FROM ÖZGÜR ÖZEL AGSTATEMENTSONTHE AGENDA

As a guest on the Halk TVbroadcast, CHP ChairmanÖzgürblood Özgür Özel stated that following the victory he achieved at the convention,he received 'congratulatory messages' from all otherparties, but did not receive anycongratulations from AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Regarding the interim decision to release 19 people in the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) investigation, he answered the questionreferring Özel, to the questionof the investigation process, noted that theallegations raised were not included in the 237-dayindictment prepared,drawing attention to this fact. drawing attention, he said, "All of ourfriends should be tried without arrest."

Regardingthe 19 people released with the interim decision given today,Özel said, "They are telling ourfriends, 'Sorry, we arrested you, but we couldn't find anything to add to the indictment.' It is a shame for these people; why were these people kept in custody for months!"

"They arrested our friends based on statements, and their what will happen tothe children, Özel spoke as follows:

"We are of course happy for those who were released today, but we are ashamed on their behalf and on behalf of Turkey. In this process, people whose names will not even be in the indictment when the day comes, were held there for months, and unfortunately we could do nothing. could not do anything. Nothing wedid could prevent thisevil."HE SPOKE ON THE ISSUE OF BROADCASTING THE TRIALS ON TRT

Regarding the question about his party's demand that 'the trials be broadcast on TRT' being rejected by AKP-MHP votes

he said the following: responding, CHP Chairman , "Now there are two possibilities. I am openI have expressed this and I am waiting for an answer from those concernedregarding this. The first possibility; if they rejected it saying 'we submitted the motion but it was CHP's idea'so that it wouldn't happen, then let them submit their motions next week, and we willvote in favor of their motion.Let them bring the legislative proposal. In fact, letviewslet them add a clause to one of the laws or omnibus bills currently being discussed, thisevening, tomorrow evening. Let's say yes and moveon. No, if that is notthe case, the situation is much more dire," he said.

Özel, MHP Chairman Reminding that Devlet Bahçeli also supported broadcasting live, he continued his response as follows:

"The issue is also a bit about, you know, the nation's criminalsit was the tone of the hammer, let's admit that too. I meanit was the tone of the hammer, let's admit that too. I mean it was the tone of the hammer, let's admit that too. I meanlook at it this wayit was saying: It was clear that he was expecting a strong indictment, I mean. Since they say so, let's seeand so on. Then Mr. Erdoğan said, "If Mr. Devlet saidso, it is appropriate," and so on. Now both of them are saying no. As I said, if it is because we submitted a motion, then let their own motion come immediately. But what if it isnot? Then it is this: That the indictment did not turn out as they expected, that our friends' innocence was proven by the indictment, that there is no concrete evidence, that the so-called concrete evidence is not concrete enough, but that those powerful allegationslike an octopus, enveloping all of Turkeyit has wrapped its arms, a regime and well, that thing mechanismand so on... Where? Where? And the most striking allegations, the most strithe allegations are completely baseless andemerged."

"I would like to remind you once again. Forexample, the footage from the Gaziosmanpaşa Municipalitywas shown on TRT witha bright red banner underneath it emerged, a secret safe was reached in Gaziosmanpaşa. I am watching it too. The safe was opened, from inside the safe, the things coming out out, the dollars just keep coming, Recalling the broadcastsmade by TRTduring theinvestigation process, Özelcontinued hisremarks as follows:

"GaziosmanpaşaThey said dollars were found in the secret safe in the mayor's office of it. The search report arrived. A note. I asked, what is this secret safe? Gaziosmanpaşa Municipality was taken from the AK Party, and it was the AK Party'ssecret safe from that periodit was. A huge safe. In the search report, documents belonging to the municipality'sseal, deliveryfrom the day it was receivedwere foundthe financial situation and so on, the hard drive where it was hidden, or rather this digital disk, was handed over during the transition. This is our financial situation, and this is the seal. So I asked, what are these images? CallTRT. TRT said they came from Anadolu Agency. We called Anadolu Agency. The live search footage of Gaziosmanpaşawas not in our possessionsowe used stock video. Previously stock video, meaning money being taken from a safefootage.We are currently in an investigation where this is being done. The state's television, the state's agency, the agency that Atat

