The 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Justice annulled all congress processes of the CHP, including the 38th Ordinary Congress in which Özgür Özel was elected as the chairman, on the grounds of “absolute nullity”. As Kılıçdaroğlu took office after the court’s decision, all eyes once again turned to the “Ekrem İmamoğlu Criminal Organization for Profitable Organization” indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office. In the indictment, which was also effective in the court’s “absolute nullity” decision, extensive coverage was given to allegations that Ekrem İmamoğlu and his team acted in an organized manner to take over the CHP and nominate the presidential candidate. The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office examined the images of the moments when Özgür Özel went on stage and gave a speech after declaring his victory, with the photographs added to the indictment. Acting together with İmamoğlu, who is claimed to be the leader of the organization, and allegedly directly influencing the outcome of the congress, and managing the congress process behind the scenes, İBB Medya A.Ş. President Murat Ongun and İBB Spor A.Ş. Its President and “Secret Safe” Fatih Keleş is also in the file. Necati Özkan, İmamoğlu’s advisors in his close team, and Yiğit Oğuz Duman, his advisor at Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, were also included in the file as other important actors who changed the course of the congress.

UNREGISTERED MONEY IN THE SYSTEM
Hasan Hüseyin Şenyurt, who testified as a witness in the investigation file, disclosed the unregistered money traffic carried out through advertising and tender processes with the following words: “Hüseyin Köksal is İmamoğlu’s safe. His private driver Servet Yıldırım used to tell me that he took bags of money from İBB Kültür A.Ş. and took them to Tuncay Yılmaz, the general manager of İmamoğlu company. Servet gave 1 billion 200 million liras to Berber at the congress. He said that they converted it into foreign currency at Yaşar’s foreign exchange office and gave it to the delegates, and distributed 70 flats of KİPTAŞ to the delegates.

BRIBERY UNDER THE DISPLAY OF DONATION
Another witness in the file, Erkan Çakır, pointed out the financial irregularities at the delegate level and said, “CHP delegate Veysi Uyanık knows very well the process of giving money to delegates and distributing shopping cards during the congress period. These cards and money distributed are bribes. They disguised everything as a donation, just like they did in the purchase of the provincial building.”

VIP LIST IN KİPTAŞ PROJECT
Another leg of the financing allegations in the indictment was contractor Adem Soytekin’s confessions regarding the KİPTAŞ Pendik Arkalı Project. Soytekin described the meeting they had with KİPTAŞ General Manager Ali Kurt as follows: “100 of the flats that will be sold in the first stage were reserved by KİPTAŞ under the name of ‘VIP list’. Ali Kurt said that the flats would be sold at 10 thousand TL, below the market, upon the instructions of Ekrem İmamoğlu. When he objected, 25 flats were given to contractors. The remaining 75 flats were distributed to CHP members, council members and municipal employees with political weight. These flats “It went to people who were influential in the congress process. Moreover, after the transactions, Ali Kurt asked us for 1 million 500 thousand dollars in cash. We withdrew this money and delivered it to Fatih Keleş or Tuncay Yılmaz.”

This is a process equivalent to putting dynamite at the bottom of the democratic system.” he said.

“That’s why we see our universities as strategic institutions that strengthen the character, horizons and sense of responsibility of our young people. Under the leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we strive to build the Turkey Century with the contribution of our young people who grow up with this understanding. The Turkey Century Education Model, which was implemented in line with this goal, is a strong education approach that combines knowledge with value. In a world where processing information and producing meaning rather than accessing information has become more valuable, we also express the importance of this new model. I would like to.”

Stating that they are proud of the achievements of Sivas Science and Technology University in a short time in this direction, Göktaş stated that the university adds value to the future of Sivas with the opportunities it offers and its understanding of education.

These classrooms, laboratories and research centers have been prepared for you to grow stronger, produce and contribute to the future of our country. We trust you. We believe that your mind will meet with brand new ideas and your ideas will open completely different horizons. Our expectation from you is not only to equip yourself with professional knowledge, but also with your diligence, sense of responsibility and commitment to your country.” “Our expectation from you is to be the intellectual workers and productive hands of the Turkish Century. Because Türkiye’s strong future will rise with young people who read the world correctly and draw strength from their own civilizational values.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO ÖZGÜR BEY ON HIS NEW POSITION

Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was reinstated as CHP Chairman by the court, made a statement to the press members waiting in front of his residence.

Kılıçdaroğlu stated that he promised to make a statement to members of the press yesterday, but the statement was postponed until today because of a problem with his vocal cords due to heavy phone traffic. He congratulated Özgür Özel, who was removed from his post as CHP Chairman as a precautionary measure by the decision of the 36th Civil Chamber of the Ankara Regional Court of Justice, for being re-elected as the CHP GNAT Group Chairman.

Stating that Özel “expressed that he would meet with him” but the meeting has not taken place so far, Kılıçdaroğlu said, “I hope a meeting will take place in the coming days or today. He was going to call me, and he said to me, ‘I will call you after meeting with my friends.’ he said. “This meeting has not taken place yet, maybe it will happen today.” he said.

Reminding that CHP is a deep-rooted party that establishes and directs the state, Kılıçdaroğlu said:

“CHP must protect its moral values ​​and superiority. In the presence of all of you, I promise all my citizens, especially the party members. We will restore the Republican People’s Party to the codes of its founding. It will have moral values. Our party has received a lot of criticism. There has been criticism from the opposition and civil society, but there has been no criticism about the party’s moral values ​​until now, and now it is. We need to correct these moral values.

In this process, it is necessary to carefully avoid discourses that will divide the party’s base. I use very careful language on this issue. I express it the same way to all my friends. It is necessary to carefully avoid discourses that will divide and antagonize the party’s base. This party is a party that founded the Republic and adopted morality and virtue as its basic philosophy. “It is no longer right to expose this party to moral problems and to remain silent in the face of some similar events.”

“IT IS NOT RIGHT TO CREATE A FIGHTING ENVIRONMENT”

Stating that in the CHP party culture, negative or derogatory language will not be used about the person who is the chairman, Kılıçdaroğlu continued his words as follows:

“Because we are respectful to all party leaders and their criticisms. There were chairmen who criticized me. I have always approached them with respect before. I went to them about the criticisms and met with them. Therefore, creating hostility within the party base, getting into each other, creating a conflicting environment, these are not right. For this reason, I especially ask all my friends, deputies, provincial chairmen, district chairmen and the voters of the party. We must carefully avoid a language that divides this party within itself. We, the Republican People, “We are a well-established party, we have to protect our roots and morals.”
