CHP's Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer was detained as part of a terrorism investigation, and this development caused a wide reaction in the public.

HE SHOWED STRONG REACTION TO ÖZGÜR ÖZEL

Speaking at the AK Party group meeting, President Erdoğan also targeted CHP Chairman Özgür Özel over Özer's detention.

ERDOĞAN: WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM THE STEPS WE HAVE TAKEN

Responding to Özel's statement, "We see the ugly game, the great conspiracy. We will neither be a part of it nor surrender," President Erdoğan said, "Where there is lawlessness, there is no justice. Where there is lawlessness, there is no fair administration. You must learn these as well.

While our geography has turned into a ring of fire, and the terrorist organization is wreaking havoc in Esenyurt, you will not be disturbed by this! Just because you are disturbed, we will not back down from the steps we have taken. Our main interlocutor is none other than our Kurdish brothers themselves. Mr. Özel, my Kurdish brother can now see the game staged through the terrorist organization," he stated.

WHAT DID ÖZGÜR ÖZEL SAY?

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, following the detention of Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer, stated, "Our Esenyurt Mayor Prof. Dr. Ahmet Özer was detained in an operation carried out early this morning. I am closely following the process. He is a scientist, opinion leader, and politician who has held senior positions in the public sector and academia for years, received a clean certificate from the relevant authorities just 6 months ago when he was a candidate, and came to office with the great favor of the voters of Esenyurt in the elections he participated in. The treatment he is receiving is unjust, and the allegations are baseless. What is happening is not independent of the events of the last few weeks. We see the ugly game, the great conspiracy. We will neither be a part of it nor surrender," he explained.
