Turhan Çömez’s statement on the 'newborn gang': 'We have documents, we will present them to the commission'

Speaking at a press conference in Parliament, İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez, who also made assessments regarding the 'Newborn Gang' case, stated that their application to intervene in the case was rejected by the court and that they would apply for a second time.

In his speech, Çömez noted, "We have striking documents regarding the process. We will provide all the documents we have to the Research Commission in our Parliament. After it is concluded through the commission, we will both share it with the public and present it to the court."

'THOSE SWORDS ARE DRAWN AGAINST TRAITORS AND ENEMIES WHO COVET THIS COUNTRY'

Criticizing the referral of some lieutenants to the High Disciplinary Board (YDK) following the National Defense University (MSÜ) Land Forces Academy Graduation and Flag Handover Ceremony, Çömez reminded that the research motions they submitted on this issue were rejected in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) General Assembly.

Stating that the lieutenants took the legal oath, Çömez remarked, "Those swords are not drawn against the nation, the government, or this country; they are drawn against traitors and enemies who covet this country."

'THOSE WHO WANT TO INITIATE A RECONCILIATION PROCESS MUST EXPLAIN WHAT THE CLOSURE PROCESS IS'

Upon a journalist asking about President Erdoğan's words that there is 'no disagreement with MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli', Çömez expressed the following:

States and countries are not governed this way. If the chairmen of two political parties that are partners and stakeholders in the government hold a meeting, they should appear before the media in return and make their statements. 'Erdoğan said this', 'Bahçeli said that', 'one's hand was far away while shaking hands, the other's was further back', 'one gave a message with music like this'; we cannot make political comments based on these. Those who want to initiate a reconciliation process must explain what the closure process is.

'WE WILL SUPPORT A RATIONAL, REALISTIC, AND GENUINE SOLUTION'

When reminded of the meeting held between opposition parties and the AK Party regarding the espionage regulation, Çömez stated that İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Buğra Kavuncu attended the meeting.

Çömez said that they are against the regulation they describe as 'influence agent' and that this regulation has been removed from the draft law regarding the judiciary.

Pointing out that there are already articles in the Turkish Penal Code regarding espionage, Çömez said, "We will support a rational, realistic, and genuine solution. We will evaluate these together with our party group and our Chairman. The first meeting has been held, and long-term meetings will be held in the coming days."