ürk founded so that it would report the truth from the front, the television that was established so that our state could conduct public broadcasting and inform the public in a reliable manner, adhering to the law and ethics, is now working with the chief public prosecutor's offices in Istanbulin an invisible way; that is, if there is an octopus, it is here, an invisible connection.This is a structure that is being used to create a perception.They are trying to build a case against the next government.They are trying to prepare the ground for a future political climate.manipulated bycharacter assassinationthe arrest of our mayor, and in Gaziosmanpaşa, installing a deputy mayor through a parliamentary voting game for a municipality they could not win, and that deputy mayor is now posing as if he were the mayor there. Inside, there is my innocent mayor.Be are in such a process. Now they don't want these to be discussed on TRT. That is whyI explainedthe TRT detail. On the channel where these are watched, now wewill come out and say: "Here is the search report of the Gaziosmanpaşa Municipality, and here is your perception operation."

All of this information is pumped out early in the morning, through WhatsApp groups created by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, to judicial reporters, but in the end, the truth is notat all likethat. The same thing happened a second time with this TRT and Anadolu Agency, regarding Mr. Mustafa Akın, Ekrem Bey's close protection officer, a commissioner, a police chief'sprotection officer, from the safe in the highland house... I asked about that safe, it's a cheap safe bought from A101, with the gun on his waist so that children and grandchildren wouldn't play with it.The password for the cheap safe is 1-2-3-4. They call, ask for the password, he gives it, and they go there. They say your private securityhas a highland house in Giresun. A highland house, he goes to the highland house in Giresun, or maybe Ordu, let's not get it wrong, they look and find a safe. They call, he gives the safe password 1-2-3-4 over the phone. Inside, 48 service pistolsand the expected ammunition belonging to them. On TRT, the image; Euros, Euros, Euros. A nd now, would they want these to be broadcast on TRT?patterns? That is why I interpret this attitude asa change.

You can see that Mr. Tayyip has also withdrawn from behind the indictment. Before the indictment waseven released, 8 months ago "Let the indictment be issued,and within a month they won't be able to look each other in theface.' 8 months later, there is not a single AK Party member talking about the indictment.Instead of AK Party members talking about the indictment, there are journalists. They were misinformed throughout the summer, they madethings up, claiming it was proven that 1,200 mobile phones were purchased by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and distributed to 1,200 CHP delegates, yet there is not a single word about it in the indictment. The other one says Fatih Kelethey say 2 million Euros from here cameout from under the parquet floor, there is nosuch thing at all. Now they are asking our friends, we are asking, we are playing the video. Where are these? Someone says "I heard it that way, not every rumor is true at allthere is no such thing as it will come out," he says. The other one says, "People sometimes tell lies", mumbling something about the right to lie.I mean, is that possible? But people are inside because of these things.Therefore, the second reason for it not being broadcaston TRT, that is, what was done throughout the summeris the reason.The slander and character assassination are once again coming from TRT... Because TRT has a differentaudience. You know, there was a time when it was said that election resultsshowedthat the AK Party received 2.5 million more votes in places where only TRT is watched, and so on. So thatvotersdon't hear us go out and explain things clearly, and so our friends cannot defend themselves in that medium, now they aregoing back on their wordthey appear."

ÖZGÜR ÖZEL CANDIDACY DISCUPUT AN END TO THE DEBATES

"Our plan A is İmamoğlu's candidacy, our plan B is, and our plan Z is"it became an A to Z İmamoğlu slogan. Now there are no letters after Z, Mr. Özel. Why did you listfrom A to Z? Could you elaborateon that emphasis?are you? What were you trying toexplain there?" In response to the question, the CHP ChairmanÖzelreplied accordingly. He made the followingremarks:

"Right now, Mayor Ekrem is not Özgür Özel's or the CHP's, but the nation's candidate. Why? A party chairman is naturally the candidate of that party if they request it. I have stated that I will not exercise this right for myself.The party's authorized bodiesdetermine the candidate. I have said that we will use this with broader authority.We said so. We called for a primary. They made arrests on the day of the primarythey set up a court, exactly on that day they made arrests.We called it a solidarity ballot box, which has a place in ourstatutesasa public poll.We called it a solidarity ballot box. 15.5 million people came and voted."

