Reactions from political figures are pouring in following the detention of Ümit Özdağ in Ankara. ABB Mayor Yavaş also reacted to Ümit Özdağ's detention with the following words:
"The detention of Zafer Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ is a source of deep concern in terms of freedom of expression and democratic values.
What is this rush? You are carrying out a detention process in such a hurry. Let the process take its own course.
The fact that such practices are becoming constant undermines trust in the judiciary.
Politics is for speaking and criticizing. All practices that strengthen the perception that the judiciary is a tool of politics must be abandoned."
