President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that Beykoz Deputy Mayor Özlem Vural Gürzel has joined the AK Party. This significant development took place during the party's 24th anniversary celebration.

In his speech, Erdoğan stated, "We have grown with our nation, and we will continue to greet each day with new hope."

Erdoğan also criticized CHP leader Özgür Özel sharply, stating that the opposition is stuck in a whirlpool of conflict, chaos, and crisis.

He emphasized, "Our brotherhood has the power to thwart any kind of plot. We are fighting for a Turkey without terrorism," he said.

Finally, he highlighted that Gürzel's participation would further strengthen the party and that they would continue their journey with new members.
