Speaking to journalist Nevzat Çiçek before, Doğan Bekin said, regarding the resignation allegations, "While I was resigning from my administrative duties, I also wanted to resign from being a member of parliament, but I did not resign from being a member of parliament upon the request of the people with whom we have been conducting politics on this issue for a long time."

Regarding the allegations that he will join the AKP, Bekin also said, "I have received messages from many parties and friends. I have not decided how and where I will pursue politics. I will make a statement on Tuesday or Wednesday."

Bekin, who made a new statement on his social media account, said:

"I would like to clearly state here that the fabricated (unfounded) news and statements about me that were published in print and social media during my time abroad, and that were tried to be based on me, have nothing to do with me, closely or remotely. I will reveal the curious facts with the detailed press statement I will make in the Turkish Grand National Assembly tomorrow at 14.00."
