In Kocaeli, MHP member Okan Karagöz shut down the live broadcast camera of the İzmit Municipality. This action drew a strong reaction from CHP member Mehmet Nazım Gençtürk.

Gençtürk stated that Karagöz was going to make a speech on Turkishness Day and that was why he shut the camera down. This situation ignited debates in the council.

Gençtürk criticized Karagöz's action, saying, 'When Devlet Bahçeli goes somewhere, the cameras probably shut down.' This raised allegations of political manipulation.

Additionally, Gençtürk highlighted the situation of 56 detained students in İzmit, emphasizing that these young people are our future.