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş's potential candidacy, the CHP Chairman stated that these types of debates were initiated by the government and said the following: "No, sir, notes

are being sent to columnists from the AK Party communications team, and even from the Presidential communications team. We are accessing them and sWe are saying it, and they are not denying it. "Sir, let this week be writtenintensively; İmamoğlu, Özgür Özel eliminated İmamoğlu, now he will eliminate Mansur Yavaş, he will be the candidate himself, and so on." As if the palace games that exist in their own parties are happening between me and Mayor Ekrem, Mayor Ekrem and me, me and Mayor Mansur, or Mayor Mansur and Mayor Ekrem."

"Look, the day Mayor Ekrem was arrested,Mayor Mansursaid, "Until this situation changes, I willsupport him with all my strength."I am in." There is absolutely nothing. He already went at the beginning he voted in the primaryelection. Now, in thisprocess, those who ask with very good intentionsare, I mean, you are also asking with good intentions as a journalist, but those who praise me under the direction of thepalaceor those who praise Mayor Mansurare doing sowhat they are trying todo is clear. They will start a candidacy debate within our party. That is why ourcandidate,our plan A, B, and Z is Ekrem İmamoğlu. We are stating this clearly.Apart from that,we are focusing on our work."

"They cannot prevent this, they are unable to. MyMy duty is to prepare my party for the election,and in terms ofelection security,toensuretheintegrityof the process.all of themhave changed. We have changed our program. Now, with the Presidential candidate office, we will turn this program into agovernment programitself we willturn it into. Policy notes will emergefrom here. At least 2,000 people, but thewith volunteers, 2 million people with members and volunteers, a part of that 15.5 million will also be mobilizedand will say 'I want towork'."

"Withyoung people, the history never seento establish the great election armyand make each one of them a presidentialcandidate, and ask each of them where they will undertakethe task and ask them themselves forexample, go to the workerabout unionizationtalk, that under a CHP government there is a fair return for labor, whether at workerbus stopswhile seeingworkers off to their jobs with their shuttles, or at the factorygates, is that what he wants to explain? Or is his language turning to agriculture,going to villages and talking about agricultureand farming?does he want to explain his policy? By knocking on the doors of housewives tohave a coffee,to have a tea, to visit them with asmall bag of coffee in hand and explain to them how housewives can be insured or explain the basic citizen income? With a huge propaganda army like this, to carry out perhaps the most colorful, the most powerful, and the most crowdedcampaign in the history of Turkish, perhaps even world, politics.campaign.

"Candidate A, B, and Z is Ekrem İmamoğlu. Oh, the letters ran out, do something. That gwhen the time comesit will be done. Until thatday, candidate discussions have no benefit to the party. Everyone, I mean, if the pro-governmentcolumnistswant to talk about this so much,it is in the national interest not to let them talk about it. That is where the interest of both the party and the nation lies."

"HE WHOBETRAYS HIS FRIEND TODAY WILLBETRAY LABOR TOMORROW"

Responding to a question regarding the phrase "Clear your name and come back," which was used by former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and also supported by Erdoğan, the CHP leader said Özgür Özel said, "If I were not as sure as my own name,I would not stand behind this matter so firmly," and added the following:

"But there is also a historical responsibility here. After all, this isthe Father's Hearth, the party founded by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. In this party, we have nominated candidates andbrought them to duty. We haveentrusted them with tasks.we have placed our friends, municipal council members we have placed.These friends have wonthe election.These friends have... they have become candidates for the second timeand won. We placed them for the first time, and beyond the pollsthey have received votes. they have received votes.jobs. Beyond all of them, there are satisfaction rates.You look and see that the CHPhas succeeded in localgovernments, winning the heartsand minds of the nation,and we are marchingtoward power. This marchTo stop themarch, whoever wastargeted andimprisoned,they and their families are my family.

