Zafer Party Deputy Chairman Şehirlioğlu responds to alliance claims with AKP

Zafer Party Deputy Chairman Prof. Dr. Ali Şehirlioğlu has issued a statement regarding recent claims concerning the party's Chairman. Şehirlioğlu warned the public, stating that some information circulating on social media does not reflect the truth.

Clarifying the process regarding the indictment, Şehirlioğlu said, 'This is an incorrect statement. I would like to share this with you. The information currently reaching our chairman through his lawyers is as follows: All documents and information pertaining to the indictment have been submitted to the prosecutor's office and included in the file. It is currently in the approval process at the prosecutor's office,' he stated.

'CLAIMS OF MERGER WITH AKP ARE BASELESS'

Addressing the rumors of a merger with the AKP, Şehirlioğlu emphasized that there is no official statement on this matter at this time. 'We all hear things every day, but there is no official statement made on this subject right now. If such a situation were to exist, it would be announced officially with the knowledge of our chairman,' he said.

Regarding the claims in question, Şehirlioğlu said, 'Such posts are quite significant. In recent days, our chairman's food boycott was interpreted by some circles as a hunger strike. This is also not true,' he said.

Şehirlioğlu concluded his statement with the following words:

'Please do not give credence to posts made outside of our chairman's account, our party's official account, or my personal account.'
