Justice Minister Tunç to Özgür Özel: If you are going to ask for permission, ask like a man.

Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç responded to the criticisms of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel regarding the refusal to grant visitation rights to Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer, who was arrested and replaced by a trustee.

"YOU DON'T ASK FOR PERMISSION BY SHOUTING"

Before the AK Party's parliamentary group meeting, Tunç answered questions from journalists, stating, "Turkey is a rule of law. Everything happens within the framework of laws and regulations. You don't ask for permission by shouting. We reject statements like those of a FETÖ imam here. A party leader who visited those FETÖ imams while they were in the police during the December 17-25 process has no right to say this to us."

"YOU ARE INSULTING PROSECUTORS WITH UNACCEPTABLE INSULTS"

The Ministry of Justice also exercises its discretion within the framework of the law. If you are going to ask for permission, ask like a decent person. You will come out every day related to the investigation, violate the confidentiality of the investigation, and make unacceptable insults to the prosecutors conducting the investigation. First, look at yourself. You cannot achieve anything with a politics of insult. You cannot ask for permission by insulting our president or by calling judicial members names like guillotine or FETÖ imam," he said.
