The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office carried out detention and arrest proceedings within the scope of an investigation regarding transactions in the capital market. Economic authorities have evaluated that these developments will not pose a risk to the financial system.
The statement included the following statements:
"As it is known, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has made many detentions and arrests within the scope of its investigation into transactions in the capital market. Economic authorities have evaluated the developments as not involving any risk that occurred in a limited part of the fund market and spread to our financial system. It was emphasized that the legal process against people who are considered to be involved in market-distorting transactions continues, and that no action will be taken against people and companies that are not related to these activities.
The financial stability committee announced that the necessary measures, especially the liquidity needed by the market, were taken to prevent the developments from having a negative impact on the financial system and the real economy.
Our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his statement after the cabinet meeting held on September 28, 2026, stated that the necessary investigations were carried out regarding the fund crisis and emphasized that the necessary work was being done to prevent a similar problem from occurring again. He said that whoever lays his hands on the rights, property and law of the nation, whether through market manipulation, stock market games or blatant corruption as in the municipalities, will find us and the state against him, saying that what is at stake is the economic security and welfare of the country, not the slightest in this. He stated with determination that there would be no hesitation.
The same determination was emphasized in the statement made by President Erdoğan after the meeting with the relevant economic institutions today (September 29, 2026); It was stated that "we have no business with those who seize the property of the state and the nation, our government is in control of its agenda, we have taken important decisions and we are addressing the issue with all our institutions."
In the face of these developments, two issues stand out. The first is to maintain the stability of financial markets, and the second is to hold accountable those who engage in market-distorting transactions before the law. Another issue is to take the necessary precautions to prevent victimized investors, especially small investors, from encountering such a situation.
The statements made are within a framework that takes these into consideration.
This being the case, those who want to undermine Türkiye's peace are at work at a time when Türkiye is taking the lead and gaining momentum in national unity and integration in economy, diplomacy, politics and most importantly, on the path to a "terrorism-free Turkey".
The effort to sabotage a climate in which confidence in the Turkish economy has increased and to turn these developments into a campaign to wear down the government, especially President Erdoğan, cannot go unnoticed.
The attack process accelerated with Mr. Erdoğan's speech at the 81st General Assembly of the United Nations, which made us proud as a nation, aroused the admiration of the whole world, and defended rights and justice, and then the announcement of his candidacy for President by the Party spokesman.
Those who do not speak out even though the corruption and immorality in municipalities are rampant, and their constant agenda of an issue that is being addressed decisively today and that will not allow the Turkish economy to be destabilized by taking the necessary precautions, is a clear attempt to attack the People's Alliance by disrupting the markets.
Whoever resorts to unlawfulness and encroaches on public property or orphans' rights must undoubtedly be held accountable before the law.
In the face of these developments;
• We are pleased that our government is taking action on the incident with determination. We support the decisions taken. In this respect, we stand behind our President and government.
• Those who want to create social polarization and economic division by spreading discord through funds should not be given the opportunity.
• This incident must be prevented from turning into an attack and slander against our President and the people's alliance.
• As we have repeatedly said, acquittal and purification should be ensured in politics, no one should be under suspicion, and on the other hand, those responsible should be held accountable before the law.
• The Nationalist Movement Party is determined to protect the rights and laws of our nation to the end. "Our nation should be assured, our economy is safe, our institutions are on duty and there is no need to worry."
