Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş has responded to statements made by CHP Spokesperson Müslim Sarı regarding a meeting he allegedly held with him. Yavaş stated that he did not hold any meeting with Sarı concerning his political future and emphasized that any statements on this matter should be heard directly from him.
In a statement issued through the ABB, Yavaş expressed that no meeting regarding any political decision had taken place with Müslim Sarı.
Yavaş stated, “No meeting has taken place with Müslim Sarı regarding any political decision.”
Stating that his priority is the balance in the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Council and serving Ankara, Yavaş used the following expressions regarding his political future:
“My priority is the balance in the ABB council and my service to Ankara. You will only hear statements regarding my political future and stance from my own mouth.”
The statement issued by the ABB is as follows:
“*PRESS BRIEFING*
Following the statement made by CHP spokesperson Mr. Müslim Sarı, we would like to clarify a matter in order to inform the public accurately.
No meeting has taken place between Mr. Mansur Yavaş and Mr. Müslim Sarı regarding Yavaş’s political future or any political decision of his.
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş’s priority at this stage is the balance in the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Council and the uninterrupted continuation of services to Ankara. Elections will be held in the coming days for the vacant positions in the Municipal Council. During this process, it is of great importance to protect the common will and to act in unity and solidarity.
Especially while claims are being openly voiced by certain circles in recent days that an operation will be carried out against the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality and that the municipal administration will pass to the AK Party by changing the balance in the Municipal Council; we do not find it appropriate for Mr. Yavaş’s political future to be dragged into these discussions when there is not even an election process that has started yet.
Mr. Yavaş has clearly expressed his stance on this matter many times before, stating, “When I deem it necessary, you will hear the statement from me personally.”
He remains at the same point today.
No statement not made by Mr. Yavaş himself should be considered a decision made on his behalf or a stance taken by him.”
WHAT DID MÜSLİM SARI SAY?
CHP Spokesperson Müslim Sarı had stated that they had met with Yavaş and announced that Yavaş would continue to remain in the CHP.
