"Standing by our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and being devoted to our cause has always been a source of pride for us.

In our blessed journey that began in 2001, after serving as AK Party Founding District Chair, Member of Parliament, Chair of the TBMM Justice Commission, and AK Party Parliamentary Group Deputy Chair, being entrusted with the Ministry of Justice by our President on June 4, 2023, further increased our responsibility to serve our nation and our state.

During our 23 years of government, we have had the honor of supporting the reforms carried out under the leadership of our President to ensure our country achieves a high-standard democracy and to strengthen the principle of the Rule of Law. 

From now on, we will continue to sweat for our country and our nation, and to work for the Century of Turkey with the same excitement as on the first day.

I wish Mr. Akın Gürlek, who has been appointed as Minister of Justice by the discretion of our President, great success in his new role."

Standing by our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and being devoted to our cause has always been a source of pride for us.

In our blessed journey that began in 2001, after serving as AK Party Founding District Chair, Member of Parliament, Chair of the TBMM Justice Commission, and AK Party Parliamentary Group…
