The 1st Civil Court of First Instance of Ankara annulled the decision of the Disciplinary Council on the expulsion of Istanbul MP Ümit Özdağ from the İYİ Party. The İYİ Party’s decision is expected after this court decision …
Ümit Özdağ made accusations about FETÖ about Buğra Kavuncu, provincial president of the Good Party in Istanbul. Özdağ, who was referred to the Disciplinary Council, was expelled from his party. Özdağ, through his lawyer Uğur Tarhan, filed a request for the annulment of the decision alleging that the referral to the disciplinary procedure was carried out in violation of the procedure and manner stipulated in the party’s statute, the reason for the referral to the Council of Discipline and the reasons for the final dismissal given by the Disciplinary Council were different.
“CANCELLATION OF THE DISCIPLINARY BOARD DECISION IS REQUIRED”
Özdağ’s lawyer, Uğur Tarhan, and the lawyers of the accused İYİ party participated in the case held at the First Civil Court of First Instance of Ankara. Stating that they stated that the dismissal decision subject to cancellation was contrary to procedure and form in two respects, lawyer Tarhan said: “The first of these is the lack of authority of the body that referred the plaintiff client to the Central Board of Discipline. The sole authority to refer the client to the disciplinary council rests with the president or the general management council. Second, the defendant stated that the referral of the plaintiff to the disciplinary commission was due to the petitions for a complaint presented by the 80 provincial heads to the General Secretariat after their statements on a television program they attended on 10/19/2020 , as an annex to the reply request, dated 10/20/2020. As can be seen both in the complaint requests and in the reasoned decision, the subject of the complaints in question are the statements of the complaining client about the provincial president of Istanbul. However, in the disciplinary decision subject to cancellation, it is seen that the statements made by the client about Meral Akşener and Koray Aydın are also shown as grounds for dismissal. The decision of the Disciplinary Board must be canceled, ”he said.
Party lawyer İYİ Mustafa Tolga Öztürk said: “The plaintiff’s accusations do not reflect the truth. The denunciation petitions presented to the General Secretariat were collected and delivered to the general presidency. In this way, the plaintiff was transferred from the presidency to the discipline. In addition, as indicated in the articles of the regulation that are shown as the reasons for the referral to discipline, the Disciplinary Board detailed the article to which the plaintiff referred while his defense was requested. Given that the decision of the Disciplinary Council was taken in accordance with the laws and regulations in terms of form and procedure, the case must be dismissed ”.
After the lawyer’s statements, the court announced its verdict. The court ruled the annulment of Özdağ’s expulsion from the İYİ Party.
ÖZDAĞ FIRST EXPLANATION
Ümit Özdağ, on whom the decision to cancel his expulsion was made, said “Justice has been served” on Twitter.
Özdağ said in a statement he later made: “I conveyed my thanks, who stood firm and correct in this process. I would like to express it face to face. This is the final decision. There is no way to appeal this.”
