Ümit Özdağ, the leader of the Victory Party, who was investigated on charges of insulting the President and was detained yesterday, has been arrested. Following Özdağ's arrest, his lawyer Sevdagül Tunçer made statements.



"THE ARREST CANNOT DETER ME"



Tunçer conveyed a handwritten message from Özdağ, who was sent to Marmara Prison in Silivri after his arrest. Tunçer said, "The note from our Chairman was written not only to me but also to you. Now I am conveying this note: 'I am a soldier of Atatürk and I will steadfastly defend the Republic established by Atatürk with all my strength. Today, the arrest cannot deter me. I will continue my struggle even in prison. My only concern is to be the target of an assassination like they did to the late Kaşif Kozinoğlu. I ask the Turkish nation to support the Victory Party.'"



"WE WILL SUPPORT THE PARTY WITH THE MANDATE WE RECEIVED FROM OUR CHAIRMAN"



Continuing her remarks, Tunçer stated, "The Victory Party is not without a leader. The Turkish nation, the Turkish homeland, and the Republic of Turkey are not without a leader. First, the duty entrusted to us by Mustafa Kemal is to protect this land, this homeland, and this state. Today, with the mandate we received from our chairman, we will support the Victory Party. They will be drowned. They will be defeated. We will continue to fight. They will lose.



"MUSTAFAS WILL NEVER EXPIRE IN THESE LANDS"



Mustafas will never expire in these lands. In these lands, Halime Çavuşlar and Talat Paşas will never expire. We die once, but we rise a thousand times. You cannot silence us without killing us. You cannot deter us. We will continue to fight even stronger."
