Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu found the call from MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli important. Bahçeli stated that the judicial process regarding İmamoğlu should be expedited.

In his statement, İmamoğlu said, "The strong reaction of our nation against this intervention in democracy is a rightful cry against the increasing undemocratic practices in our country."

Following Bahçeli's statements, İmamoğlu remarked, "It is President Erdoğan who prefers crisis, chaos, and disorder."

İmamoğlu emphasized that the judicial process must proceed fairly, stating, "Turkey has serious issues regarding economy, security, and justice."

Finally, İmamoğlu concluded, "We will fight to achieve a strong, prosperous, and just Turkey."
