Expressing his pride in Gezeravcı, Bişgin noted that Gezeravcı made history as the first Turkish astronaut to go into space and that he wanted to make history himself as the first person to vote in elections wearing an astronaut costume.
Bişgin said he prepared the costume with the materials he had at hand, stating, "It turned out nicely. Our country is progressing, and we are proud.
I wanted to change the atmosphere of the election. I covered the top of the motorcycle helmet. The materials we use there for combat sports... I covered our beekeeper suits with foil. I designed a different model."
