İYİ Party Organization Chairman Hasan Toktaş made a scandalous post in the WhatsApp group created for the party's provincial chairpersons. It has emerged that Toktaş sent a photo of CHP Osmaniye Deputy Asu Kaya to the group, using the expression, "I will get this for you, king."
STATEMENT FROM TOKTAŞ AFTER THE SCANDAL MESSAGE
Following the reactions, a statement came from İYİ Party's Toktaş. In a statement he made on his social media account, Toktaş said that the message was fabricated. In his statement, he used the following expressions: "I am sadly watching a nasty plot targeting me, with lies and slanders spreading in social media and some press outlets.
"THE MESSAGE IS FABRICATED, THE EXPRESSIONS DO NOT BELONG TO ME"
The ugliness constructed through the photo of CHP Osmaniye Deputy Mr. Asu Kaya in a post allegedly made by me in a WhatsApp group is one of the most concrete examples of the dirty tricks in politics.
I state that; that message produced by dark hands is fabricated and the expressions do not belong to me. I believe that no slander can ever stick to someone whose intentions are always good. Throughout my life, I have regarded the honor of our women as a crown on my head. Therefore, being associated with such an accusation not only hurts me but also the common conscience. Such character assassinations have also been directed at other politicians belonging to opposition parties. I know that this will neither be the first nor the last.
"I REQUESTED A TECHNICAL EXAMINATION"
The aim of those who prepared this slander is to dirty politics, defame me, and put my party in a difficult position in public. I would like to inform our nation that; traces of digital forgery have been found in the preliminary assessments made regarding the relevant photo. Therefore, I have requested a more detailed technical examination and I will follow the process legally to the end. I would also like to emphasize my sadness about the fact that the name of our deputy, Mr. Asu Kaya, has been involved in a plot against me.
Slanderers can be sure of one thing; I will not leave this matter here. I will not allow anyone to engage in politics with insults, fabrications, and lies, or to attempt character assassination. The truth will come out, and the law will give the necessary response."
DERVİŞOĞLU: WE HAVE INITIATED AN INVESTIGATION
On the other hand, İYİ Party Chairman Müsavat Dervişoğlu stated in his announcement that they have initiated an investigation. Dervişoğlu said: "Today, a WhatsApp message allegedly belonging to our Organization Chairman Mr. Hasan Toktaş has been shared and reported in social media and the press. The statement made by Mr. Hasan Toktaş regarding the message, which also involves the name of our valuable Deputy, Mr. Asu Kaya, is valid in my opinion. However, as a necessity of both the subject and our sensitivity regarding these matters, I have assigned our Secretary General Mr. Uğur Poyraz and our Head of Legal-Election and Parliamentary Relations Mr. Hakan Şeref Olgun to follow the legal process, conduct an investigation, and research.
"I WILL CARRY OUT THE DUTIES OF THE ORGANIZATION CHAIRMAN"
As a sign of our sensitivity regarding this matter, until our relevant friends and the committees of our party complete the necessary work, I will personally carry out the duties of the İYİ Party Organization Chairmanship as the General Chairman. I present this to the knowledge of our esteemed nation."
