Beykoz Deputy Mayor Özlem Vural Gürzel announced that she has resigned from the CHP. In her statement, Gürzel claimed that she had been subjected to threats and stated, "I would also like it to be known that I have been supported and valued only by the Justice and Development Party and Nationalist Movement Party council members, and most importantly, by the people of Beykoz."

SHARP RESPONSE FROM KÖSELER

Beykoz Mayor Alaattin Köseler, who has been suspended from his post, responded to Gürzel's remarks in a post on his social media account.

Köseler used the following expressions in his message:

"A person from Beykoz never betrays another from Beykoz. Our bond is strong. Our stance is a matter of morality, after all. I hope no one stoops to using the filth of those who set up this conspiracy..."

Beykozlu, Beykozluyu asla satmaz. Bağımız güçlüdür. Duruşumuz ise bir ahlak meselesidir çünkü. Kumpası kuranların kirliliğini kullanmaya umarım kimse tenezzül etmez… pic.twitter.com/cRjulzfTqm
