CHP's motion for inquiry into 'frame-up' cases rejected by majority vote in Parliament

The General Assembly of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey convened under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker of Parliament Pervin Buldan. Among the regulations included in the meeting's agenda were discussions on a legislative proposal covering changes to asset peace practices, tax advantages for companies in the Istanbul Financial Center, and an increase in the installment period for Social Security Institution (SGK) debts to 72 months. Before the discussion of this package began, research motions submitted by political parties were addressed.

The CHP called for the initiation of a parliamentary inquiry into allegations that politics is being shaped through 'frame-up' cases. Additionally, the New Way Group requested an investigation into the problems faced by children under state protection. Both motions were rejected by the votes of AKP and MHP deputies, who hold the majority in the general assembly.

CHP Istanbul Deputy Suat Özçağdaş brought up the structural problems faced by young people under state protection, stating, "Our children are not safe enough in the triangle of home, school, and street. In an environment where even those who receive attention from their families have concerns about the future, children under state protection need much more support. There are serious deficiencies in providing a safe life for young people who leave the system at the age of 18." Özçağdaş argued that the five-year care requirement for public employment is a major obstacle in the future of these young people.

AKP Istanbul Deputy Şengül Karslı stated that young people in need of state protection cannot be made the subject of political strife, and noted that the state is fulfilling its responsibilities. Karslı stated that with the latest legal regulation, the application period for public employment has been extended to five years, the frequency of appointments has been increased, and premium support has been provided to the private sector.

Heated debates took place in the TBMM regarding the CHP's motion on 'frame-up' cases. IYI Party Bursa Deputy Selçuk Türkoğlu emphasized that a person who worked as a state official in the past is now facing espionage charges, and argued that these types of cases are driven by political motives rather than legal justifications.

AKP Tokat Deputy Mustafa Arslan pointed out that the alleged crime in the cases has a close relationship with state security, stating, "No service history, no political connection exempts a person from legal responsibility. In law, the principle of personal liability for crimes is essential, and judicial authorities carry out their duties based on evidence and suspicion."

During the debates, CHP Group Deputy Chairman Gökhan Günaydın, who opposed the words of AKP's Arslan, criticized the current government for now rejecting people who worked on behalf of the state in the past. CHP's Günaydın expressed his reaction by saying, "You took photos with Hüseyin Gün in 2010 and received briefings. Now you claim you do not know this person. This is inconsistency."

Arslan denied these allegations, arguing that his words were distorted and that making a file with an ongoing judicial process a subject of polemics in Parliament is against the law.

Finally, CHP's Gökhan Günaydın accused the government of denying the facts they have clearly presented, and the debates continued in this manner.

Both motions were ultimately rejected by the majority vote of the AKP and MHP and were removed from the agenda.
