Partner: Indeed
Then its mayor Istanbul spoke with Meral Aksener, the president of the Good Party.
Aksener: Tell me what does this mean?
Imamoglou: Essentially it is a ban of 2 years 7 months and 15 months.
Aksener: So the judge sentenced you?
Imamoglou: Indeed. 2 years 7 months and 15 days. Bye Mr. Mayor!
Aksener: Come here… come here now we begin… new beginning
Imamoglou: Yes my sister, be well, now we start. Thanks. Let’s say that the order given by the people cannot be taken by a handful of people.
