Why It Matters
Political debates continue over a fund scandal that has come to the fore in Türkiye.
Chief Advisor to the President Oktay Saral made a remarkable evaluation about the fund scandal.
Saral stated that relevant public institutions should be more active during the investigation process and the public should be informed regularly.
"THE MYTH IS BEING LEAVED UNDER SUSPICION"
Saral's statement from his X account is as follows:
"Statements that will dilute the process related to the fund crisis, confuse minds and lead the markets to uncertainty should be stopped. In such a serious process, everyone should fulfill their responsibilities and stay away from statements that will damage the public's trust."
One side is trying to put our National Intelligence Organization under suspicion by linking the issue to the "foreign powers" discourse. The other side is trying to put the quarter-century-old AK Party organization and its millions of members on the same level with the alleged mistakes made by a few people. This approach is neither fair nor compatible with political reality.
AK Party is a major political movement in which millions of people work. If there is anyone who acts with malicious intent and pursues personal gain within this great structure, our President will demonstrate the necessary will, as he has done so far.
Let institutions do their job. Let law, control and state mechanisms do their job. No one should replace the investigation and make a judgment; "No one should use the process for their own political purposes."
"WARNING" TO THE MINISTRY
"However, the process must be carried out transparently. Our relevant official institutions and bureaucrats, especially our Ministry of Treasury and Finance, should be more active in this process and inform the public regularly and clearly. The most basic condition of economic confidence is the elimination of uncertainty.
It is unacceptable that official statements are delayed, an information gap is created, and this gap is left to political opportunists who declare themselves as saviors by saying "If I were in power, I would solve it."
Wherever the process goes, whoever it reaches out to; No one should have any doubt that our state will do what is necessary. Because the issue is not just a political debate; It is a matter of citizens' trust in the state, economy, markets and justice!”
