CHP Ankara Provincial Chairman Fahri Yıldırım, who was appointed by the CHP Headquarters for a short time, made a statement to SABAH.

FOR PERCEPTION OPERATION
Noting that the troll army, which was stated to have been established by Manisa Deputy Özgür Özel and his staff, was investigated, Yıldırım said, “Ali Haydar Fırat Bey stated that 34 thousand troll accounts from the previous period were detected, 3 thousand 400 of which were affiliated with FETO. Our deputy chairmen are conducting a very detailed investigation about the troll accounts, and our party will provide the necessary information in the coming days.

Through troll accounts, an extraordinary effort was made to change the perception in society and isolate Mr. Kemal. We know that these troll accounts are also used by foreign intelligence channels. We know that they are trying to weaken the party and alienate Kemal Bey. Almost all of the troll accounts operate abroad in exchange for money. Their accounts are not real. You examine it, it comes from South America, Afghanistan and Pakistan. “We are faced with a shameful situation,” he said.

PROVINCIAL HEADLINES ARE UNDER OCCUPATION
Stating that following the dismissal decisions against the provincial heads, the provincial headquarters building has still not been delivered in Ankara, as in other provinces, Yıldırım said, “Our provincial headquarters are currently under de facto occupation. Our dismissed friends must hand over the buildings to the newly appointed names in accordance with the statute, but they are actually occupying them. We have now received the bank accounts and cars of our provincial headquarters. I think they will leave the building this week, too. We do not plan to enter the provincial building with the police.”
