The Mayor of Esenyurt, Ahmet Özer, was detained by the Istanbul Police Department's Counter-Terrorism Unit teams early yesterday morning and brought to the courthouse. After his statement to the prosecutor's office, Özer was referred to the court with a request for arrest on the charge of 'being a member of a terrorist organization.' He was later arrested by the court on the charge of "being a member of the PKK/KCK armed terrorist organization." "WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE TAPES"While the repercussions of the incident continue, a striking post came from Ümit Özdağ, the Chairman of the Victory Party. In a post on his social media account X, Özdağ stated, "I cannot understand why those who seem surprised about the detention of Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer are surprised. Even the children on the street know that Ahmet Özer is affiliated with DEM and that DEM belongs to the hawkish wing. Now, as a friendly advice, wait until you see the contents of the file, the tapes." WARNED BEFORE MARCH 31Özdağ had also stated regarding Ahmet Özer before the local elections held on March 31, 2024, "The CHP's mayoral candidate for Esenyurt, Ahmet Özer, is a person who aims to destroy our Republic, founded by Atatürk, in line with the ideas of the terrorist Öcalan. Every vote given to Ahmet Özer will hurt the spirit of Atatürk. Having Ahmet Özer as mayor will bring Kandil to Esenyurt."
