İYİ Party Spokesperson and Ankara Deputy Kürşad Zorlu also resigned from his party in recent weeks. Announcing his resignation, Zorlu joined the AKP.
ERDOĞAN ATTACHED HIS PIN
Zorlu's pin was attached by AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan following his speech at the AKP Ankara 8th Ordinary Provincial Congress.
Making a brief greeting speech after his pin was attached, Zorlu stated the following: "Today, our country is undoubtedly facing multiple threats, historical tests, and geographical threats. As we step into the second century of our republic with the understanding that 'If the subject is the homeland, the rest is detail,' as Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, I am joining you with this belief on the path of serving our country under the leadership of our president at this historical turning point. Mr. President, dear residents of Ankara, I promise that we will work harder with determination on this sacred journey, without sitting during the day and without sleeping at night. I thank our president for offering me this courage and this opportunity."
HIS PREVIOUS WORDS ARE ON THE AGENDA
It has emerged that Zorlu, who was one of the protégés of former Chairman Meral Akşener, had criticized the AKP government with harsh words in the past.
Saying, "The government is plundering our underground and above-ground resources," Zorlu had also made a statement regarding the Presidential Government System, saying, "It is a lack of principle that is not even included in the freak system they brought. We will also object to the President's candidacy."
HE HAD ALSO CRITICIZED THE İMRALI CALL HARSHLY
Regarding Bahçeli's call for İmralı, Zorlu had also made the statement: "The state does not make deals with a terrorist organization or a terrorist, and does not sit at the table. The destination reached through ways that will not be accepted by the conscience of the Turkish nation will be more division and more disappointment."
