In the Aydın rally, CHP leader Özgür Özel, who said, "The AK Toroslar gang is also giving orders to the MHP," was met with harsh words from Bahçeli, who stated, "Özgür Özel's speech at the Aydın rally is, in a word, a manifesto of delusion, a sample of defeat and disappointment."

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel addressed President Erdoğan at a rally in Aydın, saying, "If you have the courage, let's renew the Aydın elections." Özel accused the government of being a "political pickpocket and thief," stating, "The AK Toroslar gang is also giving orders to the MHP."
BAHÇELİ'S STRONG REACTION
MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's response to Özel's remarks was harsh. In his statement, Bahçeli said, "Every word of the CHP Chairman is a lie and a distortion, every claim and revelation is wild and misleading. The speech made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel at the Aydın Rally is, in a word, a delusional speech, a sample of defeat and disappointment."
REFERENCE TO İMAMOĞLU
Bahçeli pointed to the ongoing investigations into CHP municipalities, stating, "The person and his gang, who have instrumentalized the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality for political gain, collecting astronomical bribes from the tenders in a mechanism called 'the system,' have established a robbery regime in all its severity."
"LAWSUITS MUST BE CONCLUDED IMMEDIATELY"
Bahçeli also made a call regarding the investigations. The MHP leader expressed, "The Nationalist Movement Party desires that the ongoing lawsuits be concluded in accordance with the spirit of justice as soon as possible, and naturally, the objective verdict to be announced." He also emphasized that prolonged investigations are inevitably subject to political exploitation.
Highlights from Bahçeli's statements:
"It is clear and known how the CHP Chairman and the crime organization originating from the CHP have fallen into a trap and been driven into a dead end. Özgür Özel's reference to Selahattin Yılmaz as a 'hired killer and assassin' in his speech in Aydın, and his attempt to speculate on our party is the result of a shameful and degraded language. Selahattin Yılmaz is my comrade and fellow fighter. No nationalist can be defined as a hired killer, assassin, traitor, or illegitimate, nor can they be labeled as such. Claiming that the MHP is being adjusted based on the name Selahattin Yılmaz is a very serious slander, an unfounded and baseless fabrication."
SUPPORTED SELAHATTİN YILMAZ
Moreover, adjusting and directing the MHP is not something anyone can do. In summary, Selahattin Yılmaz is my comrade and fellow fighter. I believe that his innocence and innocence will be understood and revealed in the process. My advice to Özgür Özel is to refrain from dragging our comrades into his words and to engage with the thieves who are close by, and even in large numbers, unless he is in collaboration with them.
REACTION TO ÖZGÜR ÖZEL
The speech made by CHP Chairman Özgür Özel at the Aydın Rally, which has become a symbol of political disarray, is, in a word, a delusional speech, a sample of defeat and disappointment. Every word of the CHP Chairman is a lie and a distortion, every claim and revelation is wild and misleading. The Turkish political and democratic culture is being shamelessly, and moreover, recklessly destroyed. It must be emphasized that the bribery wheels revolving around CHP municipalities, the operating corruption construction sites, the expanding network of dirty relationships, the spiral of unjust gains, and the widespread illicit money traffics are all clearly evident and at the forefront of the agenda.
The person and his gang, who have instrumentalized the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality for political gain, collecting astronomical bribes from the tenders in a mechanism called 'the System,' have established a robbery regime in all its severity. Instead of slandering the collected material evidence and the striking confessions of those benefiting from effective remorse, the CHP Chairman should assist in the functioning of the judiciary, and attempt to emerge from the deep quagmire the CHP has fallen into by confronting the realities and making self-criticism, which is the most appropriate option for political reason and ethics.
"THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY IS A RULE OF LAW STATE"
The panic of criminals and the defense of corruption and bribery will not bring anything to the CHP Chairman, nor will it add anything. The openly established reign of haram and theft in the municipalities governed by the CHP is an undeniable fact that is a front against the state and the nation. The Republic of Turkey is a rule of law state.
Any attitude, stance, and behavioral political movements contrary to this are, of course, null and void. Those who think the sun can be smeared with mud, and those who calculate that our nation can be deceived with rallies are at the bottom of a visionless mind, an unconscious intellect, and a restless conscience.
The Nationalist Movement Party desires that the ongoing lawsuits be concluded in accordance with the spirit of justice as soon as possible, and naturally, the objective verdict to be announced.
"PROLONGED INVESTIGATIONS..."
The prolonged and extended investigations and prosecutions are inevitably subject to political exploitation, and they will be subjected to organized smear campaigns, triggering polarization dynamics.
