Erhürman: “It’s not a problem anyway, this will end in court”

CTP Chairman Tufan Erhürman, who took the floor in this section, said that they have pointed out the wrong articles since morning, but the errors have not been corrected.

While the articles were read and voted one by one, Erhürman took the floor stating that the definition of municipality was made incorrectly in the second article; Erhürman noted that there are new problems in the changed articles.

Explaining that there is a problem in all matters, Erhürman said, “It’s okay, this will end in court anyway, but you continue to add chaos on top of chaos.”

Expressing that there is a problem in the third article, Erhürman explained that the purpose of the law was also misunderstood. Are you going to raise your hand on this too? Are you making fun of these people with the Assembly?” he asked.

UBP Deputy Oğuzhan Hasipoğlu proposed an amendment to the fourth article stating that the amendment submitted for the fourth article made the existing problem even more intractable. Erhürman said that the municipalities whose legal entities were abolished with the amendment were now undefined, adding that they tried to explain that this would be the case in the morning.
