Just yesterday, the leaders of the tribune thought that if this issue came to light and this disgrace exploded and the people would condemn us and excuse it, they trusted the guarantee they received on Sunday and said, ‘I will join the AK Party group on Wednesday. Stand with us as Ankaragücü. Meet your every need.’ He says to the tribune leader, ‘Let me buy you a flat.’ Go ahead, do the interview, give it at the last minute. Ask the Ankaragücü tribune leaders. “He knows that he cannot take a matchstick from the CHP behind him when he passes on Wednesday,” he said.

Özel pointed out the Ankaragücü tribune leaders as the addressees of the allegations and stated that members of the press could meet with them.

MAYOR İLHAMI ARSLAN: “ANKARAGÜCÜ IS NOT PART OF PERCEPTION OPERATIONS”

Club president İlhami Alparslan also participated in the discussions with a written statement. Alparslan stated that the name Ankaragücü being the subject of political polemics at the CHP group meeting created serious discomfort in the community and made the following statements:

The fact that the name MKE Ankaragücü was discussed in political discussions at the Republican People’s Party group meeting held today has created deep discomfort in our community. Ankaragücü is not part of daily political polemics, personal calculations and perception operations. Its origin is not in any political calendar; It lies in the spirit of Military Manufacturing, which assumes responsibility in the nation’s most difficult times. The name of our club; It is a supra-political affiliation that represents labor, sacrifice and common memory. Words that come out of mouths that do not know Ankaragücü, that are not happy for this coat of arms, or that are not sad for these colors have no equivalent in the eyes of our community. We are part of the honorable struggle that created this club. With the responsibility we inherited from İmalat-ı Harbiye; We will continue to fight on the field, unite in the stands and act with the values ​​of Ankaragücü, not politics.

VERY HARD STATEMENT FROM ANKARAGÜCÜ FAN GROUP

Ankaragücü fan group Bekar Evi Çocukları also opposed the allegations with harsh words in their statement to the public. The following statements were used in the statement:

Anyone who makes and spreads this unfounded news and seeks help from this claim is dishonorable and does not prove it. There is no basis to the claims of ‘apartment promise’ or ‘political bargaining’. A dirty perception operation is being carried out to damage our tribune culture and the honor of our community.

In the statement, it was emphasized that Ankaragücü fans will not be part of political negotiations and said, “Our political identity is Ankaragücü. Our only color is yellow-dark blue. We are not at the bargaining tables, but on away buses and in the stands.” The fan group stated that they will continue to take a firm stance against such allegations and called on the Ankaragücü community not to trust the news “served”.

Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Numan Kurtulmuş, met with the Speaker of the Kyrgyzstan Parliament (Jokorku Keneş), Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu, who paid an official visit to Türkiye, in the Parliament.

After welcoming Turgunbek Uulu upon his arrival at the Parliament, Kurtulmuş held a one-on-one and inter-delegation meeting with his guest counterpart.

Speaking at the joint press conference held at the Grand National Assembly Ceremony Hall after the meetings, Kurtulmuş expressed his satisfaction in hosting Turgunbek Uulu and his delegation in the Parliament and expressed his gratitude for bringing the breezes from the ancestral homeland to Ankara, the capital of Türkiye.

Kurtulmuş said that it was meaningful and valuable that Turgunbek Uulu, whom he congratulated on being re-elected as the “President of the Parliament”, made his first foreign visit to Türkiye, as in the previous period.

Stating that they had very productive negotiations with Turgunbek Uulu and his delegation, Kurtulmuş noted that Turgunbek Uulu also paid a return visit to Ankara after his official visit to Kyrgyzstan last year.

Stating that they are following with great satisfaction the relations between the two countries, which have been developing gradually in recent years under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Kyrgyz President Sadır Caparov, also reflected in the relations between the parliaments, Kurtulmuş emphasized that they are determined to further develop these relations.

Reminding that a memorandum of understanding was signed between the parliaments of the two countries during their visit to Kyrgyzstan last year, Kurtulmuş said that they would be very pleased to host the “Turkey Friendship Group” formed in Kyrgyzstan in Türkiye during this process.

Stating that Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, as two important countries of the Turkic world, have entered an extremely close working period both within the Organization of Turkic States and within the body of TURKPA, the joint assembly of parliaments, Kurtulmuş underlined that they have been diligently maintaining their relations for a long time before these two important international organizations of the Turkish world.

