Reactions of Turkish Politicians and Parliament

Media and political analysts have brought this topic into public debate, and some members of the Turkish Parliament have expressed their reactions:

• Özgür Özel, leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), criticized powerful Turkish figures who allegedly manage media coverage regarding Epstein-related disclosures, stating that these issues should not be swept under the rug and that accountability is necessary.

• Turhan Çömez, a member of the İYİ Party, referred to U.S. documents suggesting that minors may have been transferred from Turkey to Epstein’s island and called it a “horrific crime against humanity.”

• Doğan Bekin, a representative of the New Welfare Party (YRP), raised questions in Parliament about the potential existence of victims from Turkey and the possible responsibility of Turkish individuals.
