Developments known to the public as the "fund crisis" came to the agenda at the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly. The group deputy chairmen, whose seats were promised by Parliament Deputy Speaker Yusuf Beyazıt before moving on to the agenda, demanded that the list of those mentioned in the investigation be announced.
İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez reminded the words of the Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek, "We also wrote to the CMB, but the CMB did not do what was necessary." Çömez said, "A minister warns the CMB about corruption and manipulation and says 'Do what is necessary', but the CMB does not move a finger." Claiming that Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz had photographs taken with the people mentioned in the fund investigation, Çömez said, "They are all inside, the owners of Altınbaş University, Nusret Altınbaş and İnan Altınbaş, are arrested, this man is also arrested, he is inside, he is inside from Pusula." Çömez said, “Now I ask Mr. Vice President: Didn't you know that you posed and took pictures with these gang members, Mr. Vice President?” he asked. Çömez said, "If you did not know about it, you cannot do that duty. If you did know about it and gave these pictures, then you were a part of this job, knowingly or unknowingly, you cannot do this duty."
'DON'T TELL FAIRY TALES!'
NEW Party Group Deputy Chairman Gökhan Günaydın noted that 440 people stole 401 billion liras between 1 and 16 September. "The citizens' money remained inside, they put the money in their pockets, stole it and took it away. Where is the list?" Günaydın said, "Don't tell us stories. Aren't you ashamed to come here and tell nonsense?" he said.
Günaydın said the following about the allegations against MPs:
"They are talking about 60 deputies. I hope there are no 60, let alone 60, but as their friends who say 'I did not steal money from here', if you are, you also have the right and the responsibility to come out and demand that this list be disclosed."
'I EXPLAINED IT, THEN YOU OPENED AN INVESTIGATION'
Addressing the ruling group, Günaydın said, "As long as you do not demand this, the ruling bloc is completely under this accusation. The one who hides the list means that he finds something in that list that needs to be hidden and is hiding it. If there is a person from the NEW Party, explain him first." Günaydın said to the companies, "There are 41 companies, they prepared the ground for this robbery with manipulations. To date, investigations have been opened against 16 of them, 16 of them, only these 16. What is the reason? CMB gave permission for investigation to them but not to the others." Listing the companies where he said an investigation was opened, Günaydın said, "I told about Gündoğdu Gıda, then you opened an investigation, I told about Özata first. All of them are AKP members. Altınkılıç is also from AKP. An investigation has been opened against them, haven't you been able to open an investigation higher up yet?" he said. Reminding the allegation he had previously brought up regarding Kiler, Günaydın said, "Look, I am telling these, I also told Kiler. As I said, Kiler was worth 20 billion dollars. In other words, while Koç was worth 13 billion dollars, İş Bank was worth 6 billion dollars, in the speculation in Kiler, I said that Kiler was worth 20 billion dollars. You do not open an investigation against the man, the man is suing me for compensation of 5 million liras."
'HOW WILL THOSE WHO PROTECT THIS COUNTRY TAKE CARE OF THIS COUNTRY?'
"Gentlemen, Vahit Kiler wants 5 million lira from me. 5 million, 5 billion is nothing for Vahit Kiler," said Günaydın, adding, "Let me tell you, Vahit Kiler: I will deal with you. I will come to that court, come too if you have the courage, but how will you deal with the people of this country whose money has been stolen, the issue is here and how those who protect them will look at the face of this country, the real issue is here."
