Dervişoğlu's 'It is no one's place' outburst at Özgür Özel: The 'Izmir' crisis between IYI Party and CHP

IYI Party leader Dervişoğlu explained the reason for not attending the opening of the Izmir International Fair. Pointing out that the fair program had been sent to them 3 months ago but the date was changed at the last minute, Dervişoğlu said, "It was moved to August 30 due to Özgür Özel’s private schedule.

Trying to turn the Izmir Fair into a carnival is no one's right and no one's place. Izmir is not anyone's private property. No one can make decisions that do not befit Izmir," he said.

Arriving at the IYI Party Izmir Provincial Headquarters, Dervişoğlu met with the party organization there. During the visit, Dervişoğlu was accompanied by IYI Party Izmir Provincial Chair Ülkü Doğan and IYI Party Izmir MPs Ümit Özlale and Hüsmen Kırkpınar.

Dervişoğlu made statements regarding the agenda after the organization meeting.

In his speech, Dervişoğlu also explained the reason for not attending the opening of the Izmir International Fair and lashed out at CHP Chairman Özgür Özel.

USED THE TERM 'LACK OF SERIOUSNESS'

Stating that this was a "crisis that occurred before the Izmir fair and does not befit Izmir," Dervişoğlu underlined that this fair is not an ordinary fair. Emphasizing that it is an organization considered important by many countries, Dervişoğlu said, "The program for this fair was sent to us about 3 months ago.

It was stated that the ceremony would take place on August 31. With a notification we received yesterday, it is stated that the fair opening will take place on August 30.

They also emphasized in their political speeches that it would be held on August 30. There cannot be such a lack of seriousness," he said.

'IT IS NO ONE'S PLACE'

Dervişoğlu continued his speech as follows:

"A program whose date was set 3 months ago cannot be changed at the last minute according to the wishes of some people. We evaluate this as a lack of seriousness.

I planned my entire schedule assuming the opening would be on August 31. However, it was moved to August 30 due to Özgür Özel’s private schedule. Trying to turn the Izmir Fair into a carnival is no one's right and no one's place.

Furthermore, it is not possible for me to attend a fair opening whose calendar has been changed as the Chairman of the IYI Party. Izmir is not anyone's private property. No one can make decisions that do not befit Izmir."
