Translated from Turkish.
Summary
Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, currently detained, directly addressed President Erdoğan and MHP leader Bahçeli, calling the ongoing legal case 'the shame of the century' and urging them not to cause further regret.
Detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu has issued a powerful and direct appeal to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli, condemning the legal proceedings against him. Speaking from his place of detention, İmamoğlu branded the case as 'the shame of the century,' expressing disbelief that the recipients of his message might not grasp its gravity. His words carry a defiant tone, challenging the legitimacy of the trial and highlighting the perceived injustice. İmamoğlu implored them, 'Don't cause regret once more!' This plea suggests a history of perceived wrongs or a fear of future repercussions, urging the nation's leaders to avoid actions that could lead to lasting shame or remorse. The statement underscores the deep political divisions and the high stakes involved in the current political climate in Turkey, positioning İmamoğlu as a vocal critic even while facing legal challenges.
This case is the shame of the century. Are you aware? I don't think you are!
Let no one utter words that will be regretted tomorrow under the roof of the Grand National Assembly.
Don't take any more souls! Don't regret it once more!
