An official delegation from the European Muslim Forum, led by its President Abdul-Vahed Niyazov, visited HÜDA PAR Chairman Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu at the Turkish Parliament.
The delegation included prominent figures such as Sir Iqbal Sacranie, Zwelivelile Mandela, Mohamed Ali Harrath, and several others.
Expressing his satisfaction with the visit, Yapıcıoğlu stated: "It is an honor to meet with such distinguished guests who are committed to the betterment of our world. We share a common goal of promoting peace and justice."
During the meeting, Yapıcıoğlu highlighted the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has continued for over 10 months. He criticized the lack of organization among those striving for a better world, stating, "Unfortunately, those who work to make the world a more livable place are not well-organized. The audacity of Zionist forces in carrying out these atrocities is not because of their military power or the backing of powerful nations like the United States and the United Kingdom, but because of the disunity among those who should be opposing such evil."
Yapıcıoğlu stressed the importance of unity in the struggle against what he termed as "absolute evil," referring specifically to Zionism. "If we do not stand together against this absolute evil, it will not only harm Muslims but also non-Zionist Jews and people of other faiths. The time has come for all of humanity to join forces in this fight," he asserted.
He also expressed his support for initiatives that promote cooperation among those defending human values. "We value and support any efforts that bring together groups or individuals committed to human dignity. If there is anything we can do to contribute, we are ready," Yapıcıoğlu added.
The meeting concluded with a discussion on a legislative proposal by HÜDA PAR, which was recently approved for consideration in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM). The proposal addresses the involvement of dual citizens in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, signaling the party’s commitment to accountability and justice. Yapıcıoğlu remarked: "This legislation is a step towards ensuring that those responsible for the atrocities in Gaza are held accountable. We are determined to see justice served."
The meeting between Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu and the European Muslim Forum delegation serves as a reminder of the power of unity in the face of global challenges. It is a call to action for all who believe in justice and human dignity to come together, not just in words but in deeds. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a stark reminder of the consequences of disunity, and it is only through collective effort that such atrocities can be prevented in the future. As Yapıcıoğlu aptly put it, the defeat of absolute evil is inevitable, but it is up to us to determine whether it happens in the near future or remains a distant dream. (ILKHA)
