President Erdoğan, commenting on the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu following a corruption investigation, stated, "They are the ones who wrote the game, they are the ones who established the Escobar order in Istanbul, they are the ones who filed the complaints, and they are the ones who line up at the prosecutors' door to make reports. But once again, they rise to the top like olive oil. We are not the least bit interested in your internal reckoning, so excuse us."
President Erdoğan, who made evaluations on the current issues in the party group, made striking statements regarding the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu following the corruption investigation.
"THEY ESTABLISHED A ESCOBAR ORDER IN ISTANBUL"
Erdoğan stated, "Our nation did not give in to the boycott calls of incompetent and selfish individuals who are trying to conceal their corruption from the public eye," and added, "The boycotters were the ones who faced a boycott from our citizens. They are the ones who wrote the game, they are the ones who established an Escobar order in Istanbul, they are the ones who filed complaints, and they are the ones who lined up at the prosecutors' doors to report. But just like olive oil, they are the ones who always come out on top. We are not the least bit interested in your internal reckoning. Whatever has happened to you has come because of your obsession with titles. You did it to yourselves. You are the ones who set the streets on fire to cover up the issues within yourselves. If those young people's lives have been darkened, it is again you, as the CHP, who have darkened those lives. You are the ones who hide in the municipal building while putting the youth in front."
