Turkish President and Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdogan kicked off AK Party’s campaign for the March 31, 2019 elections with a rally in Sivas.

As tccb.gov reports, underlining that it is not for no reason that they chose to hold the first campaign rally in Sivas, Erdogan said: "Today, while kicking off the campaign for the local elections, we, a century later, reiterate the same principles, decisions, and ideals. While setting off from Sivas, we are saying that the homeland within the national borders is a whole. Our homeland, flag, state, nation and future are our dignity and honor. Whoever encroaches on our homeland, flag or future, we never let them go unpunished," underlined Erdogan, and added: "We will duly respond to those scheming against Turkey, whether they be from the inside or the outside, even at the cost of our own lives. We will foil every trap set against Turkey’s interests and achievements and against our goal to make Turkey great."
