The newly appointed Gürsel Tekin and his accompanying delegation entered the party headquarters, replacing the dismissed management of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency.

In a temporary board appointed to use the powers of the CHP Istanbul Provincial President and the Board of Directors as a precautionary measure by the Istanbul 45th Civil Court on September 2, Gürsel Tekin stated in a statement yesterday that he would go to the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters today. Following this announcement, police teams took security measures at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters in Sarıyer during the night. Many CHP members who went to the party headquarters also spent the night at the party. The wait of the party members in front of the building and the security measures of the police teams continue.

A brief tension occurred between the police and CHP members in front of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters, where the wait continues.

"WE ARE NOT A TRUSTEE"

Gürsel Tekin, who came to the front of the party headquarters, made a statement to the press before entering the building. In his statement, Tekin said, "Today, I and my friends in the delegation are not part of this problem that has occurred until now. In fact, I go further. When the congress was held that day, I warned my friends who were not delegates and were exchanging harsh words with each other. I said, 'Don't do it. You will see each other face to face tomorrow.' Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the problem between the parties, which has been ongoing for a year and a half, fell into the corridors of the court. The court made a decision. The complainants are CHP members, the parties are CHP members, and our friends who proposed us are also members of the Republican People's Party. We are not trustees. The trustees are in Esenyurt, the trustees are in Şişli. From the very first day, my friends and I established all possible contacts. What is our duty? Our duty now is to eliminate the injustice that both the delegates and our current provincial president and provincial administrators have suffered as soon as possible. But how strange it is. Despite not having raised our voices for 6 days, we only said let’s go hand in hand, arm in arm to our ancestral home. Let’s solve all these problems," he said.

"NONE OF THOSE SHOUTING ARE CHP MEMBERS"

Continuing his words, Tekin said, "I can tell you this. I swear on my honor, not one of those shouting is a CHP member. Look, not one is a CHP member. I swear, the reason for this intensity is not us. For this reason, for the past 7-8 days, we have said, 'Come on, brother.' We said from the very beginning. 'When going to the ancestral home, let’s be calm. Let’s stand side by side. Let’s hold hands. Let’s solve the problems and difficulties together.' We are on the same point. We continue at that point," he expressed.
