We clearly asked DEM Party Kocaeli Deputy Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu: Did the DEM Party remain silent on the Narin Güran incident?

Before the new legislative year of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, Haberler.com made special broadcasts from the Parliament garden. One of the guests on the program, presented by host Melis Yaşar and News Director Olgun Kızıltepe, was Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, the Kocaeli Deputy of the DEM Party.

"IT WAS CONSTANTLY ON OUR AGENDA"

During the live broadcast, Gergerlioğlu made striking evaluations, and he was asked the question, "Did the DEM Party remain silent about the Narin Güran incident, whose lifeless body was found 19 days after going missing in Diyarbakır?" Gergerlioğlu responded to this question by saying, "It was constantly on our agenda. Our women's movement made immediate statements and activities regarding this issue. We closely followed the matter."

"THIS ISSUE IS NOT JUST NARIN'S ISSUE"

Gergerlioğlu mentioned that they prepared legislative proposals regarding the protection of children, stating, "There are significant problems with 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 have submitted legislative proposals for much more effective measures regarding this, we have talked to officials from the Ministry of Family, and we have consulted with experts because this is a massive problem, not just the issue Narin faced."

"YOUR UNCLE HAS STRONG TIES TO THE GOVERNMENT"

Continuing his statement, Gergerlioğlu claimed that Narin Güran's imprisoned uncle has very strong ties to the government, saying, "The cover-up of abuses against children is happening. Our hearts are broken. Especially the mysterious nature 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 at the beginning. Evidence was tampered with. From the very beginning, we said that a very effective investigation should be conducted. The family expects protection from the government; their demand is in this direction. Already, many pieces of evidence have been tampered with because no effective measures have been taken so far. Narin's body was found in a later search. This is also a separate scandal. Very amateurish work was done. Since the investigation was not conducted effectively, many pieces of evidence were tampered with. Necessary information was not obtained. Narin's body was not found in time, and now at the Forensic Medicine, effective research results are not coming out regarding her body because it was too late. There are still suspects who are trying to shift the blame for the murder onto each other. There is a great uncertainty, and the possibility of government protection here is quite strong. Your uncle has very strong ties to the government, and the government has desires to protect them. The statements are always within this framework. An innocent child was murdered, and everyone watched."
