Hülya Terzioğlu has been appointed as the AKP Deputy Chair for Social Policies, a position previously held by Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya. The remarks in Terzioğlu's statement following the appointment were interpreted as a jab at Sayan Kaya.
Former Minister Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya had recently been in the spotlight over allegations regarding a fund in which she reportedly invested 163 million liras and earned 2.2 billion liras. The fact that Terzioğlu was brought in to replace Kaya in her party role during this period drew attention.
In her message, in which she thanked President and AKP Chair Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Hülya Terzioğlu emphasized the responsibility of the role she has undertaken.
I express my gratitude to our President and General Chair, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for appointing me to the position of AKP Deputy Chair for Social Policies. I pray to the Almighty that I may serve our noble nation in this duty, where the responsibility is equal to its honor, while keeping God's pleasure in mind.
The phrase "responsibility is equal to its honor" in Terzioğlu's message stood out as the most remarkable remark made following the change in party duties.
