PTT publishes stamp to mark CHP anniversary

Turkey's national post office (PTT) has prepared a stamp for the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), to mark the 93rd anniversary of the foundation of the party depicting the party's symbol and CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The preparation of the stamp also carried special meaning for party leader Kılıçdaroğlu, who is known to own a stamp collection and was surprised by the commemorative stamp.

A total of 560 stamps were published and a statement reading "93rd foundation anniversary" was also written on the stamp.

A specially-framed stamp prepared for the occasion was presented to Kılıçdaroğlu in his office. He hung the framed stamp in his office. The PTT conducted a similar practice for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) for its 15th anniversary in August. The party published a stamp to mark the anniversary of its foundation depicting the images of Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.Photos from Turkey, coalition 'Euphrates Shield' op targeting ISIL in Syria's JarablusIstanbul welcomes third bridge over BosphorusLife in Jarablus after liberation from ISIL through the lens of Hürriyet reporter Selçuk ŞamiloğluHalfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childTurkish police raid Koza İpek's media HQ in Istanbul amid protestsTurkey celebrates Republic Day against backdrop of political turbulenceLocal authorities in Adıyaman stir outcry for sitting under tent as schoolkids get wet...
