A message has arrived from CHP's presidential candidate İmamoğlu, who was arrested as part of a "corruption" investigation into the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) and removed from his mayoral duties.

In the message shared on the X account of CHP İzmir Deputy Uzun, İmamoğlu included the following statements:

"I am addressing the mindset that sees itself as the owner of everything. Do not be stubborn with the nation. For 105 years, the star-and-crescent Turkish flag has been waving in these lands with the principle that 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation'! Do not forget... The nation is greater!"