Because to stop thismarch,to throw a wrench in the works of the AK Party's corrupt order, we are here behindfriends werethrown into prison. Otherwise, if there is anyone who uses the public duty we entrusted to them for their own enrichment,may God damn them a thousand times over. Anyone who stands behind them is also dishonorable. But our position is different. Because we threw a wrench into the AK Party's darkorder, this is being done to these peoplein this way.If it is being done, the dignity and honor of those people are entrusted to the chairman. Sir, forget about these things, let them crush them, you go look over there, or even run for president yourself. The nation does not entrust its own family to someone who does not stand up for them. It happens right before the nation'seyes. The nation does not give a duty on behalf ofTurkey to a silent devil who remains silent against suchinjustice.From theirtongue...to the other talk... This nation wants authenticity. That is whyno one should ever say, no one... "Leave Ekremto his own path." If I leave Ekrem, I leave my own dignity, my own honor... If I leave Ekrem behind, I would also leave behind all the poor people in Turkey who have pinned their hopes on us.Because today, someone who sells out their friend, today, a mayortoday, a mayortoday, a mayorwho betrays their leader, todaydoes not stand behind their candidatewill tomorrow betray the rights of the poor worker,the pensioner, and the laborer."

"THE MAN SITTING IN A THOUSAND-ROOM PALACE CALLS US ELITIST"

The ongoing'Stockholm Syndrome' debate in politicsResponding to Erdoğan, who claimed that the CHP is elitist with itsefforts,Özel said, "The man sitting in a thousand-roompalace calls us elitist."

"Thereare 10 limousine Mercedes in the world, and thesewere used by Merkel." produced. He sold one to the UnitedArab Emirates, two to Qatar, one to Saudi Arabia, and so on, and two to us. Theman whorides in the world's most expensive limousine calls me an elitist," said Özel, whospoke asfollows:

"The thousand-room palace is here, the summerpalace in the most beautiful bay of Muğla,the winter palace in Ahlat, the flyingpalaces from Qatar. There are floating palacesand palaces on wheels. Someone who benefits from all of these,uses them in every way, and has no hesitation, calls us elitist. Go and look,go and look at the parliament'sgarden."Look at the parking lot of a ruling party; will you see the cars of the elitists?Take a lookat the cars used by the Republican People's Party, look at the cars used by the people's party members."

"I have a proposal for Erdoğan. Let's enactthe politicalethics law. Starting with Mr. Erdoğan and myself, all deputies, all mayors... For example, let's look at the assets of both Mansur Yavaş and thecolleague who was forced to resign due to 'metal fatigue' before Mansur Yavaş, and the assets of their immediate family members. Let's focus on Mansur Yavaş and his children.And let's turn our attention to the Gökçek family.Let's focus on them.Let's take a look atthe wealth acquired without working.Let's see how the television stations were acquired, how the villas were acquired, how the residences were acquired, and how that much money was accumulated. Let's see who is the elitist and who is a bit more...humbleit is, let'ssee it."

"THERE IS NOBREAD FOR ERDOĞAN HERE" He also

addressed hisremarks of 'do not fall in love with your executioner' used at the convention.clarifyingthe matter, Özel emphasized that he did notmean the DEM Party.

"To all opposition leaders who visited our partyat Saraçhane and our Headquarters after March 19th to show their supportand speak out,I extend my thanks."thankyou. I am returning to the fact that the detention of the co-chairs, the detention of the Zafer Party chairman, and what was done to our friends are all the same thing, Iam saying, and I say that no matter which party they belong to, no one, whetherit isthose who say 'close the partyif it doesn't close, then close the Constitutional Court' should not forget their democratic credentials, and in the samesentence, I also say that no matter which party they belong to, no one should be the executioner of all votersshould not fall in love with their own Özel, spokeasfollows:

