Özgür Özel speaks in Saraçhane: 'They attempted a coup against the next President, İmamoğlu'

Özgür Özel addressed the crowd filling Saraçhane:

This is an act of defiance against fascism, this is not a rally...

If the people decide who comes to power in a country, but others decide who leaves, then there is fascism there, there is a coup.

The conditions for gathering in this square continue, the conditions for dispersing have not been met, we will continue the struggle to the end.

Mr. Tayyip, the square is reacting quite well to you! Look at Mr. Tayyip's calculation: it happens on the first day, then it calms down, by the 3rd day it is forgotten...

Mr. Tayyip, do you see anyone here who will forget what you have done, who will let what you have done slide? Look at this square!

Those who see democracy as consisting only of the ballot box could not see one truth: we hold the election, if we win, we thank the people, we hold them in high esteem, we say the nation is behind us, and we sit down and govern.

If we are not elected, we lie, we slander, we remove the one the nation chose and sit in their place. It is not their choice that begins, but the term of the one I appointed.

The one they chose opens nurseries, opens City Restaurants (Kent Lokantaları), the one they chose deals with students, the youth, and the poor.

But when the one I appointed flies over Istanbul, if I like a piece of land, I say let's give this to the Emir of Qatar, to the Arab Sheikh, to this sheikh, and the one I appointed says 'as you command' and takes notes...

I build a Kanal Istanbul and sell its surroundings to the Qataris...

Well, this calculation worked for 25 years until March 31, 2019, while Mr. Tayyip and his appointees were managing Istanbul. He placed 256 skyscrapers in a city he took with four skyscrapers. He promised the Qataris, drew his projects, his dream was Kanal Istanbul, but the people of Istanbul said stop to this in 2019 and gave Istanbul to Ekrem İmamoğlu.

First, he said, 'Am I going to give Istanbul to him with a 13 thousand vote difference?', he did every dirty trick, but he could not overcome the determination of our representatives at the ballot boxes. We received the mandate and welcomed Mayor Ekrem.

This time, 45 days later, they had the election repeated... They passed over the bridge with their vehicles with flashing lights, they came playing Janissary band music. But when they saw the reaction of the nation, they fled the next day, and they could not deliver an Ottoman slap at the ballot box; instead, they received a Democracy slap.

Then for 5 whole years, your brother Ekrem continued to serve this beautiful city with all the services I have listed.

Look Erdoğan, it has been a week, what are the young people saying? 'This is just the beginning, the struggle continues'...

You know, some shameless people banned coming here, they are trying to disrupt transportation. They are trying to block the friends who are trying to come here in Galata, I am warning the friends who do this, come to your senses...

Over 80 of my deputy friends are struggling so that violence is not used. Let's look at Galata... Our hands could not be tied against what they are doing, but who were we going to trust?

Mr. Tayyip has judges, prosecutors, powerful media groups, and solid business people in his hands... We asked who we would entrust Mayor Ekrem to, and we looked and saw that we have the youth behind us, the retirees, the laborers, a huge Istanbul, Turkey!

As for the boycott, I said yesterday, look channel by channel, whoever broadcasts us, we hold them in high esteem; if they don't, stop watching their channels and advertisements... I said these people make us watch the channel, but they provide service to the Palace.

When I said this, two channels put us in the middle and put their commentators on the sides... We will also say the names of their firms... We are watching what they will do tonight, I am calling out to them, if these firms, these television stations... I will give good news in a little while... We will say hello to that...

"THEY ATTEMPTED A COUP AGAINST THE NEXT PRESIDENT, İMAMOĞLU"

I will tell you the exact figures regarding the election results... It would be great if they broadcast this while I am saying the important things, but if they don't see it, they will hit rock bottom...

Coups are of course made to change the government, the March 19 coup was also made to change the government, but not for today's government; they attempted a coup against the next President, İmamoğlu.

This was a failed coup attempt, this coup could only be stopped by you, who are braver, more determined, more faithful, and more honorable than the coup plotters, and you stopped it!

Turkey ran to the ballot box of solidarity and achieved a great democracy revolution. 13 million 844 thousand 70 votes were cast. Out of a total of 15 million 497 thousand 957 votes cast, greetings to Ekrem İmamoğlu, who is currently watching you from the television that came to his room!

Mayor Ekrem, do you see? This square is greeting you, it is greeting the next President of the Republic of Turkey.

Mayor Ekrem is also greeting Saraçhane and Turkey. There is another note from Silivri: 'I, the elected Hatay deputy Can Atalay, say... Just as we resisted shoulder to shoulder in Gezi, we are resisting today as well. Mayor Ekrem was our guest here, don't worry at all, we will take good care of him and we will get out together.'

