It was suggested that the European Parliament be included in the sanctions list: Statement from Akın Gürlek

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek, regarding his name being suggested on the sanctions list due to human rights violations in the Turkey report to be voted on at the European Parliament General Assembly, said: "This politically charged approach, fueled by some circles in the European Parliament, undermines the credibility of the institutions these people represent." "What matters to us is the conscience of our beloved nation and the decisions of independent Turkish courts," he said.
