Holiday visit to Silivri from Kılıçdaroğlu: 'I am calling on all citizens...'

Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu met with several detainees at Silivri Prison on the first day of Ramadan Bayram. It was noted that the names visited included Ekrem İmamoğlu, Ümit Özdağ, and Osman Kavala.

In his statement, Kılıçdaroğlu celebrated the holiday for all citizens. Using the phrase, 'I wish them a peaceful and happy holiday,' Kılıçdaroğlu shared details regarding his prison visit. It was reported that the individuals Kılıçdaroğlu met with at the prison also included Can Atalay, Şükrü Genç, Rıza Akpolat, and Mehmet Murat Çalık.

'First of all, I celebrate the Ramadan Bayram of all my fellow citizens in Turkey. I wish them a beautiful holiday with their peaceful families. On the first day of the holiday, I met with my CHP friends and mayors who are in Silivri. I met with Ekrem İmamoğlu, Osman Kavala, Can Atalay, Şükrü Genç, Rıza Akpolat, Mehmet Murat Çalık, and Ümit Özdağ. When I asked the Chairman about his situation, he said his document is waiting at the prosecutor's office. This document needs to be submitted to the court as soon as possible. 

He expressed his thought that if it is submitted, he could move beyond the situation he is currently in. I promised him that I would voice this. I would like to make a call to all my fellow citizens from here. We do not have the right to fall into despair. We are people who have set out to build beautiful days to come. We must build these beautiful days not only for ourselves but for our children, for our Turkey, and for our region.'

After the visit, Kılıçdaroğlu exchanged holiday greetings with journalists and subsequently left the area.
