Şahan continued his statement with the following statements:
"In the March 31 elections, we set out with the dream of a parliament in which everyone could find an equal place in the management of this city with their own voice and identity. We paid the price for this dream together. Trustees were appointed instead of the elected ones, and we were arrested. I wholeheartedly salute the honorable stance of my DEM Party companions, who, despite all the pressures, stood by the promise we made to each other, the will of the people of Istanbul, and the responsibility to govern together. Whether we sit in the same rows or in separate rows, we will continue to protect a common future with our differences. We are in Istanbul with the Türkiye Alliance." I believe that the path we have opened will extend to the peace of this country, from the parliaments to the neighborhoods, from the neighborhoods to the whole of Turkey.
Şahan concluded his words by saying, "This country is ours. We will build the future together."
