Kılıçdaroğlu had dinner with Mansur Yavaş: No meeting with İmamoğlu, it's all a lie.

Former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş met at the ABB facility in Sıhhiye.

Yavaş, who arrived at the facility an hour before Kılıçdaroğlu, greeted Kılıçdaroğlu at the door. Kılıçdaroğlu, who made a statement before the meeting, said, "Mr. Mayor said 'let's have a meal'. He is not someone we just met. He has been the mayor of ABB for many years. Of course, we will sit down, have a meal, and talk. Turkey has as many problems as the world. The region has as many problems as the world. We will sit down and talk."

WILL HE MEET WITH İMAMOĞLU?

When asked by a journalist, "Will you meet with Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu?" Kılıçdaroğlu replied, "I don't know about that, my friends. If there is a request, of course, we will meet. They are our party members. They are not a foreigner or someone else. We will sit down and talk."

"THEY ARE ALL FALSE"

Kılıçdaroğlu also responded to the statement, "İmamoğlu said he made an appointment, and a meeting is expected tomorrow." by saying, "They are all false. There is no such thing. When such an event occurs, the Mayor calls and specifies the day he will come. We talk beforehand according to that. My schedule and his schedule have to be suitable. We will sit down and talk within that framework. We will also have our meal. We celebrated the holiday together."

"WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIAL AGENDA"

Yavaş, who stated that they haven't met with Kılıçdaroğlu for a long time, said, "We don't have a special agenda, we just haven't met with our esteemed chairman for a long time. I called him during the holiday. I told him that we couldn't meet. We had a meal here before. I said let me offer a meal in the same place, that's all."

FIRST COMMENT FROM ÖZGÜR ÖZEL

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel commented on the meeting between former Chairman Kılıçdaroğlu and Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Yavaş, saying, "Whoever communicates with whom in the CHP, especially if they sit down and have a meal and chat, it is beneficial for the party."

Özel, who stated that Yavaş informed him about the dinner and expressed his satisfaction, continued his words as follows: "I also followed Ekrem Bey's statement in the past few days. It will be a dinner in the coming days, weeks. This is very good. If meals are not being eaten, if former party leaders who have served as metropolitan mayors or held other positions are not having meals or having conversations, then it has news value. The fact that the meal has news value shows that we also need some normalization in these matters. I consider these valuable, important, and supported steps as a sign of normalization within the party."