“ONE OF THE IMPORTANT DUTIES FOR THE COUNTRIES OF THE TURKISH WORLD…”

TBMM Speaker Kurtulmuş stated that the Turkish world is a candidate to become one of the most important centers of world politics, whose balances have completely changed in the coming period, and it is already clear that it is entering a major transformation process, and said:

“The Turkish world, located in the most strategic regions from Central Asia to the interior of Europe, on the most important energy and transportation lines, is one of the remarkable centers of the world with its surface area of 4.5 million square kilometers, very rich underground and aboveground resources and a population of approximately 300 million. No matter how the balances develop in the next period, it is obvious that a new multilateral, multi-centered political formation will emerge in the world. That is why we say that the Turkish world, which has such a great potential, will make the most of this opportunity it has.” It is necessary to make good use of it, to develop the cooperation between them in an extremely strong way, and to move forward much more strongly by using all the geostrategic opportunities of this geography we are in.

We hope that our President’s goal of making the second century of the Republic of Turkey the ‘Century of Türkiye’ will be further expanded and the next century will be the ‘Century of Türkiye and the Turkish World’. For this reason, developing our relations in every field in the strongest possible way and using our opportunities to the fullest is one of the important duties for the countries of the Turkish world. Just as we increase our cooperation in the fields of education and culture, we also have to strengthen our relations in the fields of economy, bilateral and multilateral trade, energy, transportation and especially high technologies. “The relations between Türkiye and Kyrgyzstan are one of the relations that have developed in this sense and will set an example for other Turkic world countries.”

“Türkiye-KYRGYZSTAN RELATIONS HAVE PASSED A NEW ERA”

Kurtulmuş noted that Turkey-Kyrgyzstan relations have entered a new era with the numerous bilateral agreements signed during President Erdoğan’s official visit to Kyrgyzstan in 2024 and bilateral relations raised to the level of improved strategic relations.

Stating that they will make every effort to increase the relations between the parliaments and to ensure that the Türkiye-Kyrgyzstan relations, which have developed recently, are among the exemplary bilateral relations, Kurtulmuş continued his words as follows:

“With the General Assembly of TURKPA to be held in autumn this year, Kyrgyzstan will take over the Term Presidency of TURKPA from Kazakhstan. I would also like to express that we attach importance to Kyrgyzstan’s candidacy for temporary membership of the United Nations Security Council for the period of 2027-2028. As Turkey, we are considering Kyrgyzstan’s candidacy for temporary membership on all platforms and especially through all our embassies in countries such as Latin America and Africa, where we are stronger than Kyrgyzstan.” We will put forth every effort to make it happen.

We believe that it is essential to further strengthen the relations between Türkiye and Kyrgyzstan, especially in the economic field. The bilateral trade volume of 5 billion dollars, which was set as a common goal by the Presidents of the two countries, is unfortunately only at the level of 1.5 billion dollars. “When we look at the potential of both Kyrgyzstan and Türkiye, it is possible to achieve this 5 billion dollar target in a very short time, and it is the common duty of all relevant institutions of both countries to work diligently for this.”

Kurtulmuş also stated that the relations between Turkey and Kyrgyzstan continue at an excellent level in every field and said, “Our hope is to take these relations to a stronger point in a comprehensive and multilateral manner in the coming period, to further increase the efficiency we obtain from these relations, and to further increase the friendly and fraternal opportunities we have for the common wealth and prosperity of the people of Turkey and Kyrgyzstan.” he said.

STATEMENT OF TERRORISM-FREE Türkiye

In response to the question regarding the agreement reached with the terrorist organization YPG in Syria, Turkish Grand National Assembly Speaker Kurtulmuş said that they follow the developments in Syria very closely and that they see the latest developments as positive and important.

