CHP leader Özgür Özel had shown his reaction to the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, when he couldn't speak at the funeral of Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli soldiers. Yılmaz Eygi, the uncle of Ayşenur Ezgi, who spoke about the debate, said, "Mr. Özgür was very supportive. The state also provided great support. We would have known if Mr. Özgür had spoken as well. We would have known that he also embraced it." "BROTHER, ARE YOU GOING TO SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM ME?"Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was shot in the head and killed by Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank, was laid to rest in Didim district of Aydın in recent days. The debate between CHP Chairman Özgür Özel and Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey Numan Kurtulmuş overshadowed the funeral ceremony. Özel, who was upset because he couldn't speak at the ceremony, showed his reaction to Kurtulmuş. Özel said, "Two words spoken by us have great value in many places. It was not right to say 'I am neutral' and act like this." Kurtulmuş responded, "Brother, are you going to say something different from me?" AYŞENUR EZGİ'S UNCLE SPEAKSStatements also came from Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi's family regarding what happened at the funeral. Yılmaz Eygi, the uncle, who spoke to Pınar Saraçoğlu from Odatv, said the following: "People we didn't know took ownership of the funeral. This made us very happy and honored. There were individual people who came from Istanbul with money from their own pockets. There were groups of 3-4 people who came just to bid farewell to Ayşenur. There were those who brought Palestinian flags. Our house was overflowing. An incredible crowd formed. Her parents were extremely sad. "I WISH MR. ÖZGÜR HAD SPOKEN"While Özgür Özel and Numan Kurtulmuş were speaking, I was right next to Mr. Özgür. But there was such a crowd that I couldn't talk to him after Kurtulmuş spoke. Mr. Özgür was very supportive. The state also provided great support. The Governor was here. They were very helpful. Our municipality was very helpful and continues to be. Both the ruling party and the opposition embraced our child. This was the scene we have longed for. I wish Mr. Özgür had spoken as well. We would have known that he also embraced it.
