Khaberni - The local Turkish politician, Orhan Afji, topped international news headlines and social media platforms, not for his political program, but thanks to his exceptional mustache, which followers described as the most dense and luxurious in the world of contemporary politics.
The story began when Afji was appointed as the head of the "Huzur" party in the Karlıova area of Bingöl province in eastern Turkey, where the party published an official photo of him with the state branch president, Sayit Moku, to celebrate this appointment. While the goal of the photo was to promote the party’s new slogan "New Word, New Voice" and enhance unity and solidarity in the region, the audience's focus was completely on Afji's unique appearance.
Orhan Afji’s mustache is so large that it completely covers the lower part of his face, to the extent that it entirely hides his mouth from view; this sparked a wave of sarcastic comments and humorous comparisons online.
He was nicknamed by social media users as the "boss villain in games," in reference to his imposing stature resembling the final confrontation characters in video games.
The comments were not devoid of humor, as tweeters exchanged sarcastic queries about how he manages to eat, while some compared it to a mask due to the large area it covers on his face.
Despite Afji's serious political ambitions to serve his region, it seems that his legendary mustache has succeeded in uniting internet users around the world in a state of astonishment and entertainment, surpassing the boundaries of Bingöl province to achieve global reach.
