TheAKP's Bülent Arınç’hi s statementss:

"I found the speech and behavior of a deputy following his joining our party at our last group meeting to be extremely strange; I felt embarrassed on my own behalf. In the past, people used the word 'tabasbus' (fawning/sycophancy) for such situations.Cemil Meriç had a very beautiful sayingon this subject.“No favoris worth humiliating sycophancy.”GTo make it more understandable for our day, we can say that human dignity and personality are aboveall kinds of material and moralinterests. We can say that.

Unfortunately, such actions arerepeated from time to time by others as well, and these lower the level of politicsditis eroding. It also destroys the reputation of the politician in the eyes of the nation.When I was the Speaker of the Parliament, in thetrustworthy institutions survey, the TBMMranked seventh. With the effortswe made and the stance we displayed, we moved it higher. The reputation of the Parliament is the reputation of the deputies; and the reputation of the deputies is the reputation of the political institution. We mustprotectNo one has the right totarnish it. Thank God, in our first ten years, we brought great prestige to our parliament andto politics.Thesebehaviorsshow that we could regress even further and that the political institution could lose its standing through the actions of unqualified individuals.I expect all members of parliament to avoid such behaviorsand to act with dignity.I ask them to avoidsuchactions.

My perspective onparliamentarytransfers is as follows. First, these individuals have adebt to their ownvoters. This debt they must payit. Furthermore, there is also the issue of the rights of the people involved. First and foremost, they must seek reconciliationwith their voters. Secondly, they must leave behind their old habits in the party they have joined and perform work that is qualitatively beneficial to the public and their party."
