Why did the 'Yerlikaya' name not emerge for Istanbul in the AKP? The Süleyman Soylu claim...

Journalist Nuray Babacan wrote that she claims the team running a campaign against Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya during the AKP's Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality mayoral candidate selection process belonged to former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu.

In her column today, Babacan shared the following behind-the-scenes information:

"We had written that the most important reason for abandoning Yerlikaya, who first did not want the candidacy and then entered the running, was his 'potential to act independently.' Yerlikaya's pro-Atatürk rhetoric was also not well-received by the ultra-conservative base. Let us report that Yerlikaya holds AKP trolls responsible for this atmosphere created against him and claims that they are the Süleyman Soylu team."
