Beşiktaş Mayor Rıza Akpolat, who is in custody, shared a message via his social media account.
Sharing a video previously prepared regarding municipal works, Akpolat added the note, "It is not over, our struggle will continue."
The following words are included in Akpolat's statements in the video in question:
"Beşiktaş means equality. Beşiktaş means freedom. Beşiktaş means liberty. Beşiktaş means democracy. Beşiktaş means the Republic. Beşiktaş means the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk!
The first great revolution in these lands was the enlightenment revolution carried out by the Anatolian Sages in the 12th century. The second great revolution was carried out by the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk by declaring the Republic. He said, 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation.' Crowning the Republic with democracy is our most important duty. Our most important responsibility. We will continue to wage this struggle until the end."
