\u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel, who is among the candidates for the CHP presidency after the elections on May 14 and 28, said, \u201cIf there will be change and transformation in the CHP, it will be by uniting, not by separating. We will not divide the change into fronts. We envision a change that will even include those who object to change.\u201d.<\/p>\n
Stating that \u201cwe have a common dream\u201d with Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem \u0130mamo\u011flu, CHP's \u00d6zel said, \u201cWe have a common dream with \u0130mamo\u011flu, if I take office in CHP, I will work in harmony with \u0130mamo\u011flu.\u201d.<\/p>\n
Here are the highlights of S\u00f6zc\u00fc daily columnist \u0130smail Saymaz's interview with CHP Group Chairman \u00d6zg\u00fcr \u00d6zel...<\/p>\n
- Imamoglu has turned his attention to IBB. What do you think?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIt was a decision I expected. Istanbulites are the most pleased. The Istanbul Alliance is the best example of a successful alliance against the AKP. Only Imamo\u011flu could sustain this alliance. Saying \u201cWhoever wins Istanbul wins Turkey\u201d is an important claim for the future. It is a valuable decision for the future of both Istanbul and Turkey. Ekrem Mayor made three decisions at once. The right decision for himself, Istanbul and Turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n - Rumor has it that he wants to run for president in 2028<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cIn terms of that goal, I think winning Istanbul once again will be the most important milestone. When Istanbul is won, Imamo\u011flu will have his fourth consecutive victory against the AKP. He will have won Istanbul three times. And we will ask: \u201cHow many times does Imamo\u011flu have to beat you?\u201d<\/p>\n - \u201cCHP has sons who know its history and have a clean record,\u201d Imamo\u011flu said for you<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cI am very pleased. It is important and valuable not only for me but also for many young friends who are not mentioned in the CHP. - When will you announce your candidacy?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOur organization is currently busy with district congresses. The party's tension beats there. In this critical process, we are trying to do the right things without leaving the party in a difficult situation in the public opinion, by showing our general president the value he deserves, and without shirking the responsibility imposed by history. The process will accelerate a little more.<\/p>\n Those who hope for change, those who are resentful of the party, those who express their anger and those who say they will not go to the polls if there is no change are waiting to see if something will change. No one should despair, we will do our part.\u201d<\/p>\n - Are you acting together with \u0130mamo\u011flu? Is your relationship similar to the relationship between Erdo\u011fan and G\u00fcl?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cSuch analogies give me goosebumps. It makes me want to drop everything and run away. These are the last two names I would want to be compared to. - Are you Imamo\u011flu's trustee candidate?<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThere is not the slightest conversation between \u0130mamo\u011flu and me such as \u201cI will stand until this day, you stand after this day\u201d. I reject this. However, \u0130mamo\u011flu and I have a common dream. If I take office in CHP, I know that I will work in harmony with \u0130mamo\u011flu.

\nI told you that I could assume responsibility for the presidency. We are in a process where our names are mentioned. I haven't announced my candidacy yet, but as one of the most mentioned names, I find the president's response polite.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBut we have similar concerns and hopes with \u0130mamo\u011flu. Not only with Mr. Ekrem, we have similar feelings with four out of five CHP members.
\nIf there is to be change and transformation in the CHP, it will not be by separating, but by uniting. We will not divide the change into fronts. We envision a change that will even include those who object to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe presidency of the CHP is something that was entrusted to Atat\u00fcrk. It is one thing to be in harmony with \u0130mamo\u011flu in the process of his winning Istanbul and then winning Turkey. It is another to hold this post for a while and then hand it over... The trust belongs to Atat\u00fcrk. Mr. Kemal has it now. If we are given the chance one day, we will feel the responsibility towards Atat\u00fcrk.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
