HUDA PAR Chairman Mehmet Yavuz came together with the national and local press in Turkiye's Southeastern city Şanlıurfa and made important statements about the agenda. Yavuz also shared his party's views about the amnesty.
Reminding the remarks of MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli said before the June 24 elections, "There is a need for amnesty in the country. Therefore, it is necessary to make an amnesty." Yavuz added that the statements from the AK Party and the Presidential cabinet on this issue showed that they do not have an amnesty on their agenda.
Yavuz, who expressed his views and evaluations on the law of amnesty, said: "Our principle for the amnesty is that the state has the authority to forgive the crimes against itself if it makes an amnesty. The forgiveness of other people's crimes against some other victims is not under the authority of the state. It belongs to the victim. Victim family, person or institution should be authorized in that kind of amnesty."
"An arrangement must be done for the victims of February 28 and the judge of FETO"
"The state has become governed by terrorist organizations. Both FETO and Ergenekon or February 28, the coup mentality were effective at the administration of the state. Judges and prosecutors have been taken into prison due to operations carried out against these organizations. According to our determinations, one of the three judges and prosecutors of FETO were sentenced, convicted, and sent to prisons. There is a serious social issue here. We leave the decisions taken by those imprisoned judges to the conscious of society. There should be an arrangement for those criminals committed crimes against the 'state', at least the state should pave the way for the retrial for those victims of February 28 and FETO. Thus, the name of this won't be amnesty. Because these people have been victimized. Instead of; it is necessary for the restoration of honor or return of right. This is our approach to amnesty in our principled sense."
"Governing this nation with a coup-produced constitution is the greatest badness that can be done to this nation"
Recalling that President Erdoğan explained the "100-Day Action Plan" during the days we passed, Yavuz expressed that they found some as important but some insufficient.
Yavuz continued: "In particular, we consider as a deficiency that not even a single word coup constitution has not been changed, the main reason for our support for the April 16 Referendum was for this. Governing this nation with a coup-produced constitution is the greatest badness that can be done to this nation, which "Our children succeeded," said the American Ambassador. Therefore, we consider it a major shortcoming that the President and Turkish Cabinet have not taken it into the agenda. The current constitution is a coup- produced constitution. It based on othering and principle of ideological imposition. Instead, a new constitution is in need that based on the right of our faith and people's values, not based on prohibition, rejection, denial, and assimilation."
