Birinci argued that the dismissal of Oktay Saral should be re-evaluated. Describing Saral's removal as a "clear mistake," Birinci warned that the decision could have serious political consequences, especially following the recent fund controversies.
Emphasizing that this is not a simple matter, Mücahit Birinci stated that Saral's criticisms should not be viewed merely as a personal outburst. The AKP member Birinci expressed that Saral represents the party's past, its political ideals, and the voice of its base.
"A profound issue that could carry a political cost"
Drawing attention to the potential political consequences of the decision regarding Oktay Saral's dismissal, Birinci made the following remarks:
"While there may be valid reasons, in my opinion, the dismissal of Mr. Oktay Saral is a clear mistake.
It is my personal opinion that this issue, following the fund controversies, is a profound matter that could cause serious damage and for which a political price could be paid.
It is not a simple matter."
"On Saral's side of the scale, there is an issue weighing tons"
Highlighting the importance of Saral to the political base, Birinci argued that the issue should not be seen merely as the dismissal of one individual.
Birinci stated that Saral's criticisms are linked to the party's past, political ideals, and the expectations of its base, saying:
"Oktay Saral's criticism is the voice of our past, our ideals, and our base.
When you look at the two sides of the scale, although Mr. Oktay Saral's side may look like just Oktay Saral from the outside, it is actually the weighing of an issue that carries tons of weight."
A striking proposal from Mücahit Birinci: "He should be given a suitable ministry"
At the end of his statement, Birinci argued that the decision to dismiss Oktay Saral should be reversed and that Saral should be rewarded with a ministry.
Suggesting that the decision stemmed from administrators missing the "temperature difference" between developments inside and outside the country, Birinci expressed his proposal with these words:
"It is again my personal opinion that what should be done is to abandon this situation, which stems from our administrators missing the temperature difference between the outside and the inside, and to reward Mr. Oktay Saral by giving him a ministry deemed appropriate."
