Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan stated that if a decision of 'absolute nullity' is made in the CHP, he will consider the committee that will come to the party's head as a junta committee, saying, "As long as that junta governs the Republican People's Party, whether it gives me an award or disciplines me, regardless of these, if the court makes such a decision and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his friends say 'we accept this duty', I will suspend my membership in the Republican People's Party by resigning until this political junta leaves the party's head."
TANJU ÖZCAN'S "ABSOLUTE NULLITY" STATEMENT
The building previously used as a café located in Nilüfer Park by Bolu Municipality has been rented by the BolSev Foundation, which belongs to the municipality. Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan met with journalists at the facility, which has been completely renovated and opened as a restaurant owned by the municipality.
"THE CASE IS DRAGGING ON"
Tanju Özcan also evaluated the case regarding his party's congress, which will be seen on October 24, saying: "I don't think a decision of absolute nullity can be made now. As a lawyer, I can't think of this. Because there has never been a case related to absolute nullity with any association or professional chamber, so it shouldn't be for a political party. But there is a case that has been opened. It is dragging on and on.
"WE HAVE TWO ISTANBUL PROVINCIAL CHAIRS"
The Ankara 42nd Civil Court of First Instance should either decide to accept the case to remove this issue from the agenda or reject the case and set aside this artificial discussion aimed at overcoming the economic difficulties in the country. Strange things are happening in Turkey now. We have two provincial chairs in Istanbul. One is our Istanbul provincial chair Özgür Çelik, accepted by the Supreme Election Council. He has his certificate. He has been authorized as the Istanbul provincial chair.
One is a trustee who was appointed as a result of a decision made by the Civil Court of First Instance, which exceeded its jurisdiction by a lot and violated the constitution. Friends, let every political party decide who they want to elect as their chairman based on the desires of their members and delegates. If you are going to make such a decision as a court, then don't prolong it, brother. Don't prolong it, make your decision as soon as possible. We have been talking with some of our friends since the morning.
'If such a decision is made, what will happen to the stock market, what will happen to the dollar?' Do people have to think about this? Do business people have to think for months about 'what decision will the court make regarding the Republican People's Party?' Why are you postponing? Judge, make your decision as soon as possible. If there will be an objection, let the parties concerned object. But this decision needs to be made and concluded as soon as possible."
"IF KILIÇDAROĞLU ACCEPTS THE DUTY, I WILL SUSPEND MY CHP MEMBERSHIP"
Tanju Özcan expressed that he would resign from his party if Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu comes to power with the decision of absolute nullity, saying: "If Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu and his team come to the party, I don't care whether he appoints me or not. I consider the committee that comes to the head of the party by court decision as a junta committee. I consider this a coup, and as long as that junta governs the Republican People's Party, whether it gives me an award or disciplines me, regardless of these, if the court makes such a decision and Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and his friends say 'we accept this duty', I will suspend my membership in the Republican People's Party by resigning until this political junta leaves the party's head.
As soon as Mr. Özgür Özel or another elected committee resumes the central management, I will personally apply for membership in the Republican People's Party. The situation is that clear. My stance is not to suspend my membership in the Republican People's Party because 'if Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu comes, he will throw me out anyway.' It is a situation stemming from the thought that I should not work under the junta in the Republican People's Party as long as this junta is in power, according to my understanding of democracy.
