What is your hurry, you have four more years ahead of you. there is,” he said. Bicakli said, “As a society, they are ready to take ownership by investing in the institutions of the country.”

But you come out and say, 'El-Sen members sabotaged'. Here I claim that; The saboteur is Kıb-Tek's General Manager and management. Let the police go and intervene," he said.

ERHÜRMAN: "THEY DID NOT PUT 'STONE ON STONE' AT KIB-TEK"

CTP Chairman Tufan Erhürman, who took the floor after Bıçaklı, said, “We have a deputy friend inside the podium. Apart from that, there are those who did not invest a penny in KIB-TEK in the history of this country, and those who did not put one stone on another in KIB-TEK."

Pointing to the "government", Erhürman said, "There are those inside, who signed a protocol with El-Sen in 2019 and promised 'We will buy a power plant in this country,' and denounced each other saying, 'What should we do, those before us didn't buy it' after four years? used.

Emphasizing that the people were forced to buy electricity from the south as a result of this, Erhürman said, “Today, they held an extraordinary Assembly meeting regarding the draft law, which was not even urgent. Mr. Üstel agreed, there is one year until the contract expires, and he has the right to extend it for three years. Therefore, within four years, investment can be planned and energy policy can be made with the people of this country. However, inside there are those who do not believe in this people, who sit on the couch but do not claim to rule this country. Inside; There are those who say 'it's almost time, it's going'," he said.

“AGAIN, THEY ATTENDED TO ANNOUNCING EVERYONE EXCEPT THEM 'ROMANTIC'”

Arguing that the government is in a 'panic' mood, Erhürman said, "When these friends cannot find a reasonable justification for what they want to do, they declare everyone else as 'Greek people' except themselves."
