The ceremony, hosted by CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman G\u00fcrsel Tekin in front of the party building, was well attended.<\/p>\n<p>Many prominent figures from the world of politics and media came together at the event. Former Provincial Presidents Ali \u00d6zcan and Berhan \u015eim\u015fek, former State Minister Mehmet Sevigen and journalist Bar\u0131\u015f Yarkada\u015f did not leave G\u00fcrsel Tekin and his party members alone.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe Will Not Damage Our Brotherhood Law\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman G\u00fcrsel Tekin addressed the party members and the citizens gathered at the ceremony and delivered an enthusiastic speech in which he emphasized unity, solidarity and loyalty within the party. In his speech, Tekin gave special thanks to former provincial chairs Ali \u00d6zcan and Berhan \u015eim\u015fek:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur two very valuable former provincial presidents; Mr. Ali \u00d6zcan and Mr. Berhan \u015eim\u015fek... Even though our party has had problems, we will never damage our brotherhood law. Mr. \u00d6zcan has been a big brother to all of us and has repeatedly contacted our friends who have created problems outside of us. Let's solve the problems... Our raison d'\u00eatre is to solve the fight between brothers, the fight!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe Do Not Accept Attacks on the Republican People's Party\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Reacting sharply to the recent discussions and allegations against the party in the media, Tekin drew attention to the deep-rooted history of the CHP and continued as follows:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet no one worry; we will never accept an attack on the Republican People's Party, we will shield ourselves! Of course, we don't have money, we don't have stamps, we don't have troll gangs, we have never had confessing friends or slandering comrades. This is how we party. We will never have anything to do with giving, receiving, tenders, this and that. The nature of our party, the tradition of our party is not suitable for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe are a Party Founded on Battlefields\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Reminding that the Republican People's Party is the trust of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk, G\u00fcrsel Tekin concluded his speech with the following strong messages:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Republican People's Party will never betray the trust left to us by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk. Especially the \u2018closure story about the Republican People's Party\u2019 that has been talked about in recent days and circulated in some dirty media... Let alone closure, no one can stand in front of the Republican People's Party! We are a political party founded on battlefields. We are not a party where seven people come together and say \u2018let's go and form a party\u2019. Even if they criticize us, even if they insult us, we will continue to embrace them. Because Turkey needs this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After his speech, Tekin wished a holiday full of peace, democracy and tranquility for all of Turkey, especially for the Islamic geography, and congratulated the citizens one by one. The ceremony ended with intense applause and Eid greetings from the party members.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHP Istanbul Provincial Chairman G\u00fcrsel Tekin addressed the party members and the citizens gathered at the ceremony and delivered an enthusiastic speech in which he emphasized unity, solidarity and loyalty within the party.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":285998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[289],"class_list":{"0":"post-285997","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politika","8":"tag-manset"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":285999,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285997\/revisions\/285999"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
