Süleyman Salğucak, who reacted to the soldiers accused of „carrying voters“ in Şırnak by saying, „Tell me, where are you from?“ and became a trending topic, stated: „The people of Şırnak have won Şırnak.“ He said, „They simply stole the will of the people.“
The will of the people was usurped by the votes of thousands of soldiers and police officers in the center of Şırnak. The moments when soldiers and police officers were brought together for a joint vote were also reflected in the images. The reaction of the soldiers and police officers in front of Major General Ömer Keçeciğil’s elementary and secondary school left its mark on that day. Süleyman Salğucak (61) from Şırnak asked the soldiers and police officers waiting in line in front of the school, „Tell me, where are you from?“ He reacted with his words. The scenes in question were also a summary of the reactions of mobile voters.
“ They have stolen the will of the people.“
Speaking to the Mezopotamya Agency (MA), Salğucak summarized the events on election day as „a situation worse than a trustee.“ Salğucak said, „They brought thousands of soldiers from places like Muğla, Yozgat, and İzmir. They brought these soldiers by force. It was also a sin. They were devastated. They brought dozens of buses with soldiers here with money.“ People. Just to take Şırnak away from us. They did not win Şırnak. „The people of Şırnak have won Şırnak. They only stole the will of the people,“ he said.
Salğucak explained that as a person from Şırnak, he could not remain without a reaction to the actions and said, „The people of Şırnak will not accept this. The people of Şırnak voted for themselves. But they appointed trustees in accordance with the will of the people.“ They did it so that the Kurdish representatives did not sit in this place. Recently, it was very difficult for me. I saw so many buses. „They brought it from somewhere. The license plates of all vehicles were visible.“ They stole the will of the people with the money of the people,“ he said.
„Let the elections be renewed“
Salğucak explained that he wanted to know where the soldiers came from by asking, „Tell me, where are you from?“ and said, „They couldn’t speak out of fear. They didn’t talk because they were afraid of those who brought them,“ not because they were afraid of me.
Salğucak continued as follows: „The people of Şırnak showed a very strong stance, but they did something worse than acting as trustees against the will of the people. I thank our people. From now on, we will continue our efforts. We will do our best. But elections must be held again in Şırnak.“
