Ekrem İmamoğlu is a “project.” Those who fail to understand this today will certainly understand it tomorrow and be in misery. They will be in misery because of the love they have for their country. Those who think everything that is written here is an election issue will be in misery.

He feeds not on the spirit of Turkey but from the power of those trying to batter Turkey. He is the extra, the hitman of the Istanbul scenario they protected and kept hidden until now, who they presented as a candidate and whose campaign they are running.

He is not of the Republican People’s Party (CHP). He is not a CHP candidate. He is a Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) candidate. He is a project designed by those that used FETÖ to cause trouble for Turkey. He is the project of those that fusilladed people on July 15, 2016.

His personality profile, behavioral pattern, voice tone, discourse, hypocrisy, shamelessness, dishonesty, arrogance…

His personality profile, behaviors, voice tone, discourse, hypocrisy, shamelessness, professionalism in deception and lying, his ability to easily maneuver, impersonate all kinds of personalities, his claims, aggressiveness, his falling apart when he goes off script, his lack of own words, his lack of specific gravity, they are all the product of a project, a very good operation.

Never before have I seen someone able to tell a lie with the same seriousness as the truth. He is a complete professional. He lists his lies, one after the other, looking people in the eye or on television, without hesitating at all “What will people say?”

As you try to figure out which of his statements are true and which are lies, you cannot catch a clue from any of his facial expressions. He can openly reject even something millions know to be true by saying, “no, it is not like that.”

This is shamelessness, insolence, pride, arrogance – it is a true example of destruction in Turkish politics.

He is under international protection. He receives support from the U.S., EU countries, their extensions in Turkey. It is no coincidence that to date, they stood as an alliance behind whoever was released on the ground against Turkey, against our country’s great march, against its rise.

The same groups that supported FETÖ on July 15, that still following in that path today, that are trying to take revenge from Turkey, have been positioned behind İmamoğlu today, regardless of their political identities. The real multinational project is not İmamoğlu but this alliance, the dangerous wave approaching Turkey through this alliance.

He goes to Europe, to Greece, to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), he makes completely opposing statements against Turkey’s stances – even with respect to the S-400s. Beyond the capacity of a mayor, he repeats his masters’ words. Our nation, our country is warned through him. This is the real multinational project. He is simply a puppet.

He is being protected within too – by pro-tutelage circles, power circles, capital circles. FETÖ files are being kept hidden. Corruption cases are being kept hidden. The FETÖ investigations on companies he is a partner are being negated, with those companies justified by a secret hand.

İmamoğlu has been on bad terms with the same state institutions, the same groups and organizations FETÖ has identified as enemies in this country. He has identified as friend and foe the same people FETÖ has identified as friend and foe, and acted accordingly. He showed his true colors when he assumed the title Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality mayor for a very short period through theft.

He tried to copy the municipality’s data as soon as he came. Had he succeeded, where was he going to send this data? He was going to send it to the same country that FETÖ sent the state’s cosmic information, intelligence. He was going to send it to the same intelligence network to which FETÖ is connected. He was going to provide materials for the cases in the U.S.

This is not an election issue. It is not a municipality issue. It is not about who will become Istanbul’s mayor. This is not a competition between Binali Yıldırım and İmamoğlu. This is the staging of the Istanbul leg of the new multinational operation against Turkey. It is an operation aimed at abusing national sentiments, religious sentiments, patriotism sentiments to weaken this country’s national resistance.

A multinational project has mobilized again after FETÖ and focused on Istanbul. It is the attempt of those who failed to take over Istanbul on July 15 opening Istanbul to debate for a second time, to take over Istanbul for a second time. Istanbul is the first leg of the great project, which will be followed by the rest of Turkey.

He is going to be made to win the election with the support of a vast coalition within and outside, and Istanbul will be handed over to FETÖ – this is the plan. This man, who is playing with Turkey’s nerve endings, is part of an extremely dangerous game. Just as FETÖ is an outside intervention agent, he too is an intervention agent.

His campaign is in no way local. Because he himself is not local. He is a means to go to a showdown with Turkey, a bullet to be shot at Turkey. They are trying to stab you in the heart by fooling you with democracy, with sweet words, with “Everything is going to be just fine” fairytales. Wake up.

This is not a Justice and Development Party (AK Party)-CHP issue. This is not about an internal political identity or taking sides either. This is the fight of the local and the one in the multinational front. This is the fight between Turkey’s resistance and the outside intervention front. Those who are unable to comprehend this today will certainly see it and be in misery tomorrow. They will be in misery for this country, for our nation, for our Turkey.

This man, who has been presented to you in the name of a showdown with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is actually a means to go to a showdown with Turkey. He is the hitman of the opposite side of the Aegean, the west of the Thrace in Istanbul’s 566-year fight.

Whether he is elected or not, he will not be void of the national security aspect. Sooner or later, he will be in Pennsylvania. He must have already made preparations in this direction anyway.

The following questions require answers:

• Who presented him as candidate, who imposed him on the CHP as candidate?

• Who kept him out of sight and protected him, prepared him for today?

• Why was he not touched after July 15? What was his role in that attack?

• Why was the FETÖ case, investigation not revealed, why was it kept hidden, who hid it?

• Why and by whom were the corruptions in Beylikdüzü, the corruption cases, his loutish behavior, incidents where he raided construction sites and beat people have been suppressed?

• Why was there no focus on the international support he received, his standing behind the anti-Turkey groups, those who attack our country being among that support? Why have such discussions been kept off the agenda?

• What kind of an Istanbul debate was started through İmamoğlu? Why was the history, the political dimension of this debate not pursued? Through what PR operations and through whose direction were such suspicions suppressed?

• Why did certain conservative circles side with him? Who gave this instruction? What pushed them to this front? Is it simply resentment of Erdoğan or multinational connections?

• Why do İmamoğlu and those behind him make no statement in support of Turkey’s interests? Why do they not take a stance toward the military activity in the East Mediterranean, Cyprus, and the Aegean? Why are they quiet about Turkey’s siege? Or are they also the inside partners of that great project?

• So what is İmamoğlu doing here? How is a man like him going to come to lead Istanbul? How will Istanbul be handed over to a man who has no respect to the state, no respect to the people, who is on the other side in Turkey’s historic fight? Why did the Constantinople discussion start again with his name?

We are going to continue this discussion without cessation, whether he is elected or not. A threat beyond the elections is in question and we are not going to ignore it. We are going to continue the same fight against İmamoğlu and those behind him, just as we are fighting for Turkey.

Because we are on the “Turkey axis.” This is the highest political identity for our country. If they are coming to our country with historical codes, we are going to block them with historical claims.

We will continue after the elections.
