Attack on IYI Party candidate! Vehicle shot at

According to the report by Hasan Dönmez from Aydın Cesur Haber, Korkmaz noticed the incident, which occurred in front of his house, in the morning hours and notified the police. While law enforcement continues its extensive investigation at the scene, it is not yet known who or whom carried out the attack. Making a press statement at the party building regarding the matter, IYI Party Nazilli Mayoral candidate Cüneyt Korkmaz said, 'These actions cannot intimidate us.'

"WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH AMBITION"

In his statement, Korkmaz said, "A sad incident occurred this morning. When I got up this morning, upon being informed by our driver, we saw that the vehicle in front of our door had sustained material damage from a bullet hole. We notified the police department. They came and inspected it; the investigation is still ongoing. We are waiting for the results. We are conducting a peaceful election campaign in Nazilli. I am a tradesman in Nazilli; there is no possibility of me having any external commercial enemies. We want to serve Nazilli. We have projects for Nazilli. We think this incident might have been carried out to set us back, but it will not succeed. Because this will only make us more ambitious. We will continue our work with more enthusiasm and ambition. However, regarding our rivals, or whoever is behind this perception or this action, there are aspects of these events that are significant. The fact that it happened after these developments also bothered us, but I believe that an election in Nazilli should be held in a democratic atmosphere, with courage, and that the election should be won with a clear conscience and by the will of the people.

Our hearts could not bear the thought of preventing the wishes and desires of the people of Nazilli, or causing them this disloyalty and victimization through obstructive actions. The people of Nazilli are free to choose the life they want and the mayor they want. No one has the right to influence the people of Nazilli or try to dissuade them from making such a decision. Only property damage has occurred. This cannot intimidate us in our future political work; we will continue to work more ambitiously. On March 31, all the people of Nazilli will see this," he said.

"THESE ACTIONS CANNOT INTIMIDATE US"

Aydın Provincial Chairman Ahmet Ertürk said the following: "They saw that the election is being won in Nazilli. Yesterday, our Chairperson visited Aydın and Nazilli. She wanted to visit tradesmen and touch base with the people, but there was such a beautiful crowd that we could not walk. We walked 10 meters in exactly one hour. So, I suppose some people saw that the election is being won in Nazilli. Of course, I am not accusing any person, organization, or political party at this moment, but it is significant that a vehicle known to belong to them was fired upon and a bullet remained in the headrest. This might be a message according to them, but we have no hesitation or fear of such things. We will not take a single step back regarding this. This has only made us more ambitious. Hopefully, we will win Nazilli and many other districts in this election. Our hope is that our police forces will uncover this person or persons as soon as possible. No one can intimidate us in this way."