"Would I ever target theleadership of the DEM Party? I am someone who already objects to the opposition fighting among itself, and I believe that opposing the opposition is a favorto the ruling power." I am the one who takes responsibility for those wordsin parliament. I am trying to mediate between two opposition parties while they are fighting I amworking. What kind of criticism would I makeof the DEM Party'sleadership? But because it corresponds to a sentimenton the ground, because it expresses a very serious sentimentthatin... In other words, the AK Party and MHP will beat them when they want, insult them when they want, and love them when they want. And they always have this feeling that theywill be somewhere in the equation, which creates discomfort among oppositionvoters.We have said a hundred times that we are not against a solution, peace, the table, or a commission.We have said it a hundred times.We have said it a hundred times.

While they call the DEM Party terrorists, I am open to the DEM PartyI have not retreated even an inch from that relationship. Because 6.5 million people voted for it,a very significant portion of Kurdsvoted for it. I said, how can we ignore them? That iswhy, on this side of the matter, there is no fault on our part. I didn't even respond to them. I saidthat they should take itupon themselves. I have not retreated even an inch from that relationship.I said, let them be, may they be well. They took offenseand were hurt, may they be well. I didn't even respond to the things they said about me anymore, I mean. As for this issue of not going to the candidate through the administrators just nownot, it was extremely careful languageyou know, from the co-chairs and such, butlike that, from their circle, from theirThere were very harsh words from former executives, writers,and cartoonists. I mean, veryharsh words were spoken. Very

harsh words were spoken. We were also at a convention. At the convention, I still presented two pagesof important points regarding theKurdish issue. things Isaid. While telling this issue to all voters, I did not want to draw it upon them and use it to doto the Republican People's Party. I said, let them be well.

The co-chairs' statements were also about that, you know, that neighborhood taking this matter too much to heartand attacking the CHP.I understood the demand for me to speak out in terms of satisfactionand I perceived it, and I no longer gave an answer, that is. Because that is not what Imeant; if it were, I wouldsay it, why would I hesitate? But the Republican People's Party's convention,alot of topicsat the convention are soif it becomes an agenda item, this is a good thing. No one shouldthink of anymalicein this. We are engaging in authentic politics.We are engaging in politics based on substance.

We are engaging in politics based on substance. So, mWe are not just going through the motions. We are holding a convention like a real convention. With its enthusiasm, itsdiscourse, its outcome, and its staff. That is why I am extremely pleased with the conventionas awhole and itsoutcomes. Now, here, thepastis justlike this what happens is; thewhole of Turkey discussesa statement made by Mr. Tayyipat the AK Partyconvention, andthey talk and talk and talk about it, and then respond to it... Oh, hownice! I am at the convention...I have made, and days later, Mr. Tayyip is stilltrying to get some bread out of my convention. That bread will not come out."

Executioner debates Responding to thereaction Erdoğanshowedtowards him,theCHP leader replied by citingpast events. The Chairman made the following remarks:

"You will cause such processes that Kto the Kurds, and not just 100 years ago, 80 years ago or something, but today,just yesterday, just theirseireirthe co-chairs they electedwill be inside for 9 years.During the Sur incidents,you will open fire on the women who wanted to retrievethe whitecoffinsof their loved ones, 7 dthe funeral will be left on the ground. Our deputy Aysel Hanim's mother's funeral was probably buriedthey will attack the ground, they willlook at yours like that IMinistry of Interior. What things will happen then, todayeverything will change in an instant. Then you will go back 80 or 100 years and say, "When I say the Republican People's Party is the founding party of the republic, oh really, we were there too, there was a single party, we founded it all together, my grandfather was there too.""Grandfathers were together when the homeland was founded, together when the republic was founded, together when democracy was coming, and then when it comes to the executioner, only our grandfathers, h e will turn and look there

What executioner are you talking about? Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? So, for that reason, the past of this countryisamatterIf you are going to create hostility,you will also share the responsibility for that hostility. You cannot just take and... We did all the good things togetherbut if there is a flaw somewhere, you pin it solely on the CHP. That comfortable politicsis over. There is no bread for Mr. Tayyip here."

