Vice President Gursel Tekin accompanied him.

The Mawlid was organized in the Kebir Mosque (Cami-i Kebir) in the Balikesir’s Havran Area by Mustafa Sitki Yuksel, CHP’s Province Leader –also a relative of Koca Seyit– in memory of the martyrs, as the 18^th of March is the 96^th anniversary of the Canakkale Victory.
