Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran, in his post on his NSosyal account, stated that the May 27, 1960 coup took place in Turkish political history as a dark intervention against the will of the nation and added:

“The execution of the late Prime Minister Adnan Menderes, Minister of Foreign Affairs Fatin Rüştü Zorlu and Minister of Finance Hasan Polatkan left deep scars in the memory and hearts of our nation. In this process, democracy was suspended and law and politics remained under heavy pressure. Today, Turkey, under the leadership of our President Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, strongly demonstrates that there can be no power above the national will. As we move towards a stronger and more democratic future with the vision of the Turkey Century, we do all kinds of actions towards the will of the nation.” “With these feelings, I remember the late Prime Minister Menderes, Mr. Zorlu and Mr. Polatkan with mercy and prayers, and I condemn any coup.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will meet with the people of Istanbul at the program to be held at the Haliç Congress Center on May 29, on the occasion of the 573rd anniversary of the Conquest of Istanbul.

Breaking news: MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli made important statements to Türkgün about the chaos and fights in CHP.

Highlights from Bahçeli’s speech;

“Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu is the Chairman of the CHP. In the next period, Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu will normally fulfill the requirements of the court decision to become the chairman. In this context, he will first settle in the Headquarters, carry out the repair and recovery, and eliminate the mess. At the same time, party activities will continue. In this way, it will be possible to rebuild a political party and bring it to democracy, not its collapse.”

9 SEPTEMBER PROPOSAL TO CHP FOR CONGRESS

Kılıçdaroğlu: “CHP must protect its moral values.” Recalling his statement, Bahçeli said, “This determination is also an admission that the CHP has moved away from its founding principles. Therefore, first of all, the Party will need to be controlled financially, legally and administratively, and the reasons that separate the CHP from its founding codes will need to be determined.” he said.

Bahçeli also suggested renewing the current members and holding the congress with a renewed membership structure. He suggested September 9, the founding date of the CHP, as the date of the congress.

Stating that the addressee of the congress call was Kılıçdaroğlu, Bahçeli emphasized that the result should be “respected”:

“After the district and provincial congresses are held, the grand congress will be held on a date deemed appropriate. In our opinion, this date may be September 9, which is also the founding date of the party. It is Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu who will fulfill these. In this way, a cleaned and purified CHP will be established until the grand congress, and Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu will fulfill a historical responsibility by providing a great service to the Republican People’s Party. He will also be able to show his sacrifice by expressing that he will respect whoever wins the congress.”

REACTION TO STREET PROTESTS

Warning to the Özgür Özel team, Bahçeli asked for the street protests to end:

“We are concerned that the transformation of the absolute bankruptcy crisis into intra-party conflict and street protests in the Republican People’s Party, which has a deep-rooted party institutionality in Türkiye, will create a wounded memory not only in the CHP but also in Turkish democracy and political culture.”

NEW PARTY CLAIMS: CHP SHOULD NOT BE DIVIDED

While the possibility of a new party is among the options, Bahçeli emphasized that the CHP should not be divided:

“Our expectation is not a divided CHP; it is a CHP that is united, free from its burdens, and serves Turkey and the Turkish nation. Wearing the institutional identity of the party, polarizing the base and destroying the organizational structure for the sake of struggles for temporary office will result in a heavy responsibility before history.”

On the instructions of the Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek, the file of the April 4 attack against the Fenerbahçe team was re-examined. The Ministry of Justice decided to “overturn the file in the interest of law” as a result of the investigation of the Unsolved Crimes Investigation Department.

THE FILE HAS BEEN OPENED AGAIN BY THE UNCLOSED CRIMES INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

Stating that the armed attack against the Fenerbahçe Sports Club football team in Trabzon on April 4, 2015 left deep traces in the nation’s memory and was recorded as an unacceptable action directed against the spirit of sports and our social peace, Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek said in his statement on the subject: “Despite the passage of time, the fact that all aspects of the incident could not be clarified and the investigation resulted in a decision of non-prosecution continued to disturb the public conscience. We carefully follow the justified reactions and expectations of justice from our citizens.” “In this context, the file in question was examined again and meticulously by the Unsolved Crimes Investigation Department operating within our Ministry,” he said.

A DECISION WAS MADE TO REVERSE IN THE BENEFIT OF THE LAW

As a result of the investigation, Minister Gürlek said that the decision to “overturn in the interest of law” regarding the file was taken yesterday and said, “With this decision, the way has been paved for the legal re-evaluation of the previously given decision of non-prosecution. Our aim is to shed light on all aspects of this heinous attack, to reveal the negligence, if any, and to ensure that those responsible are held accountable before the law. In line with the duty given by our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we will follow up with determination until the end of the process to ensure justice is served. We will follow up any file in the dark.” “We will not allow it to remain; we will not allow any incident that hurts the public conscience to be covered up.”