"REGARDING THE CANDIDATETO PUSH IS OUR JOB. IF WE STUMBLE, WE PASSED BYIT"

CHP's PKK terro rorganization ringleader Öcalan'to the commission delegation visiting responding to the reactions regarding not providing a memberÖzel said, "Going to the island is a hurdle for us, webypassedit."

Regarding the reaction to the publication of the meeting minutes by AKP member Hüseyin Yayman,who was among those who went to the candidate,Özel responded to his"if you are so curious, you should have come yourself"remarkby referencing a song byAhmet Kaya.showed.

"Hüseyin Yayman's, like the late Ahmet Kaya's song, said 'inconsistency wherever you look', saying 'inconsistency wherever you look' Özel said the following regarding whether his party would withdraw from the commission:regarding whether his party would withdraw from the commission:said:

"Now, ssignificant contribution to the processis expected to provide,itisbeing thought about, pursued, and discussed, but thisremains with Hüseyin Yayman. And he tells usthat If you wanted it so much,you should have come. Well, if we came, the information received would remain with the friend who brought it. IsHüseyin Yayman explaining it toAK Party members but not to us?Imean, there should be some seriousness to a matter, right? It is just a remarkmadefor the sake of talking. You should have come. would have learned. And the friend who leftwould have learned. If you keep it secret again and do not provide information to the commission, how would we have learned? Now, this visit is oncevery differ ent. They categorized it differently. I am saying thiswould have learned. And the friend who left would have learned. If you keep it secret again and do not provide information to the commission, howwould we have learned? Now, this visit is oncelet me say this; we are on a path, and our hope is that this path will resolve the Kurdish issue through democratic means and make Turkey a country without terrorism and a democratic nation, right?With that hope, we are in this commission."

"When we were entering, we said, 'Fear not the commission we are in, but the one we are not in.' Our greatestsupporthas been seen by thisstatement of ours."it. Both in the square, asstatedin the squares, on social media, and directly our organizations' voters were convinced by this approachof ours. Things have reached a point, the Imralı visit, which was one of the manyspeed bumps we encounteredalong the way. That is, on September 2my party's They appointed a trustee to the Istanbul Provincial Presidency. In Sarachane in Istanbul atÇağlayan, the Aktöras gang, throughout the summer, 10 courts have been dealing with such objections made against political partiesin Ankara, and expertsare reviewing themAs required by law, we went to the civil court of first instance in Istanbul, which saidwe do not have jurisdiction and sent it to Ankara."

"In Ankara, these were consolidated, it was alwayslack of jurisdiction, lack of jurisdiction, lack of jurisdiction... They found one that fit. They found a person who was formerly with the AK Party, whose spouse worked at the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) while they were a lawyer working at the General Directorate of Highways,and who had become a judge.With that match, they started hearing the case in Istanbul, which should have been sent to the Ankara Civil Court of First Instance. While all the consolidated cases in Ankara were being dismissed, the resultwhere it merged,they are currently holding that case and have appointed a trustee there."

"We did not recognize it, of course, we do not recognize it, and we will not recognize it; there is nothing there, but on September 2they helddisregarding the Istanbul Provincial Congress held, on September 2they appointed a trustee to the Istanbul Provincial Presidency, appointed a trustee to the Disciplinary Board Presidency, and the building is already subject to a lawsuit, and on top of that, the Congress and the Printo our building, which is the subject of a lawsuit,on September 8th, they entered with 5,000 police officers to installtrustees.They used tear gas on members of parliament.The building's ownmanagementwas under litigation. We have a cat there named Şanslı; they even took the cat to the veterinarian, and it stayed in the hospital for a month. They sprayed gas in the faces of members of parliament.a disgrace.They fired tear gas from close range. When asked if we would still sit on that commission under these conditions, we said, "Yes, we will sit on that commission because our ideas, our intentions, and our expectations are pure; we are there with good intentions."

