After Gürsel Tekin was appointed as a trustee by court order, it was claimed that the CHP (Republican People's Party) had an interesting plan following the protests, which included the decision to move the provincial headquarters to Bahçelievler. It was suggested that the CHP planned to change the address of its provincial headquarters every day. The party's social media post stating, "Istanbul has 39 districts" also strengthened this claim.

CHP Headquarters made a surprising decision after Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as the trustee of the Istanbul Provincial Presidency by the court, entered the Provincial Presidency building amid protests.
CHP DECIDED TO CLOSE THE ISTANBUL PROVINCIAL HEADQUARTERS The party administration decided to close the Istanbul Provincial Presidency building. It was noted that an extraordinary provincial congress would be held as part of the application made to the Sarıyer District Election Board, and until a new provincial president and administration are elected, the provincial presidency will continue its activities at a different address.
NEW ADDRESS HAS BEEN REVEALED The party stated that it informed the Istanbul Governorship and the Court of Cassation about the new address of the provincial presidency as the address of the Bahçelievler District Presidency. On the other hand, it was learned that the building that was decided to be closed would be used as an office by the General Chairman Özgür Özel.
CLAIM THAT 'THE ADDRESS IS PLANNED TO BE CHANGED EVERY DAY' Moreover, it was claimed that CHP has another interesting plan. It was alleged that CHP plans to change the address of the provincial presidency every day. The post made from the party's social media account stating, "Istanbul has 39 districts" also strengthened this claim.
WHAT HAPPENED? With the interim decision taken by the Istanbul 45th Civil Court on September 2, Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed to use the powers of the CHP Istanbul Provincial President and the Board of Directors as a precautionary measure, stated yesterday that he would go to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency building today. Following this announcement, police teams took security measures at the CHP's Provincial Presidency building in Sarıyer during the night. Many CHP members who went to the party building also spent the night there. While the wait of the party members in front of the building and the police teams' security measures continued, tensions occasionally arose between the police and the CHP members.
"WE ARE NOT TRUSTEES" In the morning, Gürsel Tekin, who came to the front of the party building, made a statement to the press before entering the building. In his statement, Tekin said, "Today, my friends and I in the delegation are not a part of any of the problems that have occurred so far. In fact, I go further. When the congress was held that day, I warned my friends who were saying harsh words to each other as a non-delegate Gürsel Tekin. I said, 'Don't do it. You will see each other face to face tomorrow.' Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the problem between the parties, which has been ongoing for a year and a half, fell into the corridors of the court. The court made a decision. The complainants are CHP members, the parties are CHP members, and our friends who proposed us are also members of the Republican People's Party. We are not trustees. Trustees are in Esenyurt, trustees are in Şişli. From the very first day, my friends and I established all possible contacts. What is our duty? Our duty is to eliminate the injustice that both the delegates and our current provincial president and provincial administrators have suffered as soon as possible. But how strange it is. Despite our silence for 6 days, we only said that we should go hand in hand to our ancestral home. Let's solve all these problems," he said.
"LET THEM SHOOT BULLETS IF THEY WANT" Meanwhile, Gürsel Tekin, who was hit by a water bottle, said, "It's no problem at all. Let them shoot bullets if they want. Nothing can stop us. They shouldn't worry at all. They are not party members, brother. There is no reaction from the members of the Republican People's Party towards me. I know who they are. They shouldn't worry at all," he said.
"NONE OF THOSE WHO ARE SHOUTING ARE CHP MEMBERS" Continuing his words, Tekin said, "I can tell you this. I swear on my honor, not a single one of those who are shouting is a CHP member. Look, not a single one is a CHP member. I swear this intensity is not caused by us. That's why for the past 7-8 days, we said, 'Come on, brother.' We said from the very beginning. 'When going to the ancestral home, let's be calm. Let's stand side by side. Let's hold hands. Let's solve the problems and difficulties together.' We are on the same point. We continue at that point."
SCUFFLE AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE BUILDING After his statements, Gürsel Tekin was kept in a black minibus around the CHP Istanbul Provincial Building. After a while, Tekin, who got out of his vehicle, experienced a scuffle while trying to enter the building. While protests continued, Tekin and his delegation entered the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency building.
"WE WILL MAKE FRIENDS AND ENEMIES ANGRY" As soon as he entered the building, Gürsel Tekin went to the press room, and while sitting in the chair, he examined Bülent Ecevit's book. Later, in a brief statement, Tekin said, "We know how political the court decisions are, but this is an internal party issue. It was a decision made during the judicial process. We also want to solve this problem. That's all. There is no iron fist against us. We are just working to save our party. We will not fight; we will make friends and enemies angry."
"LEGALLY ASSIGNED TO US" In the evening, during a live broadcast program, Tekin stated that the Istanbul Provincial Presidency building could not be moved and that it was legally assigned to them.

"I WILL WELCOME ÖZEL" Tekin, who also stated that he wants to meet with CHP leader Özgür Özel and former Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, said, "I will visit Ankara next week. I want to visit Kılıçdaroğlu and Özel. Of course, he is our chairman. Can the Chairman not be welcomed? I will welcome Özel. Tomorrow I will welcome Özgür Özel."
