On the night of August 4, 2025, a tension arose during a security operation conducted by gendarmerie teams in the Beylikova district of Eskişehir.
A DISPUTE OCCURRED BETWEEN THE DISTRICT CHAIRMAN AND THE GENDARMERIE
According to the information obtained, AK Party Beylikova District Chairman Hasan Özılgın, who arrived at the checkpoint around 11:00 PM, caused difficulties for the officials. Hasan Özılgın verbally attacked Sergeant H. and other gendarmerie personnel, who were assigned to the district about two months ago, saying, "If you are on duty here, you will take your tablet and interrogate immediately. You can't just stand there like a show-off. If it's updating, it should say 'updating' accordingly."
"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT FILTH"
To the gendarmerie personnel who said, "Let's take the IDs," Özılgın insulted, saying, "Dude... I swear you are nothing but filth." Despite the gendarmerie's warning to "speak properly," he continued his insults. When the personnel said, "We are doing our job, don't personalize this," Özılgın responded, "What you are doing is disrespectful."
"YOU ARE THE SHOW-OFF, IT SEEMS"
In response to the insults, Özılgın told the gendarmerie, who was trying to remain calm, "Don't be polite to me, brother." "Already 50% of Beylikova says that whatever happens, happens there with the gendarmerie. It seems you are the show-off, annoying the people. You shouldn't treat people like terrorists. You are not catching those selling drugs in Beylikova; you are stopping us. You are playing games with yourself, looking for entertainment. Don't you know me?" he expressed.
To the gendarmerie's warning, "Don't insult, I will complain," he replied, "I will complain about you too."
CAPTURED ON BODY CAMERA
A portion of the argument was captured on the body camera of the gendarmerie personnel. The personnel, who stated that they were insulted, filed a complaint, and the Beylikova Public Prosecutor's Office initiated an investigation regarding the incident.
