A statement regarding the detention of Ahmet Özer also came from the DEM Party.

The Mayor of Esenyurt, Ahmet Özer, was taken into custody at his home this morning as part of a terrorism investigation.

THERE IS A STATEMENT FROM THE DEM PARTY

While the development has caused a significant public reaction, a statement also came from the DEM Party following the CHP regarding Özer, who was elected with a consensus in the local elections on March 31.

"ÖZER'S ARREST IS NOT A COINCIDENCE"

Party Spokesperson Ayşegül Doğan stated, "The arrest of Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer, who was elected with a consensus, is not a coincidence. To evaluate the recent developments 'without prejudice', these methods must be abandoned. The message intended by targeting Ahmet Özer, who was elected by the will of the people, is clear. It is evident that those who are disturbed by the inclusive municipal understanding of the Mayor of Esenyurt and his efforts towards Kurdish identity and culture are once again at work.

"HE MUST BE IMMEDIATELY RELEASED"

This attack on the Esenyurt Municipality must be stopped, and Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer must be released. No one should remain a bystander to this usurpation of will," she added.
