  1. This is clearly about silencing the opposition. Thanks for giving the option party a Chance to speak. sadly most of the Western media is giving only the government's side's view and is trying to legitimate the investigation against the mayor.

  2. Its clearly a political motives by Erdogan who is using his power to arrest opposition leader ….erdogan dictatorial era should end

  3. one-man regime, Mr. Erdogan is dragging the country into disaster. Mr Ekrem Mayor became the Mayor of Istanbul with 4.5 million Istanbul votes. The will of the people is being usurped.

  4. We are with Imamoglu, he is our president.
    The whole world knows Erdogan's dirty jobs. He has to pack his bags and go to America where his money is.
    Maybe Trump already orginised his place in PENNSYLVANIA.

  5. Erdogan is not the right person to lead Turkiye….. He is a thief, (stole billions of dollars) He does not have a university diploma to become the president!
