Kılıçdaroğlu's Lawyer Files Criminal Complaint Against Hüseyin Aygün Over Statements

Former Republican People's Party (CHP) Tunceli Deputy Hüseyin Aygün is facing a criminal complaint filed by the lawyer of former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. The complaint stems from recent statements made by Aygün regarding internal CHP matters and Kılıçdaroğlu himself.

Aygün recounted a past meeting with Kılıçdaroğlu, alleging that the former party leader had advised him to cease his criticisms of a specific religious community. Furthermore, Aygün revived claims suggesting a connection between Kılıçdaroğlu and Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT).

In response to these allegations, Kılıçdaroğlu's lawyer, Celal Çelik, issued a strong statement. "Hüseyin Aygün, who undertook the defense of dozens of hardened FETÖ members arrested after July 15, can shamelessly slander our Chairman," Çelik stated. He added, "Although we know he has spinal problems, we cannot overlook him. We will immediately take legal action due to the lies and slanders he has directed."

The lawyer specifically criticized Aygün for his past legal work defending individuals accused of ties to the Gülen movement, which Turkey designates as a terrorist organization (FETÖ). Çelik deemed Aygün's statements as slanderous and vowed to pursue legal recourse.
