His son Ali Kaya was arrested: Remarkable words about Erdoğan from İmamoğlu's father-in-law

Fehmi Kaya, the father-in-law of the imprisoned Ekrem İmamoğlu, stated in a video he shared following the arrest of his son Ali Kaya: "I have three children inside. İmamoğlu, Cevat Kaya, and last night they took my youngest son, Ali Kaya. Why? For the sake of votes. We have no other dealings with anyone. How can I say this is my fellow countryman? Such a thing cannot be, how can it be? Forget about my fellow countryman, let them be a citizen of Turkey, no matter where they are from, such insults cannot happen. This is not done. Slander cannot be made." Fehmi Kaya, who said he supported AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the past, said, "Erdoğan is a person from our hometown, I was very happy. I said, 'If a head of state can come from every hometown, why shouldn't one come from ours?' I stood by him and supported him."

Ali Kaya, the brother of Dilek İmamoğlu, the wife of CHP's imprisoned presidential candidate and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, has been arrested as part of a drug investigation.

İmamoğlu's father-in-law and Ali Kaya's father, Fehmi Kaya, made remarkable statements in a video he shared.

The 90-year-old Kaya, who has lived in Üsküdar for about 40 years and is registered in the Vakfıkebir district of Trabzon, expressed his evaluations regarding the different governments he has seen throughout his life in the video.

Kaya said the following:

'I don't know Menderes, but I know the times of Cemal Gürsel after Menderes. The man always provided good services to the country. He left and Demirel came. He also managed the country as a very good statesman. Everyone was satisfied with him. May God rest his soul. After Demirel left, Özal came. Özal was a very good statesman, he did not hurt his citizens. He did not arrest and throw any of his citizens into prison. He also passed away, may God rest his soul as well. After that, Tansu Çiller came. She served as prime minister for us. After Tansu Çiller, Erdoğan came.

'I STOOD BY ERDOĞAN, I SUPPORTED HIM'

Erdoğan is a person from our hometown, I was very happy. I said, 'If a head of state can come from every hometown, why shouldn't one come from ours?' I stood by him and supported him. After that, my child came to that position. Who came? Ekrem İmamoğlu came and became the Mayor of Istanbul. Of course, I stood by him, he is my child.

I haven't even drunk a glass of tea for my own benefit or interest. I worked in my own job, I earned it myself, I ate it. I did not make a request like 'let me take from the party, let me take from the state, I helped you, now you help me.' My father passed away while praying, and I am his child. Bring hashish, drugs, put them side by side, show them to me, I don't know them. I swear I don't know them, I swear I don't know them. Where did these come from? These are slander, lies, and wrong. I cannot believe where Erdoğan hid these evils. For the sake of winning, the calculation of 'let me stay for another term' or 'let my son win', 'let me win'...'

'BEING IN POWER DOES NOT HAPPEN THIS WAY'

God Almighty will one day ask for an account of inflicting so much oppression on the nation. Being in power does not happen this way. Getting votes does not happen this way, as far as I know. I was also involved in politics. Politics happens with gentleness, politics happens with love. You cannot even get votes from your own family with evil, let alone the nation. Throw one there, throw one here, take the other and put them in prison, throw them into a cell, does it happen like this? This country is the country of all of us. Turkey belongs to all of us. This country, which is like paradise, belongs to all of us. I have three children inside. İmamoğlu, Cevat Kaya, and last night they took my youngest son, Ali Kaya. Why? For the sake of votes. We have no other dealings with anyone.


How can I say this is my fellow countryman? Such a thing cannot be, how can it be? Forget about my fellow countryman, let them be a citizen of Turkey, no matter where they are from, such insults cannot happen. This is not done. Slander cannot be made. This is what I know. It is a pity, it is a sin. If the oppressor has oppression, the oppressed has God. An account of these will be given one day, it will be given one day, one day.”
