Deputy Chairman of the İYİ Party, Dr. Cenk Özatıcı, answered questions from the moderators of the program published on Haberler.com, Editor-in-Chief Av. Bedia Teymur and presenter Melis Yaşar. Özatıcı, who drew attention to the increasing transfers of deputies recently, made striking statements. "THE AKP IS PURSUING A STRATEGY OF RECRUITING DEPUTIES FROM THE İYİ PARTY"Evaluating the process that started with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's call for terrorist organization PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan to speak in the Parliament and continued with the DEM Party delegation visiting Öcalan after meeting him on İmralı Island, Özatıcı stated the following: "According to our calculations, they need to reach 400. If the Cumhur Alliance and DEM merge, it makes 377 in the Parliament. They can also recruit some deputies from the Future Party, DEVA, and the Felicity Party. When we make a new calculation with this, they come up to around 395. Therefore, right now, the AKP is pursuing a strategy of recruiting deputies from the İYİ Party, resisting this constitutional process and this opening process alone, in the Parliament and in the squares." "THOSE WHO SWITCH FROM OUR PARTY TO THE AKP ARE A COMPLEMENTARY PART OF THE İMRALI PROCESS"Özatıcı, stating "Let our nation know. We are exposing," said, "Therefore, whoever has resigned from our party and has gone to the AKP, or will go, let our nation know that they are a complementary part of the İmralı and opening process and the new constitutional process they want to secure afterwards. They have gone to complete that." SUCCESSIVE RESIGNATIONSLeaf fall continues in the İYİ Party. As high-level figures in the party leave one after another, the latest to resign were İYİ Party Founding Board Member and 27th Term Istanbul Deputy Ümit Beyaz, and İYİ Party Ankara Deputy and former party spokesperson Kürşad Zorlu. In the political agenda, there have been claims that deputies will switch to the AK Party.