"We knew how to distinguish between the two. Who could have said that? For example ,I have great respect, TTurkey The Workers'Party advocated for going, but after going, they did notdisclose the minutes, so I said I am leaving the commission. I respect that. The Republican People's Party has seensomuch.seenit.there is a political cost to staying despitesuch treatment. Your base, your members are asking you, while they are doing this to us, are you going to sit at the sametable? Yet we have stayed. We have had alot of difficulties,I mean, I won't list them one by one, what we went through all summer, the operations that werecarriedout, and so on. The people are sayingitwasappearing: So, the CHP has entered, meaning an agreement was made and the operations will stop. Would we do such a cheap thing? Would we be in a place where we wouldn't be in exchange for a bargain just so that operations would stop? Itis seen. But thejob It has reached such a point that moving toward a candidate is, for us,a difficulty on this path, for us,a speed bump.

"The MHPpassed over that bumpquickly, as I said.The AK Party passed by hiding. The DEM Party passed by wanting to. And we, on the sidepassed. But we are on thatpath.We want a solution. We want this matterto be resolved through democratic means. We want Kurds and Turks to solve this problem together and walk into the futurehand in hand.We want everyone to be both eWe want it to be equal and we want it to be prosperous. We do not want Israel to rub its hands in glee. We see the issue of all balances in Syria.We see the issue of all balances in Syria. We also want democracy and peace to come to Syria.We want peace to come to Syria. We want the Kurds in Syria to be happy as well.We want the Kurds in Syria to be happy as well. We want the Kurds in Syria to be part of the solution in Syria,and for Turkeyand Syria to be friends; instead of crises and risks coming from there to us, we want friendship and solidarity to flow from us to there and from there to us.We want friendship and solidarity."

The commission delegation's realÖzel, who reactedto the fact that the meetingheldremained secret,emphasized transparency and spokeasfollows:

This hurdle was a difficulty for us. We said we would take part in this commission. We would be open, we would be transparent, and we would do what we believe is right. This hurdleThey are treating it like an intersection. If youdon'tget on top ofthe speed bump, you'll veer off at this intersection. There is no such thing. But byforcing it like thisare. Now, at this point, we say that since this contribution was important, we also proposed this. I mean, the entire commission could listen to these contributions via an online connection. Or the Ministry of Justice could produce another formfor remote connection, whether it's SEGBIS or whatever it may be, these contributions could be taken. But now, no, that won't work, give us one eachyou will give the job. They even told me from the beginning that there would be no video.There will be no video, no photograph, it won't be clear what daythey go and return, and then there won't be any posters or anything, the presswon't be able to see.They even said, if you want, no one will know, and so on. We said that's not how it works; if we go, we go openlyandclearly.we go openly, openly openly speak, openly opwe will come, but in thisprocess we are lookingat, in thisprocess ourtruth is this decision of ours.

"You went, you went on behalf of the commission, you came back on behalf of the commission, and you say we received the contributions. Well, tellthat to the commission so we know too. No, we won't say that, we don't know. So from thisperspective, these minutes arethe fact that it will not bedisclosed, that a summary of the speech has been provided,and Yayman's attitude, these statements aretruly ridiculous. You both went and metandnow now you areyouarenotsayingit. Why aren't you saying it, I mean why aren't you disclosingit? What is the state's interest in this?

"If there is confidentiality, you could entrust it to a closed-door meeting; perhaps MIT is saying, 'Oh, some of thesentences ithappens this way or that way," and we don't think that is the case at all, I mean. Itappears fromcommunications made from other sides as well. And then itturnedand said if you wanted it so much, you should have come too. He himself did not goMr. Gökmen was saying something, right? Did Halil go himself? He was saying he didn't go, then it turned out he did go. He wasgetting an X-ray, from Imrali itcame out.

"A PERFECT, AK PARTY ORGANIZATION"

"Oneis truly surprised. The Governor of Şırnak is there, the District Governor of Cizre is there, the Chief Advisor to the President is there, the AK Party deputy is there, the AK Party Mayor of Şırnak is there," he said. Özel spoke on the subject

as follows:"A perfect, flawless,is a five-person AK Party organization. It is coming, theinternal issuesdiscussions, mutual compliments, and so on, aside, and the long-barreled weapons there, the close protection details, the fact that he is being protected as something, when there is a reaction from the citizens, when Devlet Bey reacts to thisthey open aninvestigationintoit."

