“VIRUS IS SELECTING A MEETING”
* In the General Health Law No. 1593, the Public Health Boards do not have the authority to postpone the General Assembly. In this case, it is clearly contrary to the law to repeal a regulation dictated by law, by means of a circular or decision of the board.

“WE WILL CONTINUE OUR STRUGGLE WITH LEGAL WAYS”
* Although we declare that we will continue our fight against this illegality by legal means, we remind the authorities once again that this legal conflict will cause irreparable damage to the principle of legal security and to our democracy in terms of arbitrarily eliminating the right to vote and be chosen one.

President of the Union of Turkish Bar Associations Text Feyzioğlu’s decision was evaluated as follows;
* There is a pandemic reality. We also have an obligation to fight this pandemic reality and an obligation to succeed. This is the point. Approximately 50 thousand lawyers in Istanbul, 20 thousand in Ankara, 8 thousand in Izmir and 7 thousand in Antalya have the right and the obligation to participate.
