Hasan İmamoğlu, the father of İBB President Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was detained in a terrorism and corruption operation, broke his silence. Father Hasan İmamoğlu made statements regarding his son's detention, the diploma issue, and the seizure of İmamoğlu Construction.
Speaking to Saygı Öztürk from Sözcü, Hasan İmamoğlu said about Ekrem İmamoğlu's horizontal transfer from Girne American University to Istanbul University Faculty of Business, "My son was not the only one who made a horizontal transfer. At that time, I believe about 11 other people transferred from the same faculty within a week or 10 days. These transfers are not a personal matter. It is a transition made between two universities. Moreover, this was not a situation unique to my son. The public is evaluating the purpose of the cancellation of his diploma."
"I WAS CLOSE FRIENDS WITH MEHMET CENGİZ"
İmamoğlu stated that he used to be a close friend of Mehmet Cengiz and that they entered the business world around the same time, saying, "Our family company is with my son. I say, if something happens like this, look at Mehmet, we were together in business life, but God said to him, 'Go on, my servant,' I don't have much high-level work. I worked boutique, and I came out of all of them with my head held high. Thank God I will come out of this as well," he said.
"I FEAR NO ONE BUT GOD, WE FEAR NO ONE"
Hasan İmamoğlu said the following:
"This country was not easily won. My grandfather and two of his brothers became martyrs for this country. So I ask: Why did they become martyrs? Now we have risen, can you look here? Look at what is being done to change the regime. I experienced the 1960 coup in elementary school. I experienced the 1980 coup. There were many coup attempts. I have never seen anything like this. When I was a primary school student during the 1960 coup, they made us shout 'Is it possible for a brother to shoot a brother?' I still condemn it. Now, whether it's good intention or bad intention, they say 'I said it happened' and take Ahmet, take Mehmet. Why? I fear no one but God, we fear no one.
"WE CAME FROM THE FIELD. WE PLANT, WE HARVEST. NO PROBLEM AT ALL"
Thank God we came from the field. We plant, we harvest. No problem at all. These days will pass well."
