IYI Party Istanbul Deputy Prof. In a television program he attended, Dr. Ümit Özdağ accused Buğra Kavuncu, Istanbul Provincial Chairman of the Good Party, of being a FETO member.
Stating that Buğra Kavuncu is the nephew of FETOist Enver Altaylı, Ümit Özdağ said:
* He was the vice president of the Kazakh Turkish businessmen association, which is FETÖ’s largest non-governmental organization abroad.
* I say very clearly, if you are the vice president of the non-governmental organization, the president before and after it is a FETO member, by the way, if you do not have one positive and negative statement about FETÖ over the years, if your social media accounts are empty, this means it has been shaped.
* It is against the normal course of life. Since I thought this was not true, I made this warning before coming to the party and repeated it.
* Meral Hanım said ‘There is no information in the state’, and I am saying that the state does not share every information. There is also clear information. When we look at this information, we know that FETÖ does not bring anybody other than its own staff within its structure. I have been working on terrorism and security for years, knowing very well what he is saying.
EXPLANATION FROM KAVUNCU
Buğra Kavuncu, who was connected to the broadcast by phone after Özdağ’s statements, said, “I will file a criminal complaint tomorrow to the public prosecutor’s office. It’s about the person who slandered me. He became a party in the Istanbul congress, since he had such a concern for 3 years, we settled all our rights before the law. “We have no choice but to rely on justice and law in this country.”
Following this discussion, 39 district leaders in Istanbul went to the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of IYI Party on a support visit to Kavuncu.
