WHAT HAPPENED?

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel announced today that a CHP district mayor was called to the Presidential Complex by President Erdoğan, expressing that he was invited to the AK Party.

Özel stated that the mayor informed him when he was called and after the meeting, saying, "I couldn't believe my eyes. 'I have a congress in February, will you join us?' How can the head of state, a party's own child, ask a mayor, 'Will you join me at my congress? I will open the way for you, I will do this, I will do that...' And then, in parentheses, 'I know you are a clean man, that's why I am calling you, but they might tarnish your reputation, God forbid,' and making threats like that. And then picking them up in a civilian car and taking them to the palace. Does that suit anyone? The one doing that there is making this happen here. Here is the picture of exhaustion, Tayyip Erdoğan," he had stated.
