News Center ISTANBUL (Medyascope) – Onur Akın, who previously made songs for CHP election campaigns, addressed Kılıçdaroğlu saying, "Among many songs I made for the party, including those mentioning your name, I want them not to be used by you and your administration, which I do not consider legitimate, and to be removed from your digital platforms as well. Enough, gentlemen, do not harm this country! I also inform you that I will take legal action if the use of my songs continues." Onur Akın addressed Kılıçdaroğlu: "I want the songs I made for CHP that mention your name not to be used" Artist Onur Akın, in a statement directed at CHP's appointed chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, said, "I am unfortunately saddened by the point you have reached," and requested that the songs he prepared for CHP that mention Kılıçdaroğlu's name not be used. Akın announced that he would take legal action if the use continues. "I am unfortunately saddened by the point you have reached" Artist Onur Akın made a statement on X account directed at CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. Akın used the following expressions: "Dear Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and the public… In 2009, when you were the CHP group leader, we admired you for your calm, confident, honest stance on TV, based on documents, which made your AKP rivals sweat, forced them to resign, and exposed the government's corruption, giving hope to opposition groups. As an artist who has always been sensitive to the problems of the people, involved in every labor, peace, democracy, and freedom-oriented activism and platform, and composed songs in this line, you excited and motivated me. The sense of artistic responsibility I felt made me compose the Kılıçdaroğlu anthem at 4 a.m. This song, which changed the perception of election songs in political parties and started the tradition of zero (new) compositions that increased quality, was something I do not regret making under the conditions of that day… With the enlightened responsibility I feel, if I need to put my hand under the stone for my country, my party, and my people, I have always done so and will do so again. However, at this point, due to 13 election defeats, political mistakes, duels that are no longer held for some reason, undisclosed documents, and your failures, you have driven millions of leftists, social democrats, secularists, Atatürk supporters, and republican masses into despair and pessimism again… This rightly caused you to lose the party leadership democratically to the young, hardworking, and promising candidate Mr. Özgür Özel and our presidential candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu at the elective congress, and the party historically surged and became the first party in the first election. What I expected from you, as a former chairman, was to congratulate, shake hands with, and celebrate this young and successful team for the success of your party. It was to support them by standing beside them like other former chairmen when necessary. But I am unfortunately saddened by the point you have reached. You put the biggest obstacle on the party, which became Turkey's first and is moving towards power, by complying with the annulment decision set by the government and higher minds. As Pir Sultan said, "Only a single rose from a friend wounds me." It did not work, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, it was not fitting. Those who applaud you are, believe me, in a historic mistake, and what you did will not be forgotten. With these motives, among many songs I made for the party, I want the songs mentioning your name not to be used by you and your administration, which I do not consider legitimate, and to be removed from your digital platforms. Enough, gentlemen, do not harm this country! I also inform you that I will take legal action if the use of my songs continues.
