Sinan Oğan, the ATA Alliance candidate in the 2023 presidential elections and who declared his support for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the second round of voting, answered Kubra Parr’s questions during a live broadcast on TV100.
“I’ve been dealing with the threats for a year now.”
Sinan Oğan said he had received threats after the election, saying: “I had to deal very violently with threats and lynchings. I have never felt such a lynching culture in Turkey during a presidential election. I have faced threats against my children and my family was placed under state protection for a year. “We were left behind in the situation. Didn’t FETO members and CHP supporters threaten us?” he said.
“We sent the news to Erdogan on the night of the first round of voting.”
“I sent a message to Erdogan on the night of the first election, saying: ‘Don’t try to get 50 points,'” Oğan said. “Because of this economic crisis, the country will be very weak in the first round and will have a small victory. Do you know what this means? Turkey with a debate. Did he win or didn’t he win? The important thing is that a strong government governs the country, I said.”
“What do you mean, not to complete it?” Ouan responded: “It was a very long journey that night. I am not saying that they are making such a move. I have warned them and said that my priority in this country is to establish a strong government.”
“Kirishdalokr said that if we win there will be nothing we can do.”
Responding to a question about why former CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu did not support him, Sinan Öğan said:
“I saved the country from a crisis. I had a big burden on my shoulders. If I had supported Kılıçdaroğlu that day, he would have lost by five points in the first round. As the People’s Alliance, he lost his parliamentary majority. “Nevertheless, if we had won the presidency, the CHP would have had a five-point lead over Erdoğan in the first round, but I would have been vice president, which I did not. Support him, we are governed by a presidential system, do you know this? How many crises did we go through because the constitutional booklet was thrown out in the early 2000s? Wasn’t it under the control of the People’s Alliance?
