Double investigation into Özel from Ankara and Istanbul! He reacted sharply: 'There is no turning back from this'

An investigation was launched yesterday against Republican People's Party (CHP) Chairman Özgür Özel due to the remarks he made regarding Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Akın Gürlek. In the statement made by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that the grounds for the investigation were "threatening a judicial officer to prevent them from performing their duty" and "publicly insulting a public official due to their duty."

SECOND INVESTIGATION COMES FROM ANKARA

The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has also launched an investigation into Özel due to his remarks about Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Akın Gürlek.

Speaking to TELE1, the CHP leader reacted sharply to the investigations.

"IF THEY GET TOUGHER, I WILL CONTINUE TO GET TOUGHER"

Stating, "I am saying exactly what they understand. Let those who need to receive the message from here receive it. The knife is at the bone. There is no turning back from this," Özel noted the following:

My sentence yesterday was this: 'If I see a scene that will upset families, children, mothers, and fathers again, I will not let it slide. I will make you regret it. I put my signature under this. It does not bind Tele1, nor does it bind the television stations that broadcast this. It is my own statement. One cannot play with the honor of so many people. They have put Hasan Akgün, who has served in public office for 50 years and 4 months, at the very front. First of all, these people are innocent until their crimes are proven. I am saying this. I said, 'If I see it again, we will gather in a way that we will not disperse,' and this means: 'Do not go any further, or we will go much further.' I am saying exactly what they understand. I don't know where we will gather or how much we will not disperse. Let those who need to receive the message receive it. The knife is at the bone. After this point, if they engage in such dishonorable acts, if they continue to play with our honor, if they slander, if a fair trial regime is not established... If they get tougher, I will continue to get tougher. I will do whatever they understand from this. After this point, there is no turning back from this.

"THE ANKARA CHIEF PUBLIC PROSECUTOR IS ALSO TAKING REVENGE"

Regarding the second investigation opened in Ankara, Özel noted the following:

One of those investigations is the one Akın Gürlek opened against me out of his own ambition. Let him open it, there is nothing to be done. But the second investigation is a very nice act of revenge. Akın Gürlek had Ümit Özdağ detained in Ankara while he was eating and brought to Istanbul because of a speech he made in Antalya. This is an insult to these Antalya and Ankara chief prosecutors. Because of his jurisdiction, Akın Gürlek cannot even look at Kartal. Ümit Özdağ spoke in Antalya, and the Ankara Chief Prosecutor says, 'I am detaining you from your place of duty.' The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor is taking revenge on him by opening an investigation into a speech I made in Istanbul, teaching him a lesson. The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor is not doing anything irregular again. Since my place of duty is Ankara, he is authorized again. But he was never authorized regarding this Ümit Özdağ issue."

Some highlights from Özel's remarks are as follows:

"A person named Aziz İhsan Aktaş has become a confessor. This person was called a criminal organization leader. He is currently outside. A criminal organization leader is sent home because he confessed to a crime. The leader accuses this person, accuses that person, and goes home.

Hakan says; 'My Chairman, if I have taken a single penny in bribes, let them hang me in Taksim.' The kid believes in himself that much. At the minute the HTS records exist, he is distributing flowers to teachers at schools near the gas station in question. He has a live broadcast. On the second day, he is holding an opening at the stated time. The third is the program where he meets with students within the scope of the Erasmus program in the same region.

First, he finds the person he will accuse. He gets the base station records. He gets the base station records of the person he will slander for mediating. He highlights the overlapping places. He cannot access Aziz İhsan Aktaş's base station records. They push them in front of him. He gave a 5-page statement, his statement lasted 3 days. They worked meticulously. He gives the time and date and says, 'They met here.' It is not something to be said without the base station records being put in front of him. Under these conditions, will they be satisfied with this? Will the AKP municipal council members say, 'It's ours' about that municipality with this setup? Including Hakan, including Aykut, our mayors, some business people I don't know... The other day, they grabbed a woman murderer by both arms and threw him into the back of the car, they even reacted to that. Two police officers, one on each arm, lined up like a string for men who might be released a day later... There is footage of him coming out of the pit. I saw this and went crazy.

My sentence yesterday was this; 'If I see a scene that will upset families, children, mothers, and fathers again, I will not let it slide. I will make you regret it. I put my signature under this. It does not bind Tele1, nor does it bind the television stations that broadcast this. It is my own statement. One cannot play with the honor of so many people. They have put Hasan Akgün, who has served in public office for 50 years and 4 months, at the very front. First of all, these people are innocent until their crimes are proven. I am saying this. I said, 'If I see it again, we will gather in a way that we will not disperse,' and this means: 'Do not go any further, or we will go much further.' I am saying exactly what they understand. I don't know where we will gather or how much we will not disperse. Let those who need to receive the message receive it. The knife is at the bone. After this point, if they engage in such dishonorable acts, if they continue to play with our honor, if they slander, if a fair trial regime is not established... If they get tougher, I will continue to get tougher. I will do whatever they understand from this. After this point, there is no turning back from this.

