Minister of Family and Social Services Göktaş calls for "resignation" to Özlale from the New Party

Göktaş answered journalists' questions at the Turkish Grand National Assembly, where he came within the scope of the "minister on duty" practice.

When a journalist asked about New Party Izmir Deputy Özlale's allegations against him regarding the fund investigation, Göktaş said, "These are not allegations, but lies and slander." He responded.

Emphasizing that "There is no action taken on behalf of me, my father, or any member of my family," Göktaş said, "We are tired of this kind of slander, lie and mud politics. We expect them to get their act together. Nobody has the right to wear people out over the similarity of names." he said.

Göktaş pointed out that the person in Özlale's claim was registered with the population of Bartın, while her father was registered with the population of Konya, and said, "I shared the last two numbers of the Turkish ID number. I wish the opposition had been a little smarter and investigated them. I say 'shame' to them, I curse them. There is no politics like this. I absolutely do not accept being worn down on people and families, and I invite him to resign immediately." he said.

Göktaş reiterated that his father had nothing to do with the question and said:

"There are 500 thousand people in Türkiye with the surname Özdemir. There are perhaps 10 thousand to 20 thousand people named 'Hasan'. However, I will never allow my father's name to be damaged and us to be damaged. No one should have any doubt that I will hold him accountable before the law. I absolutely condemn it. Such politics cannot be done, I will file a lawsuit. If he is a human being, he knows what to do, he should leave his duty."
