'THE POLITICIAN OF OUR HOUSE IS EKREM'

Dilek İmamoğlu said, "I have not changed as Dilek. Whatever I said last year, the situation is still the same. I have always been sensitive to my country, the environment, and the world. Just as I have until today, I will continue to concern myself with the problems of my country and work especially in the field of social responsibility from now on as well. But the politician of our house is Ekrem, and we, as his family, will continue to support him on this journey."

"Millions of our citizens raising their voices with the same demand for justice, democracy, law, and equality; young people courageously demanding a hopeful future by using their constitutional rights, and the support shown for Ekrem and his colleagues from all over Turkey. All of this gives hope and courage; fear becomes a feeling that remains deep down.

Like everyone else, I am most saddened by the young people who were arrested. What conscience does it fit into for the young people of this country, who are its future, to be arrested unlawfully for expressing their demands for justice and democracy by using their democratic rights?

This mistake, which wounds society and the youth's belief in justice even more deeply, must be reversed as soon as possible."
