"WE WILL SUCCEED TOGETHER, MAY GOD MAKE OUR PATH CLEAR"
The statement of Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was released from the terrorism investigation, has emerged. It has been learned that İmamoğlu used the following statements: "We will succeed together, may God make our path clear. I am a determined politician who is committed to the values of the Republic and is ready to sign a period in which the youth will write history in the 2nd Century of this Republic founded by Atatürk. Our nation will see and experience that we will achieve this goal together with the 86 million children of our nation."
"I REJECT THE ALLEGATIONS WITH A PLOT CONTENT"
I will fight endlessly on behalf of our nation and our state so that our flag will wave forever against those who act with the identity of this terrorist organization, those who wrote and fabricated these indictments, those who tried to defeat me with a plot, and those who are trying to turn the judiciary into a tool of politics. I feel stronger than yesterday, and I feel the presence of 86 million people behind me. Together, we will achieve a future where 86 million people will feel that they are the rightful citizens of this country, regardless of their identity or belief. May God make our path clear. I reject all defamatory, plot-based allegations that come to this court.
