Following the detention of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu in a dawn raid as part of a 'terrorism' and 'corruption' investigation into the municipality, a state of emergency has been declared within the CHP.
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş, who was in Taiwan on a previously planned trip on the day İmamoğlu was detained, arrived in Istanbul early this morning.
Yavaş made statements to journalists. When asked about rumors that an investigation might be launched against him as well, Yavaş said, "Since the day I became mayor, anyone can examine my bank accounts; they are open. But it seems to me that they might find some deviant person and have them say things against us."
Yavaş's statements are as follows:
Justice is necessary for everyone. We learn the signs of an operation beforehand from commentators on TV, and then the operations begin.
Investment does not come to a country where there is no trust in law and justice. On my way here, I saw that everyone, including the BBC, has put this event on their agenda.
Since the day I became mayor, anyone can examine my bank accounts; they are open. But it seems to me that they might find some deviant person and have them say things against us.
HE WILL VISIT DİLEK İMAMOĞLU
It has been learned that Yavaş, who has arrived in Istanbul, will first visit Ekrem İmamoğlu's wife, Dilek İmamoğlu, and then proceed to Saraçhane.
