Özlem Çerçioğlu's transition to AKP has sparked significant discussion. Mayor Ömer Günel claimed that the Çerçioğlu family received 522 million lira in rent.

Günel stated that zoning rights were unlawfully transferred to the Çerçioğlu family. This situation has led to allegations of public harm and sparked debates.

The Kuşadası Municipality announced that the zoning regulations were made contrary to the principle of equality and that they would file a criminal complaint.

The approval of these zoning plans just two days before Çerçioğlu's transition to AKP has become a political topic of discussion.

There has been no statement from the Çerçioğlu camp yet, but legal processes are expected to be initiated.
