GÜRSEL TEKİN: WE HAVE STARTED OUR DUTY
Gürsel Tekin, appointed as the trustee of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency, stated in a video message released today, standing alongside his team, "We have started our duty. I am a person who has served in various levels of the CHP for a long time and has also served as the provincial chairman in Istanbul for 3.5 years. In this committee, we have started our duty with 4 very experienced friends from the Republican People's Party, who will work to resolve the crisis in a democratic manner in the coming days. We are all members of the Republican People's Party."
"CHP SHOULD NOT HAVE FALLEN INTO THE COURT CORRIDORS"
Some negative situations have arisen outside of all of us. The CHP is a party established in the battlefields, and it should not have fallen into the court corridors. Our primary duty is to get out of these court corridors as soon as possible and to embrace all CHP members in the spirit of brotherhood and fight. We will fight for rights, law, and justice. Trust us, we will do what the principles, rules, and traditions of the Republican People's Party require. Beyond that, no one should expect anything from us. Because we are members of the Republican People's Party," he stated.
