Leaving the headquarters and starting a walk, Özgür Özel addressed the crowd waiting for him in front of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Speaking from the top of a bus, Özel targeted Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, saying, 'I, Özgür, who yesterday called you brother and today does not speak ill of you, clenched my teeth—clenched them—but enough is enough.
