Former AK Party deputy Hüseyin Kocabıyık, who was arrested due to his posts targeting President Erdoğan, had previously described insulting the President as "a sign of a disturbed mind" and "an insult to the nation." For this reason, there have been comments in the public sphere suggesting that Kocabıyık is being judged by "the standards he set himself."
The former AK Party deputy Hüseyin Kocabıyık's social media posts targeting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have led to an investigation. Hüseyin Kocabıyık, who was taken into custody by police teams, was arrested by the court on charges of 'insulting the President in a repeated manner.'
ONE OF ERDOĞAN'S STRONGEST SUPPORTERS
Kocabıyık's harsh criticisms aimed at President Erdoğan in 2015 have come back to the agenda. At that time, reacting to a program on Halk TV, Kocabıyık had stated on his social media account, "Four perverts on the channel called Halk TV are insulting the President of the Republic of Turkey."
"INSULTING OUR PRESIDENT..."
In response to the reactions, Kocabıyık stated, "Insulting our President is insulting the Turkish nation. Insulting our President is a sign of a corrupted bloodline. Insulting our President is blasphemy against our history."
BEING JUDGED BY HIS OWN STANDARDS
After the years that have passed, the arrest of Hüseyin Kocabıyık today due to his statements against the President has led to comments in the public that he is "being judged by his own standards."
EXPELLED FROM THE AK PARTY
The former deputy was expelled from the AK Party in April after criticizing the investigation process regarding Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was suspended from duty and arrested.
