The leader of the CHP, Özgür Özel, stirred the audience at his first group meeting after the punch attack he experienced. Özel stated, "We will have a response to the attack. Tomorrow evening we will be in Beyazıt Square. On Saturday, we will be in Van. On May 19, we will be in İzmir. This is our response. I am addressing the one who sends the hand of that child killer bare. If you have the courage, fill it and send it, I dare you."
CHP Chairman Özgür Özel was attacked with punches while leaving the Atatürk Cultural Center for the memorial ceremony of the Istanbul MP and Deputy Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Sırrı Süreyya Önder.
"WE WILL HAVE A RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK"
While the attacker Selçuk Tengioğlu was arrested by the court he was brought to, Özel attended the first group meeting after the attack. Using striking expressions regarding the attack, Özel said, "We will have a response to the attack. We will be in Beyazıt Square tomorrow evening. We will be in Van on Saturday. We will be in İzmir on May 19. This is our response, have you read the response? Get out of here!"
"THEY SENT A WARNING, I AM WHERE I SAID ON THE FIRST DAY"
In his speech, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel stated; "The attack is an open letter written to us, to me, to you, to all of us. They sent a warning, I am where I said on the first day. I do not hold any political party or organization directly responsible for this. I will never say 'this did it, that made it happen.' It is the prosecutor's, the police's, and the state's duty to investigate who did it."
"I AM TELLING THOSE WHO SEND THE HAND OF THE CHILD KILLER NAKED..."
We will have a response to the attack. We will be in Beyazıt Square tomorrow evening. We will be in Van on Saturday. We will be in İzmir on May 19. This is our response, have you read the response? Get out of here! I am telling those who send the hand of the child killer naked. If you have the courage, fill it and send it, bring it on!"
