Butlancı Yarkadaş'a live broadcast harsh words: ‘You became a separatist, like FETÖ members…’

A heated exchange erupted on live television between former CHP lawmaker Dursun Çiçek and journalist Barış Yarkadaş, centered on the court's decision of "absolute nullity" within the party. Çiçek sharply criticized Yarkadaş for his repeated defense of the court's ruling, which led to the appointment of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu to the CHP leadership.

“

You have become a separatist, a separatist... like the FETÖ members...

The argument intensified when Yarkadaş referred to Çiçek as a "flatterer." Çiçek retaliated, accusing Yarkadaş of becoming a "separatist" and acting in a manner similar to members of the FETÖ organization. "You have become a separatist, a separatist... like the FETÖ members...", Çiçek stated during the broadcast.

“

Kemal Bey's lawyer, please do not.

Yarkadaş defended his stance, stating he was speaking as someone who had been politically active during Kılıçdaroğlu's tenure and trusted his ethics. He condemned Çiçek's words as disgraceful and accused him of speaking offensively. "You are the one flattering, Dursun Çiçek. Do not speak disgracefully," Yarkadaş retorted.

“

Look Dursun Çiçek, the morality of this party has been corrupted by some of our friends for 2 years.

The journalist further suggested that Çiçek's current attitude indicated a desire to form a new party, implying that he had already "finished off" the CHP. Yarkadaş pointed to the actions of Özgür Özel and his allies, who he claimed approached the MHP and AKP to prevent the "absolute nullity" ruling, stating their readiness for the post-Erdoğan era.

You are the one flattering, Dursun Çiçek. Do not speak disgracefully. I will make you swallow those words...
