“IT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ATTITUDE”

Gürlek pointed out that the monitoring of judicial processes in Türkiye by international circles is an indicator of the country’s democratic maturity and transparency, and said, “On the other hand, making judgment-like statements about ongoing trials at the courthouse is an unacceptable attitude that targets the Turkish judiciary and tries to put judicial processes under political pressure.” made his assessment.

“NO ONE CAN WALK A FINGER AT TURKISH COURTS”

“I am stating clearly here that no one can point their finger at the Turkish courts, try to influence the ongoing trials, put pressure on the Turkish judiciary or intervene in the internal affairs of our country. Under the leadership of our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkey has come to this day by protecting its national will against tutelage centers, coup enthusiasts, terrorist organizations and circles trying to teach democracy lessons from outside. Turkey is a great country with the power to enforce its own law, the will to protect its democracy and the sovereignty to determine its future. “We will not allow any political agenda that targets our national will, our judicial organization and our rule of law.”

The Republic of Türkiye is an independent, sovereign and democratic state of law. Judicial power is exercised by independent and impartial courts on behalf of the Turkish nation. The fact that the judicial processes in our country are followed by international circles is a sign of Türkiye’s democratic maturity and transparency.
