Statement on Ahmet Özer from CHP's Seyit Torun: 'The rise in CHP's poll numbers has disturbed the AKP and Erdoğan'

Beste ÇELİK-12punto.com.tr /EXCLUSIVE

Speaking to 12punto at the CHP's TBMM Group Work and Evaluation Meeting, CHP deputies reacted sharply to the trustee decision.

CHP Ordu MP Seyit Torun stated that the decision was a planned operation against the CHP, noting that the entire process was irregular from start to finish.

'IT IS AN OPERATION CONDUCTED AGAINST THE CHP'

CHP's Torun said the following:

"We are facing FETÖ tactics that we are accustomed to from the past. Our Esenyurt Mayor, Ahmet Özer, was arrested unlawfully and unjustly. This is entirely an operation conducted against the CHP. The rising trend, the fact that our poll numbers are constantly increasing in the public eye, must have disturbed the AKP and Erdoğan, as we are once again facing a setup.

We have experienced this in the past as well, but let them know that we will never, ever bow down to such setups. Furthermore, the fact that a district governor was hastily appointed as a deputy governor and then as the acting mayor is a sign of how much preparation went into this.

Erdoğan had already touched upon this issue in his group speech. This means it is a prepared and planned organization.

'IT IS A CLEAR EXPRESSION OF A SETUP'

A book is being mentioned, and praise for a terrorist organization is being mentioned. This book has gone through 3 editions. For it to have a banderole, it must also pass the approval of prosecutors. There is a procedure for this. If there was such a crime, why did you allow it to be published again?

It is a process involving irregularities from start to finish. Entering his bedroom at his home in the morning—the Mayor is already at the municipality at 8:00-8:30. Subjecting a person who would go if summoned to such treatment and trying to discredit him is unjust and unlawful. It is a clear expression of a setup."
