Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan stated on his social media account regarding the commission to be established in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), which is also supported by the CHP, "The AK Party, DEM, and MHP alliance should not be a part of the game orchestrated by them."

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel reacted to Özcan's statement. Emphasizing that the tweet does not reflect the party's institutional stance, Özel said, "Tanju has crossed his limits, it is not right. He can share his suggestions regarding the party's management with me, but with this tweet about a commission to be established in the Parliament, he has crossed his boundaries."

"IF THE GODS WANT SACRIFICES, DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN A DIFFICULT POSITION"

Özcan responded to Özel's outburst with a statement on his social media account. In his message, Özcan noted:

"As one of the first to tell him that he would one day be the Chairman, and as a party member who has been successful until the final decision, I have been the head of the CHP's youth branches since the age of 22, served in district and provincial chairmanships, as a municipal council member, and as a member of parliament, and currently continuing my second term as Mayor in Bolu, where we are the 3rd party in the general elections, I was both surprised and very saddened to hear the words 'he has crossed his limits' regarding my suggestion of 'let's not sit at the same table with the partners of evil'! But I still want to trust your goodwill, not the decision you made. I hope I am wrong, and you are right! On the other hand, if the gods want sacrifices, do not put yourself in a difficult position."
