Özel shared photos from the home visit on his social media account and stated the following:
"I visited our esteemed artist Suavi at his home in Istanbul.
I condemn the attacks on Suavi's concerts and I do not find it right at all that his previously scheduled concerts were canceled due to so-called reactions.

As the Republican People's Party and as Republican People's Party municipalities, we once again announce to the entire public that we always stand by art and the artist.

We are interested in artists not for their political views, ethnic identities, or sects, but for their art, performances, and talents."
