Yüksel Arslan, who criticized Özel, received a warning from Mansur Yavaş: "Delete this statement."

Until the 2023 elections, the criticisms directed by independent MP Yüksel Arslan, who was one of the closest names to Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Mansur Yavaş, towards CHP Chairman Özgür Özel without naming him, drew attention. Arslan stated, "Those who only care about their own career and walk the path drawn for them are called 'Project Children,' not 'Mustafa Kemal's Soldiers.'" Meanwhile, Yavaş issued a warning. Mansur Yavaş said, "I do not approve of Arslan's statements. My advice to him is to delete this tweet."

HE ATTACKED ÖZGÜR ÖZEL

Yüksel Arslan, who served as Mansur Yavaş's private secretary until the 2023 elections and resigned after being elected as an MP from the İYİ Party on May 14, attacked CHP Chairman Özgür Özel without naming him. Arslan, who referred to Özgür Özel as a "project child," claimed that the CHP betrayed the memory of Atatürk.

"IT IS AS CLEAR AS THE DAY THEY BETRAYED ATATÜRK'S SACRED MEMORY"

Arslan said: "Those who are hand in hand with the enemies of the founding will and the principles established by Atatürk cannot be 'Mustafa Kemal's Soldiers.' It is as clear as the day that those who enter the same frame with terrorist organizations, ethnic separatists, and traitors to the homeland have betrayed Atatürk's sacred memory and struggle. If the phrase 'We are Mustafa Kemal's Soldiers' is on the lips of responsible and believing people, it will be a remedy for the country's problems. If it comes from the mouths of political counterfeiters and those whose allegiance to any flag is unclear, it is an attempt to cover up dirty intentions.

"PROJECT CHILD"

Those who collaborate to achieve the goals of attacks on the foundation of our state and the existence of our nation are not 'Mustafa Kemal's Soldiers' but enemies. Those who open doors in European capitals to climb the career ladder cannot look at Atatürk, who recognized no will other than the power and strength of the Turk, with our eyes. Those who only care about their own career and walk the path drawn for them are called 'Project Children,' not 'Mustafa Kemal's Soldiers.'

MANSUR YAVAŞ: "MY ADVICE TO HIM IS TO DELETE THIS TWEET"

Mansur Yavaş did not delay in warning Arslan. Stating that he does not approve of Arslan's statements, Yavaş said: "To the public's attention: I want it to be known that I do not approve of the statements made by independent MP Mr. Arslan and the text he published. It should also be well known that such statements do not fit my style of politics. My advice to him is to delete this tweet."
