Gürsel Tekin, who was appointed as the trustee of the CHP Istanbul Provincial Presidency, faced intense reactions upon his arrival at the provincial headquarters in Sarıyer. In a statement to the press, Tekin mentioned that he had lost a relative and left the provincial headquarters after staying for 5 minutes.
After the court decision to suspend CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman Özgür Çelik, Gürsel Tekin was appointed as the trustee. Gürsel Tekin faced incidents upon his arrival at the CHP Istanbul Provincial Headquarters in Sarıyer last Monday, where he was met with intense reactions as water bottles and other objects were thrown at him while entering the building.
"I JUST RECEIVED THE NEWS OF MY FRIEND'S DEATH"
Gürsel Tekin, who was at the center of the reactions, arrived at the CHP provincial building. Before entering the building, Tekin spoke to the press, saying, "I have no information to share with you or provide you at this point. I came because I promised you. A very dear friend of mine had a brain hemorrhage 4 days ago. I just received the news of his death. I will go there. My request from you is this; from today onwards, we will focus on our work. Please engage with the real agenda of Turkey," he said. Afterward, Tekin entered the building and left the presidency after approximately 5 minutes.
