Striking Imralı and CHP-AKP questioning from Tanju Özcan: Going to the terrorist is not being debated

While a commission is continuing its preparations to visit Imralı shortly after MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's statement during his group meeting, "Are you allowing me to go to Imralı?", the CHP's announcement that it would not go to Imralı has drawn attention.

While the People's Alliance, which criticized the CHP for supporting a terrorist organization before the elections, is counting the days to go and meet with PKK terrorist organization leader Öcalan, the CHP's decision not to go has become the top item on the country's agenda.

While the CHP is being accused of supporting terrorism this time for not going to Imralı, a striking question came from CHP Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan.

Pointing out that the Imralı debates are being centered on the CHP's decision, Özcan asked the question, "Why is the AKP's act of going to the terrorist not being debated?"

Here is that post by Özcan:

"Why is everyone debating the CHP's refusal to go to the terrorist, but not debating the AKP's act of going to the terrorist?"

Niye herkes CHP’nin teröristin ayağına gitmeyi reddetmesini tartışıyor da, AKP’nin teröristin ayağına gitmesini tartışmıyor?
