Another high-profile event is unfolding on the Turkish political stage: the dispute between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Özgür Özel is continuing with new court proceedings, reports Haqqin.az. The leader of the Justice and Development Party, Erdoğan, has filed a lawsuit in the Ankara civil court, demanding 500 thousand Turkish lira in moral damages from his opponent.
According to sources, the reason for this claim was the accusations, insults, and elements of threat made by Özgür Özel against the Turkish president during a press conference held on July 5. Erdoğan’s lawyer, Hüseyin Aydın, stated that the lawsuit refers to groundless and insulting words against the president, as well as threatening statements.
This dispute may further intensify the political tensions between the opposition and the government. The arrests of members of the Republican People's Party and the statements made on this basis have drawn serious attention to the issues of the rule of law and freedom of expression in Turkey.
According to political analysts, Erdoğan’s appeal to the court may further escalate the political climate in the country and intensify the confrontation between the opposition and the government. At the same time, the Turkish public is closely watching to see what result this case will bring.
