What is being said about Melih Gökçek in the AKP has leaked from the lobbies!

The investigation into former Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Melih Gökçek is also being discussed in AKP lobbies. Party sources state that corruption allegations should be investigated comprehensively and that those found responsible must be held accountable regardless of their political positions.

According to a report by Merve Kılıç from Cumhuriyet, AKP sources indicate that proximity to the government or political roles held in the past should not pose an obstacle to the investigation of corruption allegations.

'POLITICAL AFFILIATION' EMPHASIS FROM AKP SOURCES

Party sources argue that a different stance should not be taken in the fight against corruption based on individuals' political circles or their relationships with the government. In this context, it is stated that sanctions to be applied to individuals determined to have engaged in corruption should be independent of political affiliation.

It is noted that the same approach should apply to the investigation into Gökçek. Sources express that having served on behalf of the government in the past should not provide any protection regarding corruption allegations against him.

'SANCTIONS REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL POSITION'

In AKP lobbies, the expectation regarding Gökçek is shaped by the uncovering of corruption allegations and the identification of those responsible as a result of the investigation.

According to the assessment of party sources, merely investigating the allegations should not be considered sufficient. It is emphasized that individuals found to have committed corruption must face sanctions regardless of their political positions.

THE FATE OF THE GÖKÇEK FILES IS A MATTER OF CURIOSITY

On the other hand, at a time when operations against opposition municipalities are gaining momentum, the fate of the multi-billion lira corruption files regarding the Gökçek era, which the Mansur Yavaş administration submitted previously and just the other day, has come back to the agenda.

It is a matter of curiosity whether the files prepared regarding Gökçek, who governed Ankara in the past, will become the subject of an investigation after all these years.
