Ümit Özdağ Names Parties He Could Ally With: 'This is a Historic Responsibility'

Zafer Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ has revealed the parties his group might form alliances with for the upcoming elections, emphasizing what he calls a "historic responsibility."

Özdağ articulated his party's potential coalition strategy, suggesting a need to align with other nationalist forces. He specifically questioned the party's stance on alliances, asking, "When AK Parti, MHP, and DEM Parti come together and walk hand-in-hand, how can we, as the Zafer Party, say we won't walk hand-in-hand with, for example, İYİ Parti or BTP, or other nationalist parties?"

This statement indicates a strategic consideration of forming a broad front of nationalist and potentially centrist parties to counter the perceived consolidation of power among other major political groups. The Zafer Party appears to be positioning itself as a key player in the potential formation of electoral blocs.
