Resignation Decision and Statement

AK Party Deputy Chairman Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya announced her resignation to the public via her social media account, asking to be excused from her duties following the fund allegations in the public sphere.

Harsh Reaction from Mahmut Arıkan

Felicity Party Chairman Mahmut Arıkan made harsh criticisms on his social media account following the resignation, stating that the nation's resources were used unfairly and that what happened could not be brushed aside.

In his statement, Arıkan emphasized that those who grew their own funds and added to their fortunes while the portions on the nation's tables shrank must be held accountable for their actions.

Call for Comprehensive Investigation

Arguing that the current situation is one of the biggest swindles of the century, Mahmut Arıkan stated that the situation cannot be brushed aside with a simple request to be excused from office and cannot be covered up.

He noted that politicians, members of the media, advisors, bureaucrats, and managers of the CMB (SPK) and BRSA (BDDK) should be effectively investigated.

Examination of Assets

It was conveyed that the asset declarations and acquisitions of ministers, deputy ministers, advisors, and all high-level executives exercising authority in the public sector should be meticulously scrutinized.

Emphasis on Being Held Accountable Before the Judiciary

Underscoring that anyone found to have an unexplained increase in assets must account for it before the judiciary, Arıkan reminded that the law is a mechanism that must be operated equally for everyone.
