MHP Deputy Chair İsmail Özdemir said Sedat Peker will soon return to Türkiye. Türkiye had requested Peker's extradition from the United Arab Emirates in February 2022 after an arrest warrant was issued for him, but he had not been extradited.
Özdemir, quoting an X user's post hoping for Peker's return, recalled that MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli had also called Peker "one of our ülkücüs" and said, "God willing, he and his family will soon rejoin our homeland." Peker had left Türkiye in November 2019 and is in the United Arab Emirates after Montenegro and North Macedonia. An organized crime investigation had been launched against Peker on 9 April 2021.
