Other activities

Athletic career

Çakar has participated in many sports events in Hasanistan and has occasionally represented them in some international events. He played for South Hasanistan during the main period of activity of the Hasani A Lig between 2013 and 2015, scoring sixty-seven goals in a total of six appearances and winning the inaugural season in 2013, and also took part in the Hasanistan Wallball League playing for different teams in the competition. He was a player in an unofficial two-versus-one basketball game against a team reportedly representing France.

He participated as a competitor in the 2020 Batyr Chess Invitational in June 2020, where he was defeated in the first round by Chase Mahoning.

Views

A political compass published by the Batyr Times in 2013 had Çakar placed in the libertarian-left quadrant. He has been described in different news articles as being a nationalist., a populist and having had socialist leanings. He has previously stated his opposition to Eniakism and compared its rise in popularity to the spread of communism during the 20th century, although the founder of Eniakism Emiel Hardy has been regarded as a hero to Çakar and he later advocated for "consuming Eniakism".

He expressed great admiration for the Bogdanoff brothers and said "they brought light into our world and showed us the enlightened path" after the death of both brothers but also previously accused them of promoting negative policies against Hasanistan. Çakar announced he supported QAnon in 2020, although the statement was regarded as non-serious.

Çakar publicly announced support for Turanism and established the Hasanistani Turanic Society. Following the establishment of the Turanic Society, he stated "[the organisation] aims to inspire other groups in Turanic countries for the eventual goal of a Turan super-state spreading from the Sami regions of Scandinavia to Alaska and from as north as Yakutia to as south as Hijaz in Saudi Arabia". He considers Mahusetans as part of the "Turanian family" describing them as "honourary Turanians to the highest degree". He has described Indo-European ("Aryan") countries as "failed states" compared to Turanian states such as North Korea. He supports the Japonic script as part of a "Turanian cultural revival" and referred to the Latin script as "Franco-Masonic", "bourgeois-decadent" and "pushed by the agents of the Bogdanoff brothers".

He has made statements in opposition to Cornish people, having banned Cornish culture in Hasanistan through a presidential decree. In the presidential decree, he called Cornish nationalism "degeneracy" and referred to the "Cornish-Fesmarian menace.

Domestic and social policy

Constitutional policy

Prior to the 2016 presidential election, he expressed support for decentralisation of the Hasanistani government. He later expressed support for a unitary state and scepticism over federalism in 2018.

Culture

Çakar banned TikTok in Hasanistan through a public health executive order during the COVID-19 pandemic, describing it as "shameful and an attack on the revolutionary principles upon which Hasanistan was built" and accused it of promoting promiscuity. He instead advised people to spend their time "producing mathematics, technology and books about the history of Great Nations such as Hasanistan" and said that the "behaviour" of using TikTok belonged to immoral people "such as modern Americans or Ashukovs".

He is pro-anime and supports its deregulation. Çakar considers anime as "Turanian" due to its Japanese origins. He proposed an act in the Mejlis which stipulated harsh punishments for "insulting anime", including public lashings, execution by firing squad or exile.

Following an online controversy after Ubisoft shut down the racing game The Crew and revoked customer licenses in its online store, Çakar criticised the commercial practice of video game shutdowns and license revocations without just reason. He expressed support for initiatives to stop the practice and vowed to take action against it within Hasanistan.

Social issues

Çakar is known to have supported expressed support for Turkic-style polygyny as "common sense" and "21st century" as part of an election promise in the run-up to the 2020 elections, where men could marry multiple women. He justified it by saying it was "unfair" that men could not marry "many beautiful virgin wives and concubines for fun" and "[it would] increase our birth rates so we have more citizens and it will also make our population happier". He later abandoned support for the policy to promote himself as a national unity candidate.

He has expressed hope that Hasanistan's population will be more than half female in the future.

Foreign policy

China

Çakar voiced support for the indigenist Taiwan independence movement in 2013, stating that neither the communist or "nationalist-capitalist" governments should control Taiwan and the Taiwanese people should have the right to be "Taiwanese not Chinese". He blamed the Chinese government's "incompetence and corruption" for being responsible for the initial spread of COVID-19 and said they were instead distracted with "sending Uyghurs [to] re-education camps" in reference to the Chinese government's persecution of Turkic Uyghurs. He proposed an act in 2017 and issued a presidential decree in 2021 which included support for East Turkestan independence.

Eastern Europe

During the 2014 Crimean crisis when Russia militarily occupied and annexed the Crimean Peninsula, he called for the protection of Crimean Tatars but accused Western governments of hypocrisy over their position on Crimea. Çakar condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and said Russia were "war criminals". Days prior to the beginning of the invasion, he had proposed an act to the Mejlis supporting the territorial integrity of Ukraine and condemning Russia over human rights abuses against the Crimean Tatars. After Russia further annexed four provinces it occupied during the invasion in September 2022, he described the territorial expansion as "illegitimate and not a true representation of the self-determination of the people of those areas". He expressed concern over the Wagner Group mutiny and praised its peaceful resolution and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko's role in mediating the end of the mutiny, calling for Russia to use the "mood for mediation and peaceful settlement of disputes" to end the war in Ukraine.

Middle East

He called for a permanent ceasefire during the war between Israel and Hamas which began in 2023, condemned violence by both sides and warned against the expansion of the conflict into neighbouring countries. He additionally stated that he regarded the actions of the IDF as genocide against Palestinians.

United States of America

During the protests after the death of George Floyd, Çakar stated that it was a "tragedy" and there were "many systematic issues in America regarding socio-cultural relations between classes and races, as well as the police's role in America's society".
