Dilek Kaya İmamoğlu has used consecutive meetings of the Family Solidarity Network (ADA) in Istanbul to warn of systemic instability in Turkey. The ADA, which represents relatives of officials detained during the March 19 operations, held its 47th and 48th meetings in Saraçhane.

During the 47th meeting, İmamoğlu warned that the country is on the verge of a “major societal collapse” caused by institutional erosion, deepening poverty, and inequality. She specifically cited the housing crisis for students and a lack of institutional oversight, calling for judicial reforms such as live-broadcasted court proceedings to ensure transparency.

In the subsequent 48th meeting, İmamoğlu expanded her critique to include increasing social insecurity and human rights violations. She highlighted violence in schools and criticized perceived attacks on women’s rights and personal privacy, specifically noting the media broadcasting of police raids. She argued that the country’s future is at risk unless state institutions respect legal standards and the will of voters.
