Tense moments occurred while Yavaş was speaking. The AKP Mut District Chair stood up in anger, shouted "You are speaking incorrectly, Mr. Mayor," and walked toward the podium.
The AKP District Chair was removed from the area through the intervention of citizens and security forces.
Following the incident, CHP Mut District Chair Abdurrahman Günay stated that a detention order had been issued against him:
According to the report on Halk TV, Günay stated the following regarding the events:
"I am the Mersin MUT CHP District Chair. Yesterday, an olive and olive oil festival was held in our district. Our Mersin Metropolitan Mayor Vahap Seçer and our Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş also attended. Protocol speeches were made.
"YOU ARE SPEAKING INCORRECTLY"
Mayor Mansur spoke last. In his speech, he spoke very well about the country's problems and municipal work. As soon as the speech ended, our AKP District Chair friend shouted, 'You are speaking incorrectly, Mr. Mayor. Healthcare has not collapsed, and justice has not collapsed. You are speaking incorrectly.' He threw the plastic bottle in his hand to the ground and tried to rush toward Mayor Mansur in a rage. Citizens tried to hold him back. Security forces also tried to restrain him, and he was removed.
"HE CLAIMED THAT I STARTED THE INCIDENT AND HIT HIM"
There is a situation like this: in his statement, he claimed that Mayor Mansur's bodyguards attacked him, that I started the incident, and that I hit him. I gave my statement this morning along with one of our deputies. There was a detention order, and the order was lifted after the statement. We made a statement that we had no involvement in this matter. AKP friends made posts claiming an attack by the CHP Youth Branches. We also issued a press release stating that we had no involvement.
"A NEW DETENTION ORDER IS BEING ISSUED"
A new detention order has been issued against us. They are currently calling us to the police station. Our Provincial Chair, our district chairs, and the Mersin Bar Association President are with me. The BBP district chair was next to me. I never left my seat in the protocol section, where I was with my wife. I have no involvement. The police also have video recordings. Despite this, the prosecutor is being changed and a new detention order is being issued. Get well soon."
