Turkish authorities have linked the shooting at the party’s offices to a security guard in a nearby building and a random event. Meral Axener to Constantinople.

The security department dismisses the scenario of the attack and reports that a security guard across from the building shot and killed the thieves who entered the premises. Aksener had previously commented that the Turkish president was in fact responsible for the attack. Earlier, Erdogan mentioned the politician by name: “Ms. Meral, when we say we will do something, we do it. Don’t make me mess with you! Follow my name. My name is Tayyip and my last name is Erdogan. Pay attention to the name Tayyip and the surname Erdogan.”

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu referred to the “perpetrator of the attack” in an afternoon tweet announcing his arrest in the case. But, according to Kathimerini’s correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis, it is now claimed that the shelling of Meral Aksener’s party offices in Istanbul was not politically motivated and that the bullets were fired by accident. they ended up on the first and third floors of Aksener’s party building.

The attack came a day after Aksener’s statement about the Turkish president.

“I’m not afraid, Mr. Redzep”

“A month and a half before the elections and after the threats of the President of the Republic. I shouldn’t call him that because presidents don’t talk like that. After the threats of Mr. Recep, we were subjected to a pre-planned armed attack. I say this because I also served as the Minister of the Interior,” was Meral Aksener’s first reaction after the executions.

“There has not yet been born a man capable of intimidating Meral Axener. May God punish me if I am afraid of someone other than God. I’m not afraid, Mr. Recep. Mr. Rejep, I appeal to you, there is nothing left in your reign that I would not experience. But these days will pass. On May 15, the sun will rise and this monstrous system, attacks, injustice, slander will disappear. Your nerves are out of order. 1.5 months left before vacation. Now you know how to leave. You prefer to yell at us instead of yelling at the slimes next to you. But you can’t run away.”

The incident was also condemned in a Twitter post by the mayor of Istanbul. Ekrem Imamoglu. “I send my best wishes to our friends and also emphasize that we expect those responsible to be held accountable as soon as possible,” Imamoglu said earlier.