Stating that they gave importance to 3 issues after the revolution in Syria, Kurtulmuş said:

“One of these is that no terrorist organization should shelter in Syrian territory, which has become a haven for terrorist organizations for many years. Second, the territorial integrity of Syria should be ensured. Third, a new Syrian administration should be established in which the entire Syrian people, including all their ethnic and sectarian differences in Syria, are represented. The agreement reached between the Syrian administration and the SDF is a concrete reflection of our wishes on this issue. I hope that this integration process will be successfully completed without leaving any provocation and that different social segments will be represented in Syria.” A new management period will be started in which the

The silence of the guns in Syria, the establishment of peace in Syria, the peaceful living of Arabs, Kurds, Turkmens, Nusayris, Sunnis, Druzes, Yazidis, in short, all Syrian people together in Syria, is undoubtedly a factor that will strengthen stability and peace in Türkiye and stability in the entire region. That’s why we fully support the peace process in Syria. We see it as important for Türkiye’s future that this process be completed without any accidents, troubles, mischief, or any provocation. I would like to reiterate something we have said from the beginning: Türkiye without terrorism actually means a region without terrorism. “A terrorism-free region is one of the most important elements that will ensure the stability of both Türkiye and the region.”

“THE OLD MEN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WORD: DESCRIBE THE STYLE, THE SAME PERSON”

TBMM Speaker Kurtulmuş said, “There is a debate on blasphemy in politics these days. This is an issue that comes up in discussions in the Parliament from time to time. Can we get your evaluation?” In response to the question, he made the following evaluation:

“I do not engage in the polemics of daily politics, both in terms of my political identity and my responsibility as the President of the Parliament, but as long as I can remember, I have always tried to say this throughout my political life: Politics is actually a matter of the style used as much as it is related to the content of the words spoken. For this reason, my advice to everyone is to pay attention to the tone they use. In this context, everyone should strive to do politics with a decent and clean language, by complying with the basic human requirements, within the rules of courtesy that being human has taught us. Because politicians, yes, “It is not separate from the society, but every segment of the society looks at the politician, and we know that every word spoken here deeply affects the society. This is what the old saying goes: The style is the same as the person.”

In response to a question about TURKPA, Kurtulmuş stated that Uzbekistan is one of the important cultural centers of the Turkish world and that it is a country with deep historical and cultural values.

Kurtulmuş said, “A TURKPA without Uzbekistan is incomplete. Likewise, we hope that Hungary, which is an observer member, will become a full member of TURKPA as soon as possible. Even though it acts with the principle of full neutrality, we also wish Turkmenistan to be a part of TURKPA. From our perspective, we hope that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which currently has observer member status, will become one of the main members of TURKPA as soon as possible. I would like to express that we expect the support of friendly and brotherly countries for this.” he said.

THEY CHAIRED THE MEETING BETWEEN THE DELEGATIONS

Kurtulmuş, in his inter-delegation meeting with Turgunbek uulu, emphasized that, as Türkiye, they attach great importance to the stability, prosperity and regional effectiveness of Kyrgyzstan.

TBMM Speaker Kurtulmuş stated that they will continue their work to further deepen the cooperation between sister countries in all aspects, especially in political, economic and human areas.

Stating that, as parliamentarians, they can make significant contributions to the development of cooperation between the two countries by effectively benefiting from the opportunities offered by parliamentary diplomacy, which is increasingly important and effective, in addition to the work at the government level, Kurtulmuş noted that parliamentarians can make positive contributions to the deepening of cooperation in these areas by addressing the cooperation opportunities between the two countries in many areas.

Kurtulmuş emphasized that he attaches importance to the work of friendship groups and that these works can produce important outcomes.

Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly Kurtulmuş also invited Turgunbek uulu to the 152nd General Assembly of the IPU, which they will host in Istanbul on 15-19 April.

At the meeting, Turkey-Kyrgyzstan Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group Chairman and AK Party Tokat Deputy Yusuf Beyazıt, Turkey-Kyrgyzstan Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group members AK Party Niğde Deputy Cevahir Uzkurt, AK Party Bursa Deputy Emel Gözükara Durmaz, CHP Istanbul Deputy Fethi Açıkel, MHP Samsun Deputy İlyas Topsakal and Kyrgyzstan. Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Ankara Ruslan Kazakbaev and Kyrgyz MPs were present.

Kurtulmuş and Turgunbek uulu left carnations in the Parliament area, which was later bombed during FETO’s coup attempt on July 15.

Turgunbek uulu also visited the Grand National Assembly of Turkey General Assembly Hall and received information about the activities of the General Assembly.

