CHP Erzincan Deputy Mustafa Sarıgül visited Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ, who were arrested in the corruption investigation against the IMM, by going to Silivri Prison.

"WHAT IS MY CRIME?"

Sarıgül stated that Özdağ did not accept the meals provided by the Ministry and only ate as much as he needed in the cafeteria, saying, "My teacher Özdağ says, 'What am I doing here?', 'What is my crime?'! He says there is a violation of freedom here. And he wants the indictment to be prepared as soon as possible," he said.

"MY INDICTMENT HAS NOT BEEN PREPARED AND SUBMITTED TO THE COURT"

On the other hand, Victory Party Chairman Ümit Özdağ, who made a statement from his X account, said, "Dear Turkish Nationalists, Dear Atatürkists, I have completed 70 days of being held captive in Silivri. My indictment has still not been prepared and submitted to the court. So why am I arrested?

"I AM BEING HELD HOSTAGE IN SILIVRI ON BEHALF OF 80% OF THE TURKISH NATION"

Because I opposed the division of the homeland with the constitutional amendment, and the removal of the Turkish expression from the constitution. I opposed the release of Öcalan. I opposed the second opening process that 80% of Turkey opposed, which would lead the country to disaster. I am being held hostage in Silivri on behalf of 80% of the Turkish Nation. No European country, the USA, or any other country raises an objection to my being held hostage in Silivri. Thank God, only Turkish Nationalists and Atatürkists object to my being held hostage in Silivri.

I ask Turkish Nationalists and Atatürkists to continue to support me with their speeches, writings, and prayers. Blessed is the one who says I am a Turk! Long live the Great Turkish Nation, Long live the Republic!" he stated.
