Statement from AK Party Spokesperson Çelik about the fund investigation

AK Party Spokesperson Çelik made statements about the agenda on his social media account. In his statement, Çelik stated that the AK Party has always been on the side of the truth and against the wrong, and that this is the founding philosophy and reason for existence of the AK Party.

Çelik pointed out that every item and detail in the fund investigation was meticulously followed and evaluated by the authorized institutions in the party from the very first moment, upon the instructions of the AK Party Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and said, "Our main message when making these evaluations is the statement of our President and Chairman, 'whoever is responsible will be held accountable'. Within the framework of this principle, the fight against all kinds of wrongdoing, corruption, abuse and irregularities will be "uncompromised"."

"Those who do wrong will be held accountable before the law."

Emphasizing that the rights and laws of citizens negatively affected by this process, called the fund crisis, will be handled meticulously, Çelik said, "Under the instructions of our President, the comprehensive work of all our institutions, especially our Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, in full coordination will reveal all dimensions of the events, nothing will be left in the dark and the necessary action will be taken. If there is an allegation, it will be investigated. All irregularities will be revealed. Those who made mistakes will be held accountable before the law."

Underlining that there is no systemic risk to the financial system and the Turkish economy and that the fundamentals are strong, Çelik continued his words as follows:

"It is a problem that arises in a limited part of the capital markets, in a certain number of funds. While addressing this problem, as our President stated, we are carrying out comprehensive work to ensure that 'whatever measures are needed, including legal and administrative regulations, are implemented in order to avoid a similar problem.' All supervisory institutions are on duty. We will protect and strengthen the principles of transparency, auditing and accountability. We have full will to protect our nation's trust in every field. There are no compromises or exceptions while protecting our nation's trust." "And indecision is out of the question. The 'alphabet of our politics' in our AK Party is to fight against all kinds of wrongs to the end."
