Service to Cemevis is a requirement of CHP's principle of equality and freedom of belief. It is unacceptable for CHP Bah\u00e7elievler District Chairman Dan\u0131\u015f Akpolat to make statements that cause social discrimination by using hurtful and discriminatory language. This statement is incompatible with his duties and responsibilities in the CHP. For this reason, the CHP Istanbul Provincial Administration has deemed it compulsory to refer Bah\u00e7elievler District Chairman Dan\u0131\u015f Akpolat to the disciplinary board in accordance with the CHP Party Statute 68-b.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00fcrsel Tekin announced that Dan\u0131\u015f Akpolat was referred to the disciplinary board in accordance with Article 68-b of the CHP Party Charter due to his statements that led to social discrimination.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":280859,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[15],"class_list":{"0":"post-280858","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politika","8":"tag-chp"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280858"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280858\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280860,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280858\/revisions\/280860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/halkweb.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
