“For years, I have been screaming at the top of my lungs that ‘You will drag Turkey into a catastrophe.’ Right now, you have dragged not just Turkey, but the world into a catastrophe.
It is the 3rd largest gold mine in the world. The world’s greatest disaster is taking place at the Çöpler Gold Mine. Billions of tons, 39 types of deadly chemical substances have exploded. A collapse occurred underneath.
Construction machinery and trucks were left underneath. There are dead. The İliç Prosecutor who closed my file last year, you acquitted Ahmet Çalık. Now go pay the price.
The Erzincan Court that closed my files, go pay the price. Binali Yıldırım, you had made a statement about me. This disaster is happening right now. It is not just Turkey’s, but the world’s greatest disaster that has occurred.”
