AKP's Mücahit Birinci drew attention with his statements on social media. These remarks sparked discussions about Kemalism and Atatürkism.

Birinci claimed that Kemalism is a right-leaning anti-Inönü movement. With these statements, he questioned the historical role of Kemalism while emphasizing that Atatürk should be excluded from this debate.

These statements have deepened the discussions within the AKP. MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli's remarks about İmamoğlu did not receive enough coverage in the supportive media.

Bahçeli's statements have sparked debates in the ruling media. This situation highlights the tension between AKP and MHP.