Tomorrow I will be by Mayor Ekrem's side, I will take your greetings to him.

"THE TURKEY ALLIANCE WILL DEFEAT THE ALLIANCE OF THE WICKED"

We talked about CHP's Tayfun Kahraman a moment ago, we read the letter from TIP's Can Atalay. We love all colors and the CHP did not win this election alone. The Turkey alliance won this election...

All the democrats of Turkey are the Turkey alliance, we swear that the Turkey alliance will defeat the alliance of the wicked.

Whoever Tayyip Erdoğan has unjustly put in prison, this square will be against it! Turkey is a whole, it is a brother, and it cannot be divided!

We want Ekrem İmamoğlu's trial to be broadcast live on TRT 1. Hey Erdoğan and his apparatus Akın Gürlek! Hey those who take orders from Akın Gürlek, those who give orders, if you have the courage, broadcast that file full of lies on live television so Ekrem İmamoğlu can slap the facts on your foreheads.

Mr. Tayyip, my mayor is ready to make your questions live on television, to make the prosecutor's lies in court a living nightmare, to slap your slanders on your forehead; is your prosecutor ready to face us?

I propose that Ekrem İmamoğlu's trial be broadcast live...

Let the entire court process be broadcast live, and let Mayor Ekrem expose the thieves and the theft.

We are the guarantor of dressing freely, of all colors, of the headscarf, of freedom, of brotherhood, we are the guarantor of worshipping freely.

"THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A PICTURE OF ERDOĞAN'S TRUSTEE IN THIS BUILDING"

Our deputies will act as a buffer against illegal orders given to the police or attacks on demonstrators.

Tomorrow is the 7th day, hundreds of thousands of us came here, now tomorrow evening, the next day is very important. If a handful of people had come when I came here on the first day, there would have been a picture of Tayyip Erdoğan's trustee in this building.

For this, on Wednesday, a CHP municipal council member will be elected here until Mayor Ekrem regains his freedom and sits in his office, and we will have gotten rid of the trustee plague.

Are you ready to come to this square tomorrow evening no matter what, to start a great uprising and a democracy revolution, and to fill this square?

Are we coming to tear down the reign of the greedy? This evening, we are dispersing safely without clashing with our police. When trees were being cut in Taksim, Gezi needed us and we were there; today we are needed in Saraçhane and we are here.

The day will come when we will take back Taksim all together, see you in Saraçhane tomorrow evening, wait for us Istanbul!

ÖZGÜR ÖZEL ANNOUNCED THE BOYCOTT LIST

Tomorrow everyone is drinking their coffee, but they are not passing in front of Espressolab...

When you want to buy a book, you sometimes go to D&R, from now on you will not go.

İdefix is also gone...

There is a Demirören Mall in İstiklal, you pass from the opposite sidewalk...

There is something called Kilim Furniture, it earns money from you and gives the news to the Palace. From now on, whoever steps on that Kilim, let them take care of it. Do not bring Kilim Furniture into your home...

Young people say Ülker, Ülker, Ülker, this is also the demand of the youth. If gasoline or diesel is to be bought, there is no such thing as Türk Petrol anymore!

If gas and cylinders are to be bought, all of them can be bought, there is no good for any of us from Likitgaz or Milangaz.

Do not watch TRT, do not warm yourselves with İhlas home appliances from TGRT.

I mentioned CNN, Demirören, we talked about İhlas home appliances...

There is a television channel next to CNN, the other one, next to it, they sell very popular restaurants and very well-known cars, that one wasn't bad, I am giving it a deadline until tomorrow's live broadcasts. If it corrects it tomorrow, it corrects it...

I am telling those who are curious, stay away from Misli and iddia.com from the National Lottery, which are worse than the illegal ones...

I am telling you the big secret we have in our bag. You know the Kartalkaya hotel that burned babies as small as a hand in Kartalkaya! There is a Minister of Tourism who did not carry out inspections while that hotel was burning, who slandered without shame or embarrassment, and who has still not been removed from office...

Beware of ETS for bus tickets, plane tickets, and hotels. There is no peace for us until we bury ETS into the ground...

The employees of the companies I listed have nothing to do with these matters, resistance will be shown, but these employees will not be harmed.

TRT is showing hostility, Anadolu Agency is showing hostility, but their laborers are all our brothers...

Dear friends, we are all going to our homes to come here safely tomorrow.

Follow where they are from a site called Boykotyap.com...
