Gergerlioğlu: The Narin Güran incident should be investigated thoroughly.

Before the new legislative year of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM), Haberler.com made special broadcasts. Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, a guest on one of those broadcasts from the DEM Party, evaluated the Narin Güran incident. Stating that it was "a scandal," Gergerlioğlu said, "We have a legislative proposal regarding the protection of children. We have a proposal for the establishment of a Ministry of Children. This issue cannot be handled solely by the Ministry of Family. There should be two separate ministries under the names of the Ministry of Women and the Ministry of Children."

"WE ARE CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE PROCESS"

Evaluating the claims that the DEM Party remained silent regarding the murder of Narin Güran, Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu stated, "It was constantly on our agenda. Our women's movement made immediate statements and activities regarding this issue. We closely followed the matter." He mentioned that they prepared legislative proposals for the protection of children, saying, "There are significant problems related to orphanages. Young girls who fall into the streets or into prostitution, or young boys who fall into the hands of the mafia create huge problems, first for themselves and then for society. We submitted legislative proposals for much more effective measures to be taken regarding this, we talked to officials from the Ministry of Family, and we consulted with experts because this is a massive problem, not just the issue that Narin faced."

"NARIN GÜRAN'S FAMILY IS REQUESTING PROTECTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT"

"The cover-up of abuses against children is ongoing. Our hearts are broken. Especially the mysterious aspect of this murder, we believe, stems from significant mistakes. Family members are covering up certain things. We all know, understand, and see this. However, the Ministry of Interior and all other authorities were very late to intervene initially. Evidence was tampered with. From the very beginning, we said that a very effective investigation should be conducted. The family is expecting protection from the government; this is their request. Already, many pieces of evidence have been tampered with because no effective measures have been taken so far. Narin's body was found in the nth search. This is another scandal. Very amateurish work was done. Since the investigation was not conducted effectively, much evidence was tampered with. Necessary information was not obtained. Narin's body was not found in time, and currently, there are no effective research results on her body at the Forensic Medicine Institute because it was too late. There are still suspects who are blaming each other for the murder. There is a great deal of uncertainty, and the possibility of government protection here is quite strong. The uncle has very strong ties to the government, and there are desires from the government to protect them. The statements are always within this framework. An innocent child was murdered, and everyone watched."
