Response from Minister Göktaş to the funding claims of the New Party. "We were exposed to great slander"

Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş answers NTV's questions.

Highlights from Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş's statements are as follows:

"Our President's attitude within the scope of fund investigations is very clear. No matter who it touches, wherever it leads, necessary action will be taken. We have a President who carries out this process with great care. Likewise, a meticulous study is carried out regarding the process. However, last week, we were subjected to great slander targeting my family.

First of all, I would like to give some information about the process. Maybe for the first time, I want to say this to you. A day before, on Wednesday, our Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz made a briefing in the Parliament. During that period, the opposition, especially the aforementioned Ümit Özdağ, spoke at length about the minister as the father of a minister. Of course, our MPs meet with each other. One of our representatives sent me a message at around 20:00 in the evening. He said, "I'm meeting with him, I'm afraid they're trying to spread the incident to you and your father." And I told them to do their best. Neither my father nor any member of my family has a single account or a single record in these funds. They said they had evidence. I said that even if they had evidence, there was no such thing. I said tell them, it will explode in their hands. There is no such evidence because there is a similarity in names. It's not about my family. Their friends forwarded it to them. This process is not a process learned at the last minute. Of course it's annoying. Because we are all witnessing the opposition's recent dirty politics."
