"SPECIAL REPORTS ARE KEPT IN THE PARTY'S ARCHIVE"

Why are you giving a plot of land worth millions to Cengiz İnşaat at low prices? As the Chairman of the party, when I speak of the five-member gangs, you, as the Mayor of Karşıyaka, are serving the five-member gangs. This is unacceptable. Now, whom will the Metropolitan Municipality Mayor serve? He will serve the AK Party. This is unacceptable."
