Reaction from Turhan Çömez to the fund investigation: 'There has never been such a network in the history of the Republic'

İYİ Party Group Deputy Chairman Turhan Çömez, at the press conference he held in the Turkish Grand National Assembly, said, "We want to learn and know all the members of this 440-person network that robbed the state and the nation" regarding the fund investigation carried out regarding the transactions carried out in the capital markets.

Çömez said:

"We have been saying from the very beginning, this is an organized crime network. There has never been such a vile, coordinated and powerful network in the history of the Republic that has penetrated every area. Even if you wash this network, its extensions, and those who committed this robbery with bleach for 40 days, it will not be purified. It is such a dirty, complex, disgraceful structure. We have been announcing the details of this network for days. Mr. Minister said, 'There is a hierarchical, systematic cooperation.' That is true. Then we ask the Mr. Minister of Justice, This network is hierarchical, systematic, "You will tell us how it works in cooperation. There is a connection between the financial bureaucracy, the people who manipulate and the media. We want to know. Who are the leaders of this network that has penetrated into all institutions of the state? You have to explain this to us. You cannot hide the big ox."

Stating that there is negligence on the part of the public bureaucracy, especially the Capital Markets Board, Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, Borsa Istanbul, Central Registry Agency and MASAK, Çömez said, "If one person within this structure had said 'no' and exposed the system, this disgrace would not have happened. They are all involved in this. We will hold them accountable one by one."

Çömez said, "The head of all these structures is Erişah Arıcan, who is still untouched. If this whole network, this robbery structure was carried out without Erişah Arıcan's knowledge, Arıcan cannot sit in that position even for a second. I have an open call to Mr. Erdoğan from here. Detain Erişah Arıcan immediately, ask all these questions one by one and ask for an account of how this robbery was carried out."

Çömez said, "Where in the world are the four people whose signatures were on the money in a Central Bank either under arrest, under house arrest, or dismissed?"

Turhan Çömez noted that they carried out detailed research and studies on the "fund fraud" and that they were ready to share the information and documents they obtained with all relevant institutions in order to defend the rights of the nation.
