Today's debates are not just a judicial process; they are also an indicator of how society's sense of justice is shaped.
The agenda is changing rapidly, the debates are fierce. But there are some processes that concern not only the parties involved, but the entire society. What is being discussed today stands at precisely such a threshold.
What is happening today is not just a matter of a lawsuit.What is happening today is a process in which reality and perception are being tested.
Some speak in courtrooms, others comment on screens.Some walk with documents, others make judgments based on perceptions.
And we know... that those who write the story can often get in the way of the truth.
But it should not be forgotten:
Truth may be delayed... but it is not lost.
We believe that today's discussions, public evaluations and criticisms against Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu should be handled carefully in every aspect.
Because this process is not only about an individual, but also about how the sense of justice is perceived by society.
We believe thatNo one should be evaluated in the shadow of preconceived judgments.No one should be mentioned with definitive judgments before the judicial process is completed.
And we believe again:Justice is not only about decisions, but also about the fairness of processes.
While we recognize that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's struggle may be interpreted in different ways by the public, we believe that it is a common expectation for all of us that this process will be concluded fairly, transparently and in accordance with the principles of the rule of law.
Because it is not just a question of a name, it is a question of protecting a principle.
The principle of justice... The concept of clean politics... The belief in the rule of law...
If we do not take common sense and fairness as a basis for our own assessments, we may inadvertently contribute to the overriding of perceptions over reality.
That is why we say:
No process should be completed with prejudices, but with the law.
And we remain confident that the final decision will be taken by an independent judiciary.
Because we are not just one person...
We defend justice itself.
And we believe:Where there is justice, no shadow is permanent.
