Doğan Bekin announced his resignation request at a press conference in the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Re-Welfare Party Istanbul Deputy Doğan Bekin held a press conference at the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Bekin reminded that he brought up the book 'The Last Isparta' written by Deputy Chairman Suat Kılıç at his party's Presidential Council Meeting and read the section in the book that said 'The architect of February 28 is Erbakan and the engineer is Demirel'.

Bekin said, "These statements are a political recklessness and hypocrisy that will cause some to describe them as 'despicable'. The fact that the person who wrote these statements rejoined the Welfare Party on the 30th anniversary of February 28 and was appointed as the Deputy Chairman of the party is a great insult to the National Vision community, especially the late Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan. From the first day, I was one of those who opposed the appointment of these people here because I was in a great contradiction." "In various parts of his book 'The Last Isparta', Erbakan slanders our teacher and makes unacceptable statements. When he published the book '101 Reasons for Re-Prosperity', I met with him and asked him to show remorse and apologize in front of the press, but he said that he would definitely not make this apology."

"Even if it causes me pain, even if I don't want it..."

Bekin emphasized that he resigned from his administrative duties in accordance with the request of Fatih Erbakan, the Chairman of the Re-Welfare Party, and said, "I also informed him via WhatsApp message that I resigned from the Deputy Chairman and Central Executive Board Membership of the Re-Welfare Party. My petition has not been processed until today. However, I was speaking in the program about 'Prevention of religious and ethnic intolerance' as the Vice President and Board Member of the European Muslim Forum in the Siberian region of Russia. This incident was reported by these people who are in action with him." "The allegations of 'he is moving to another political party' were brought to the agenda through journalists. That person was caught red-handed. We witnessed the despicableness of those who should be crushed under my historic call. This is what happened. As of today, I am holding this press conference as the Istanbul MP of the Re-Welfare Party. I have resigned from the position of Deputy Chairman of the Re-Welfare Party and a member of the Central Board of Directors, even if it pains me," he said.

'I WILL NOT ACT ALONE ON THE RESIGNATION'

Bekin answered journalists' questions after his statements. When asked whether he would resign from his party, Bekin said, "I would not act alone regarding resignation. There are 117,500 voters who voted for me. They have a moral responsibility, there are responsibilities imposed on me by the organizations. We have friends, we have friends, I will not act in any way without taking the opinions of these brothers of ours who vote for us, work day and night, and even when they cannot bring a morsel of bread to their homes, they come and work in the election squares day and night, going from house to house. However our Chairman deems it appropriate, we can expel us from the party." "If he is suspended, we will follow the process and act accordingly. I have nothing to say right now," he said.
