After the fund investigation, it was claimed that another change in roles in the economic management could be added. After former BDDK Chairman Şahap Kavcıoğlu left his post, this time an allegation of resignation emerged regarding Borsa Istanbul Board Chairman Erişah Arıcan. It was alleged that President Erdoğan also wanted Arıcan to leave her post, but Arıcan resisted this request.
As developments in the economic management continue within the scope of the fund investigation, a striking claim regarding Borsa İstanbul Board Chairman Erişah Arıcan has also come to the agenda. It has been alleged that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan requested the resignation of Erişah Arıcan as well, following former BDDK Chairman Şahap Kavcıoğlu. According to information reflected in Ankara corridors, it was claimed that Arıcan opposed this request and tried to explain herself in order to remain in office.
IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT ERDOĞAN ALSO REQUESTED ARICAN’S RESIGNATION
According to the allegations discussed in Ankara corridors, after the fund investigation, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan requested that BDDK Chairman Şahap Kavcıoğlu as well as Borsa İstanbul Board Chairman Erişah Arıcan leave their posts.
It was asserted that Arıcan did not welcome the resignation request conveyed to her and tried to make her case in order not to leave her post. While uncertainty continues over whether Arıcan will leave her post, it is being discussed that new position changes may occur in the economic management.
However, no official statement has yet been made indicating that Arıcan's resignation was requested or that she will be dismissed.
AFTER KAVCIOĞLU’S DEPARTURE, EYES TURNED TO ARICAN
BDDK Chairman Şahap Kavcıoğlu announced with a statement on November 11 that he had requested to be relieved of his post.
Kavcıoğlu stated that, due to the allegations that came to the agenda about himself and the BDDK, he asked President Erdoğan to be relieved of his post so that the institution would not be further damaged.
After Kavcıoğlu's departure, the resignation claim put forward about Erişah Arıcan brought the reflections of the fund investigation on the economic management back to the agenda.
ERHAN USTA HAD CALLED ARICAN TO THE COMMITTEE
İYİ Party Samsun MP Erhan Usta had also brought the fund investigation to the agenda of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) Planning and Budget Committee.
Usta stated that Erişah Arıcan, Chairperson of Borsa İstanbul and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Türkiye Wealth Fund, should be called to the committee and requested that questions regarding the fund process be answered.
Usta, arguing that Arıcan should make a statement about the functioning of the system and her role in the fund process, requested that the issue be addressed in detail in the committee.
EYES ARE ON THE STATEMENT TO COME FROM BORSA ISTANBUL
Within the scope of the fund investigation, after the judicial proceedings against senior figures at the BDDK and Şahap Kavcıoğlu's departure from his post, developments in the economic management became one of the closely followed topics.
While it is wondered how the resignation claim about Erişah Arıcan will conclude, it has not yet become clear whether there will be a change in Borsa İstanbul's management.
So far, there is no official decision or statement regarding Arıcan's dismissal or resignation.
