First reaction from Murat Emir following compensation ruling: 'We have been convicted'

CHP Group Deputy Chairman Murat Emir reacted to the ruling ordering him and CHP Chairman Özgür Özel to pay 150,000 Turkish Lira each in compensation in a lawsuit filed over their remarks regarding Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Akın Gürlek.

Making a statement on social media, Emir used the following expressions:

Because of our documented revelations regarding Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor Akın Gürlek, we have been 'convicted' to pay compensation along with our Chairman Özgür Özel.

What is the justification? On June 17, 2025

To ask with documents the reason for the luxury vehicle provided to the prosecutor by the IMM

To ask with documents the reason for the villa overlooking the Bosphorus, that luxury pool, the ostentation, and this special treatment

To ask the reason for visiting a yacht fair during working hours

The mentality that yesterday allocated armored vehicles to the likes of Zekeriya Öz and launched operations against the army has changed its name today, and now an operation is being launched against democracy.

However, this time we will not allow them to make Turkey pay the same price!

Keep your compensation; the truth is ours, and this country will continue to learn the truth!
