Umut Oran

One of the most popular topics of the media right after elections is the answer to the question “Who cast his/her vote where?” As in any other aftermath of any election, we read in yesterday’s papers which celebrity cast their vote at which polling station.

Muammer Taşdelen, a relative of three of the Turkish hostages kept in Mosul by jihadist militants nearly two months ago, and CHP deputy Umut Oran have filed a criminal complaint on Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and bureaucrat Ömer Onhan.

The complaint includes malpractice and neglect.

The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has demanded the resignation of Customs and Trade Minister Hayati Yazıcı over shady gold transfers from Ghana to Dubai via Turkey, on the grounds that he failed to open an efficient probe into a mysterious cargo plane carrying 1.5 tons of gold. 

Republican People’s Party (CHP) Istanbul Deputy Umut Oran has submitted another parliamentary question regarding the shady gold transfer from Ghana to Dubai via Istanbul.

An opposition lawmaker has initiated reopening the case of mysterious gold trade from Ghana to Dubai via Istanbul early 2013.

The developments come through a parliamentary question on the role of the Foreign Ministry in easing procedures for the plane in question to leave the Istanbul airport, although it had been seized by the Customs Directorate, due to its suspect cargo.