It was stated that the artists affiliated with her company actively supported the Gezi Park protests in the field, and it was concluded that Ayşe Barım coordinated and directed the artists who supported the Gezi Park protests. In the opinion, it was stated that the Gezi Park protests were carried out in an organized, systematic and planned manner, and that the defendant Ayşe Barım also acted in the direction of planning, organization and direction by showing will on social media and in the field on behalf of the artists-actors who had a high potential to attract the masses by sympathizing with all these people in this process.

“THERE CANNOT BE ACCIDENTIAL MEETINGS”

While Ayşe Barım has no previous communication records with the main actors of Gezi Park, she was in frequent and systematic contact during the preparation and beginning of the Gezi Park protests, and these meetings, which were held for the first time during the Gezi Park protests, were in the ordinary course of life.

It was stated that they could not be considered as chance meetings. It was stated that Ayşe Barım, through the artists affiliated with her company, systematically shared the hashtags #occupyturkey and #DirenGeziParkı, which are among the most used tags, as an effective part of the process on Twitter, which is the area where the demonstrations were mainly organized from the beginning of the Gezi uprising, through her social media accounts, thus taking an active role on behalf of the artists community and carrying out guiding activities within the scope of the dissemination of the process.

“IT PREPARED THE GROUND FOR THE INCREASE OF VIOLENT INCIDENTS

It was stated that Ayşe Barım supported the process and ensured its spread, prepared the ground for the escalation of violence by calling for action through artists affiliated with her company, and effectively directed the players affiliated with her to the field. In this way, it was stated that he participated in the crime of Attempting to Overthrow the Government of the Republic of Turkey or Prevent it from Performing Its Duty.

In his speech at his party’s Grand National Assembly Group Meeting, CHP leader Özgür Özel claimed that Mesut Özarslan contacted the Ankaragücü tribune leaders and claimed that Özarslan asked for support from the tribune leaders during his transition to the AK Party. Özel claimed that Özarslan told the tribune leaders, “I am joining the AK Party group on Wednesday, stand with me as Ankaragücü,” and even promised a tribune leader an apartment. Following these allegations, a written statement came from Mesut Özarslan. Özarslan, who started his statement by saying “My dear fellow countrymen”, argued that Özgür Özel lied to the public in his group speech dated February 10, 2026.

“HE IS MAKING A FALSE STATEMENT”

Özarslan stated that Özgür Özel distorted the content of the messages he sent to him and said: “Mr. Özgür Özel lied to his closest colleagues, MPs, mayors and the public by changing the swear words and insults in the messages he sent to me, and by not disclosing other insulting messages. It does not suit a chairman to make a false statement by looking into people’s eyes.”

“THIS STRUGGLE IN THE PIT OF LIE”

Özarslan, who harshly rejected the allegations against Ankaragücü tribune leaders, stated that these words were “unfounded and slanderous”. In his statement, Özarslan reminded that Ankaragücü Board Member Muammer Polat and club officials denied the allegations and said:

“The claim that I told the Ankaragücü tribune leader, ‘I am moving to the AK Party, support me, I will buy you a flat’ is completely untrue. These statements have been clearly denied by Ankaragücü Board Member Muammer Polat and other officials. In addition, the tribune groups have also strongly denied these allegations on their social media accounts. I feel sorry for the Chairman’s struggles in the pit of lies he has fallen into.”

The promises made to the workers in CHP’s Buca Municipality, which has frequently become the constant address of worker protests because it did not pay workers’ salaries and social rights arising from the collective bargaining agreement on time, were again not kept. This being the case, the Management of Izmir Branch No. 6 of the General Labor Union, affiliated with DİSK, organized in the Buca Mar Company affiliated with the municipality, where 1800 workers work, decided to go on an indefinite work stoppage. Employees who came to the municipality’s main building on Menderes Street yesterday morning printed cards but did not start work. In the statement made by DİSK Genel-İş Union İzmir Branch No. 6, it was pointed out that no payment has been made even though approximately 40 days have passed since the previously given payment date.

THE MUNICIPALITY IS IN DEBT TANK

Announcing the start of a work stoppage in all units of the municipality, the union stated that municipal workers no longer have the economic power to endure, and that workers crushed under the burden of debt have difficulty finding travel money even to go to work. In the statement, it was underlined that the responsibility for what happened was not the union but the municipality administration, which did not fulfill its promises to the workers. Buca Mayor Görkem Duman received a loan authorization of 375 million liras from the municipal council to pay workers’ receivables. It was learned that banks did not give loans to the debt-ridden municipality.

