The phrase 'nine regions' used by MHP originates from Turkish mythology. This has sparked a significant debate on social media.

MHP Secretary General İsmet Büyükataman described these criticisms as a 'mental block' and emphasized that the number nine holds sacred significance in Turkish mythology.

Büyükataman highlighted the importance of the number nine in Turkish mythology, citing examples from the Altai Creation Epic. He stated that MHP has conducted many of its events as 'nine regions'.

The statements from MHP's social media officer also drew attention. Hüseyin Özkan emphasized that MHP has always conducted its regional activities as nine regions.

These discussions are viewed as a campaign questioning MHP's commitment to Turkish history and culture. MHP argues that there is bad intent behind such criticisms.
