İYİ Party's 'Choir of Betrayal' video sparks controversy ahead of Balıkesir rally

The IYI Party has released a provocative video titled "Choir of Betrayal" as a prelude to a rally scheduled for Sunday, August 16th, in Balıkesir. The video, shared on the party's social media accounts, uses strong imagery to criticize perceived enemies.

In the video, figures representing terrorists are depicted playing instruments shaped like weapons. Notably, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), Abdullah Öcalan, is shown playing piano keys designed to resemble bullets. The imagery aims to associate political opponents with terrorism.

A figure referred to as "Long Man" is seen applauding the orchestra, with a shadowy conductor behind him. The party's leader, Müsavat Dervişoğlu, is highlighted in the video as the one who will "spoil the game."

The video concludes with a call to action for the Balıkesir rally, stating, "No matter what the Choir of Betrayal plays; neither the instrument nor the word will be in order. The children of the Turkish nation will raise the flag against betrayal. August 16th Sunday, Balıkesir Kuvayımilliye Square."
