Özgür Özel: Why don't you raise hell for me? For example, I will raise the hell you are talking about tomorrow.

Deniz Zeyrek: Go ahead, hold a rally with 5-10 thousand people.

Özgür Özel: Of course, would you attend that rally?

Deniz Zeyrek: Well, I would come as a journalist.

Özgür Özel: Now look, the easiest thing here is that you are not asking the microbe why it causes disease, but you are asking about the effectiveness of the antibiotic!

Deniz Zeyrek: Then let me be the CHP Chairman, and I will do it.

Özgür Özel: One needs to look at these matters more fairly, rather than from the comfort of attacking the opposition.

Deniz Zeyrek: I can complain as a citizen, but the public expects solutions from politics. Politics does not complain, it finds solutions.