Keçiören Mayor Mesut Özarslan, who announced his resignation from CHP with a statement on social media the day before after CHP Chairman Özgür Özel sent him abusive messages, held a press conference yesterday regarding the scandal. PRESSURE AND MOBBING

Özarslan said, “As you can see, we are on our duty. We will continue to serve the public. While we were aiming to raise the services to higher levels, some people started an incredible pressure and mobbing on us. The messaging incidents with the Chairman two days ago are a curse and an insult to my family. In such an environment, we announced that we will no longer be in the CHP and that we resigned. We will continue to serve our people with the motto of serving the public. We will continue on our way by protecting the rights of all voters who voted for us on March 31.” he said. “I filed a criminal complaint against CHP Chairman Özgür Özel to the prosecutor’s office,” said Özarslan, adding, “Other members of my family also wanted to do so. We are people of the great Turkish nation, we do not speak disrespectfully to anyone. It saddens us all that a party founded by Atatürk has fallen into such a situation. I will not ignore the attacks on my family. I am an honorable, honorable, Muslim Turkish child. I am sure that the great Turkish justice will be held accountable for this. I called my pilgrim mother ‘badly’.” “I will be held accountable for the words ‘woman’, who treated my late father as if he did not exist. Özel, you will be tried and punished for the messages you sent to me. This state will do whatever is right, law and justice within the framework of my criminal complaint.”

HERE ARE THOSE MESSAGES

It was seen that the messages CHP Chairman Özel sent to Özarslan included heavy insults and threats. Regarding the private matter, he said to journalists close to the CHP, “I may have said go away.” However, it was determined that the resulting messages contained much more severe profanities.

Some of the statements allegedly mentioned in the messages are as follows: “Actually, you confess that you are a thief and dishonorable. But when the day comes, I will make it against you. You confessed that you are a thief, corrupt, and despicable. But the day will come when you will turn around and fall into my hands. I would be disgraced if I felt sorry for you that day. Dog. S… go. Low dog s… go. Slacker. Characterless bastard…. The mother who gave birth to you would be ashamed of you.”

A SHAMEY EXAMPLE OF UNPRINCIPLED POLITICS

Former CHP Deputy Chairman Yılmaz Ateş directed harsh criticism to the CHP administration after the resignation of Keçiören Mayor Özarslan. Sharing a post on his social media account, Ateş said, “What happened in the CHP, which was transformed with the 2010 conspiracy, are examples of the shame of unprincipled politics. Decision-makers who see CHP members as unqualified employees and sacrifice the presidency, deputies and mayoralties piece by piece to populism are also responsible and partners in the ugliness that happened.” ANKARA

ÖZARSLAN CALLED YAVAŞ: IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TOO TOMORROW

Addressing CHP’s Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş in a broadcast he was a guest in the previous day, Özarslan stated that what he experienced could happen to other mayors as well and said, “I am calling out to Mayor Mansur and other mayors. This situation happened to me today, it will happen to you tomorrow too. I am only angry because he did not take care of me recently.”

‘PRESSURE INCREASED AFTER MY VISIT TO THE MINISTER INSTITUTION’

Özarslan said that the reason behind the pressure put on him by CHP leader Özel was the meeting he had with the Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, Murat Kurum, on January 6, with the aim of solving the problems of the district. Noting that the visit was turned into a ‘perception operation’ by some groups within the party, Özarslan stated that he was faced with a systematic gossip process. Emphasizing that his relationship with Murat Kurum is a long-standing school and work friendship, Özarslan said, “After this visit, his pressure on me increased.”

‘WHY DID YOU DELETE THE MESSAGES?’

Özarslan said, “Özgür Özel deleted the messages. Why did you delete them, Özgür Özel? Doesn’t the state or technology see this? Don’t you think there are HTS records?” he said. Answering the question about his political future, Özarslan stated that he comes from a conservative family and said, “I come from a conservative family in Sivas. Neither AKP nor MHP is far from the education in which I was raised. We will see.” These words were interpreted as Özarslan giving the green light to the possibility of transition to the People’s Alliance.
