Highlights from Akalın’s statement are as follows:

“The fact that this political movement is governed with inconsistent and emotional decisions, disregarding its acquis, memory and mind, is the biggest reason for this great and heavy defeat we are facing.

I am a historical witness and aware of the prices paid and the sacrifices made by our comrades who contributed to this political movement at any point in our political struggle, who were treated unfairly but still fought tirelessly.

“We are coming to deliver their rights, to reward them for their efforts, and to say goodbye to those we could not.”
