Political bureau head of Hamas, Khaled Mishaal, and the Movement’s deputy head, Ismail Haniya, congratulated, on Sunday evening, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on having won an outright majority in the latest ballot vote.
Mishaal wished that Turkey would achieve more stability, security, and welfare, and expressed hope that Turkey’s democratic process would serve the nation’s causes and Palestinians in the very best way possible.
Mishaal further spoke by phone to the Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu and congratulated him on such a sweeping victory achieved by his party.
Hamas deputy head, Ismail Haniya, also hailed the AKP, branding the result “a victory for Turkey’s democracy, unity, stability, and security.”
“The echoes of such a victory have been reverberated in Occupied Jerusalem and Gaza, which have always been supported by Ergodan and our Turkish brothers and sisters,” he added.
For his part, President Ergodan expressed his most heartfelt gratitude to Haniya, reiterating his unyielding support for the Palestinian people and cause.
In a press release on Sunday evening, Hamas congratulated the Turkish people and their leadership on the success of the Turkish parliamentary elections, and urged them to keep supporting the Palestinian people and their national cause.
"On this great occasion, we ask Allah to bestow upon the Turkish people more prosperity, progress and glory under the leadership of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Justice and Development Party led by Ahmed Davutoglu," Hamas stated.
Hamas described the Turkish elections as a victory for democracy, and a reflection of the state of stability and civilization in the capital of the Islamic caliphate.
The Justice and Development Party (AK Parti) is set to lead Turkey alone once again after regaining a parliamentary majority in the elections held on Sunday.
