Striking allegations from YENİ Party Spokesperson Zeynel Emre regarding AKP's Çelik: Did he vacation with Arıkan, who is named in the fund investigation?

Speaking about the fund investigation on Turkey's agenda, Emre touched upon the AKP figures named in the investigation and made a striking allegation regarding AKP spokesperson Ömer Çelik.

Referring to Ertan Aydın, the architect of the AKP's Century of Turkey slogan, Emre said the following:

"We mentioned the operations. One of the names taken in is Ertan Aydın. A name who served as a member of parliament in the AK Party, a travel ban abroad was imposed on him. This person is the architect of the Century of Turkey idea. We see very clearly that what they understand by the Century of Turkey is to rob the citizens and fill their own pockets."

HE ADDRESSED AKP SPOKESPERSON ÖMER ÇELİK: "DID YOU VACATION IN BODRUM WITH Osman Arıkan Nacar?"

Emre directed questions to AKP Deputy Chairman Ömer Çelik regarding Osman Arıkan Nacar, whose name is mentioned within the scope of the fund investigation.

He asked whether he had vacationed with Nacar, one of the managers of the company named E-DATA, which is alleged to have obtained approximately 20 billion TL from the funds and fled abroad when the operations began:

"Who do people go on vacation with? They go with their family or a very close friend; you don't go on vacation or spend time with someone you just know casually. It appeared in a newspaper today: The news that a former bureaucrat went abroad with 20 billion TL. Who is this? Osman Arıkan Nacar, who previously applied for candidacy for parliament in the AKP for two terms. Where is his partner? In custody. Within the scope of this investigation. One of the three major partners of E-DATA technology.

A name who rose continuously during the current government period, served as deputy undersecretary, and whose brother served as provincial health director in Adana, a name intertwined with the government. I ask here, to Mr. Ömer Çelik: Did you or did you not vacation with this person in Bodrum a very short time ago? Did you return to Ankara together? What is the extent of your relationship with this person? What will you say about this work he has done? Since he is your close friend, it is said that he is abroad with 20 billion TL. We are waiting for the answer to this question from Mr. Çelik."

"WE WILL NOT LET IT GO"

Stating that they will follow the fund investigation, Emre stated that they will continue to share new information on the subject with the public:

"Our valuable citizens, this issue is one of our most fundamental issues. No matter where this business leads, we will never, ever let it go. We are working on it, we will hold another meeting with the relevant staff this week, and we will continue to share the information we are sure of with you."

"THE 2017 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BROUGHT ABOUT ALLIANCE POLITICS"

Responding to a question about the elections, Emre said the following:

"The current constitution brought about alliance politics. The 2017 constitutional amendment brought about the current alliance system in Turkey. As long as the current constitution is in force, alliance politics will also be on the agenda."

RESPONSE TO CEMİL TUGAY QUESTION: "HE MAY SWITCH"

When asked about the expectation that İzmir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Cemil Tugay would switch to the AKP on Wednesday, Emre said the following:

"Regarding Cemil Tugay; could he switch? He could. We are also seeing and hearing it from you. He has no communication with our chairman or us. Information is coming that he will join. He may switch."

'Osman Arıkan Nacar' NAME IN THE FUND SCANDAL

After it was revealed that Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, who "requested her pardon" from her duties in the AKP, earned 2.2 billion lira in the fund scandal, it was alleged that former bureaucrat and AKP parliamentary candidate Osman Arıkan Nacar earned 20 billion from the fund.

The three major partners of the firm are Osman Arıkan Nacar, Ali Göl, and İsmet Köksal. Within the scope of the fund investigation, partner Ali Göl was arrested. It was stated that Osman Arıkan Nacar, who has a 21.28 percent stake in the company, is abroad.

AKP BUREAUCRAT

Osman Arıkan Nacar, who is alleged to have earned 20 billion lira in the fund fraud, is one of the important bureaucrats of the AKP government...

Nacar, who served as the Head of the Medical Device Department of the Ministry of Health's Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, General Manager of Emergency Health Services, and President of the Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency, later served as Deputy Undersecretary of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.

CANDIDATE FROM AKP TWICE

While he was a bureaucrat, Nacar became a candidate in the 2015 elections but was not included in the list. When he returned to the bureaucracy, he sat in the Deputy Undersecretary seat. He resigned again in the June 24, 2018 elections and applied for candidacy from the AKP again, but he could not become a candidate again.

Nacar's older brother, Halil Nacar, was appointed as the Adana Provincial Health Director in 2020. In August, Halil Nacar's term of office was extended for another 3 years.

His other older brother, Cabir Nacar, is the owner of a company operating in the construction sector in Adana.
