Within the last week, we received consecutive “goal news” from Manbij and Qandil on behalf of Turkey.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday stated that an air operation was conducted in Qandil that evening and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leaders’ team who were in a meeting were hit.

Erdoğan announced another similar operation yesterday and said, “We dealt with their leaders' team when they were at a meeting in the Qandil area.”

The information the president shared was already reported by the Rudaw Media Network – which has strong access to local sources – even before he spoke.

Apart from this, the operations conducted to capture passage routes of the terrorist organization are continuing in a resolute manner.

You already know what happened in Manbij.

The U.S. fulfilled Turkey’s ongoing demands of the last two years and hence, an agreement was reached and the areas vacated by the PKK’s Syrian affiliate, the People’s Protection Units (YPG), started to be filled by the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF).

Now, let’s stop here for moment and progress by asking a few questions.

-Will it be possible to protect this new situation on Turkey’s southern border on the morning of June 25, the day after Turkey’s presidential and parliamentary elections?

-Will the policy and operations initiated to eliminate the security threats that followed the July 15 failed coup at their source before they reach Turkish territory?

-Or, is there a chance of returning to the chaotic climate of the June 2015 elections?

The process that started in the summer of 2015, brought along 30 major terrorist attacks in the country’s east, paved the way for trench terrorism - which we know as the efforts to carry to Turkish territory the PKK’s Rojava project in Syria - stood in front of us after feeding from the results of the June elections.

In other words, the atmosphere of uncertainty caused by the June elections formed the direct justification for that rough period.

In the event of similar political ambiguity resulting from the upcoming June 24 elections, when asked if there is any guarantee that the same will not be repeated, we are able to say, “No, there isn’t.”

I should reiterate an example I have mentioned a few times before.

The moment Turkey started asking on the evening of June 7, “How will the government be formed,” the PKK/YPG took action with instruction from the U.S., took over the predominantly Arab city of Tell Abyad - which is under our nose - in a day and joined its so-called cantons.

To be clearer: I have no doubt that if we face a similar outcome of the June elections of three years ago this Sunday evening, the same project will be put back into implementation.

-There is no evidence that the Peoples’ Democracic Party (HDP) and their presidential candidate Selahattin Demirtaş have abandoned the real position they are trying to veil with jokes in the election period.

-Have any of you heard the partners of the People’s Alliance comprised of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), İyi (Good) Party and Felicity Party (SP) make noteworthy promises regarding the continuation of this struggle and maintaining the gains that have been made?

What are they going to do?

Are they going to stand behind these gains and resolute stance?

Or, are they going to become slaves of the HDP, their likely ally in parliament?

Now we can return to our topic of discussion.

The voter turnout may directly impact outcome that will be revealed on the evening of June 24.

The polls conducted before the presidential election held on Aug. 10, 2014, said, “Erdoğan will obtain an easy victory with 55 percent of the vote.”

This led to a slackness in the Justice and Development (AK) Party voters more so than the CHP supporters by the coast. When the participation rate ended up being less than 73 percent, Erdoğan received fewer votes than expected.

Everybody knows that the June 24 elections are more critical compared to the Aug. 10 elections.

Therefore, the thought of some AK Party voters claiming, “What is my vote going to change?” and not going to the ballot box may directly impact the results of the election.

I call on those who have not yet made a decision about whether they will go to the ballots or not, and those who have not yet determined their vote preference despite being in the last days before the elections to think one more time.

I repeat, the elections results we will see on June 24 may directly be determined by voter turnout.

In this election, one vote is worth a million votes.
