Imamoglu: Trial for 'Forged' Degree Postponed to July 6th

The trial of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu for the 'forged' degree has been postponed to July 6th. In his defense, Imamoglu accused the country's judiciary of lacking independence and transparency, claiming it is controlled by a single person. He also criticized state media, warning they will face consequences when the time comes. Imamoglu emphasized that his position in the hearts of the people is more important than any material possession and rejected the accusations against him, such as being an agent, having a forged degree, and terrorism.