"We all have protection details. When you go Countries have rules.You have a mutual agreementbased on those rules.You enter or you do not enter based on that.For example, my security detailis subject to different procedures for their weapons when entering America,and different procedureswhen entering Europe.is being implemented. They are preparing accordingly, according to that. In a country, another country's, as has been said before, apart from a symbolic soldier next to it,and they do not carrya presidentialaide-de-camp or uniformfor you. There are no long-barreled weapons. There are weapons of a certain caliber and specification, which are registered to the other side, and some countries create a lot of difficultiesfor them as well."

"If thatimage occurred in Turkey, it was exactly the oppositeAs understood from the statementofthe other side, it happened with the consensus of here and there. Let the AK Partyexplain this consensus. The AK Party administration and the state gave their approval for those weapons to enter.The implementation of that procedure,of that protection protocol,was authorized by the state.... They say they acted in accordance with the protocol. Let them release the protocol thenanddisclose it. What is that protocol? If they didn't act in accordance with the protocol, how did they come, cross the border, andattend the meeting?

"THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO STAGE A COUP AGAINSTTHE NEXT GOVERNMENT"

PKK leader Öcalan's 'SIf the process is notsuccessful, the possibility of a coup will emerge,' in response to the question'Is there a possibility of a coup in Turkey?' which came to the agenda following thoseremarks, Özel said, "First of all, the Israeli threat assessment is not one to be taken lightly. We must always keep this issue on the side, beI do not take into considerationwe need to. But of course, regarding coup matters, it islike this; the last coup was carried out by those whom the Justice and DevelopmentParty themselves pinned stars onto their epaulets, gave them whatever they wanted, handed them tanks and F-16s, and trusted solely because they believed they were pious, but who were essentially members of a betrayal. For thatreason, let us put that asidefor now," he said.

The coup attempt on July 15, 2016, emerged due to a lack of merit andstating that it emerged Özel said, "The lesson to be learned here was merit. You know, the AK Party provincial building in İzmir belonged to a FETÖ member and they were sitting in that building for free. That night they opened up and moved out of that building in a hurry, and hung a portrait of Atatürk in their new buildingthose days. In thosedays, we understood Atatürkand understood the importance of democracy.We understood the consequences of giving too much leeway to these sects, communities, deviants, and whatever other deviant groups there are.We understood the cost of indulging them.From now on, let us look at merit, not loyalty... Right? That is what they weresaying.using the expressions, he made the following assessment:

"Now you look again, inmany places, today not FETÖbut the paths of other structures are being opened,interviews are not beingabolished despite promises made,but on the contrary, they are being institutionalized and now It has reached such a pointthat in interviews, whensomeone says "Reis" (Chief), what comes to mind?They have brought Turkey to a point where those who say "Spinach" or "Popeye" are eliminated, while those who say "Tayyip Erdoğan" are hired as civil servants.The samemistake is being repeated; let us look at it from another perspective, let us see how a coup is avoided and what they did that made them face a coup.let us see.

"COUP MECHANICS ARE CURRENTLY AT WORK"

Aside from that,regarding this issue of coup mechanics, I also stated in my speech in parliament on, I believe, February 16th, that coup mechanics wereat work.On March 19th, I said that this was the coup I was referring to. I described the coup mechanics that were at work on February 18thas follows:Coupsthat we have knownuntil today are always carried out against the incumbent government. The government is the target. ButThe nation also looks to see 'what the opposition says about this coup,' and looks directly at the main opposition. I, on the night of July 15,stood against the coup and on the side of democracy as the Republican People's Party."

Emphasizing that coup mechanics are currently at work, the CHP Chairmanstated, "Unlike the others, this coup is not being attempted against the current government, but by the current government against the next government." areat work. It is being attempted by the current President against the next President areat work," he said.
