Future Party Chairman Ahmet Davutoğlu was a guest of Melis Yaşar and Olgun Kızıltepe in the Haberler.com studio. In the program, Davutoğlu made striking statements regarding the agenda and also made a remarkable statement regarding the camera recording footage in the İBB corruption investigation.
"HAS THERE EVER BEEN A CAMERA RECORDING INCIDENT?"
Olgun Kızıltepe asked Davutoğlu on air, "You have been in politics for years. You served as Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in this country. Has there ever been a camera recording incident for you?" Davutoğlu responded to this question by saying, "I brought Iraqi resistance fighters and met them in a hotel in Istanbul. We were mediating. Precautions are taken at that time. It is a state duty... However, if I had a meeting in a hotel with party officials during my time in the AK Party, I would not need to record it. Again, if I had a legitimate meeting with a businessman, I would not record the camera."
"THE CHP HAS A RESPONSIBILITY HERE..."
Continuing his words, Davutoğlu called on the CHP management, stating, "The CHP's responsibility here is transparency... There cannot be a secret meeting in this sense. The AK Party's responsibility is to stop criminalizing what they do when others do it."
"IF THERE IS CORRUPTION, I STAND AGAINST IT"
Davutoğlu also made evaluations regarding the corruption operations against Ekrem İmamoğlu and the İBB, stating, "I do not look at names in principled matters. I look at actions. Whether someone is from the AK Party, CHP, or right-wing does not concern me. Well, everyone knows in my life, my political life, that my greatest defense is my principle of political ethics. When it comes to political ethics, I do not look at the identity of the person. If there is a wrongdoing, if there is corruption, if there is an assault on public property, if there is unjust enrichment, I will stand against whoever does it. That is why I said in a conversation about these four ministers during my prime ministership, I would act according to the judgment of the prophet who said, 'If it were my daughter Fatıma.' I said I would not look to my friend, to my right or left. I said I would hold accountable whoever makes a mistake. Now there is heavy responsibility on both sides. When it comes to political ethics, I do not look at the identity of the person; if there is corruption, I stand against it."