Tayyip Erdoğan was tried for all these accusations. He was not taken from his home for a single day, he was not kept in custody. The verdict was finalized, he was sent off with drums and pipes. He still boasts about the number of visitors he received while he was inside. Ekrem İmamoğlu was detained from his home, kept in a disgusting place at Vatan Police Headquarters for four days, arrested, is being tried while under arrest, there is a visitor restriction, and it is forbidden to hang his picture. The other one published a book of poems.

That was the February 28 Coup, this is the February 30 Coup, there is no such thing. There is no such ruthlessness, no such lack of conscience. We are fighting for the honor and dignity of our friends and our party, and for the families of these people. First my friends will return to their homes, then I will return."

"I AM DEFENDING THE INNOCENT, TAYYİP ERDOĞAN DEFENDED THE THIEF"

Expressing that Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is in prison, has had high morale since the first day, Özel continued as follows:

"He is preparing to be the president in the next election. Extremely motivated. They are trying to prove the 'Ekrem İmamoğlu criminal organization' constructs. They are trying to create evidence to reach the target. When it first started, they searched for the people Ekrem President sold apartments to. Then they attempted this coup. They raided his father's house, they raided his summer house. How did shoeboxes and money counting machines come out of their houses? I am defending the innocent, Erdoğan defended the thief on December 17-25.

At this point we have reached, this prosecutor believed that I would find safes and money. He came and failed. He started with false witnesses... There is no concrete evidence. This time he tried to make those inside confessors. They want the detainees to slander Ekrem President. Which statement should we believe? These people raped the truth itself. They killed the truth itself. Do you know who is the luckiest in this type of investigation right now? If there is a real thief, a briber, he got away with it. He also got mixed in among so many innocent people."

WHAT IS ERDOĞAN'S GOAL?

Özgür Özel gave the following answer to the question, "What is Erdoğan's plan, his goal?":

"Erdoğan's goal is to stay in power. He said it in the past few days. He wants to sit in the seat as long as there is life in his body. Opposite him is Ekrem İmamoğlu, who took the Beylikdüzü Municipality from him and defeated his candidates 3 times in Istanbul. Erdoğan saw himself as the 'Invincible Armada,' didn't he? What he understands from the ballot box is 'A game where more than one party competes and Erdoğan wins,' everything is permissible to win. What does he say in the election after December 17-25, 'My nation acquitted us.' The ministers' children were caught with money, the ministers were caught. The prime minister of the period said, 'If my brother committed theft, I would cut off his arm.' He removed him from the prime ministry because he wanted to send the files to the Supreme Court.

Erdoğan sees the ballot box like this; 'An area where parties compete, he wins the election, acquits himself, and grants unconditional legitimacy for the next 5 years.' This went on like this until March 31. He saw this; he is no longer invincible. The golden belt is gone. As Chairman, Özgür Özel defeated him, Ekrem İmamoğlu defeated his candidates. He is no longer invincible, but there is an invincible one, and that is Ekrem İmamoğlu. He defeated his candidates in 4 elections. Tayyip Bey, in the psychology of not being able to defeat Ekrem Bey, says, 'We cannot go to the next elections, my opponent should not be this person.' Either he will eliminate the opponent, or he will eliminate the election. We are trying not to let Tayyip Bey seize that ballot box. That ballot box is entrusted to us by Mustafa Kemal and İsmet İnönü. Today, Erdoğan is trying to take this achievement from our hands and transition from democracy to dictatorship. He is staging a coup. There is no camouflage, there is a prosecutor's robe."

"IF 4-5 MILLION PEOPLE SAY EARLY ELECTION, THE BALLOT BOX COMES"

Regarding the early election, Özel commented, "Neither Özgür Özel nor Erdoğan can decide on an early election. The people themselves decide." Özel continued as follows:

"I say to everyone in Turkey; if we are going to protect democracy, if we are going to bring about an early election, if 4 million, 5 million people in a square say 'early election' without saying 'I don't like this side of yours, I don't like that side of yours,' and resist, if they come not to return when necessary, that ballot box will come. We expect democrats who object to the one-man regime, to the lack of elections, and to the lack of ballot boxes to be part of this struggle."
