Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya resigns from AK Party amid stock allegations

Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya, AK Party Vice President and former Minister of Family and Social Policies, has resigned from all her party duties following allegations of irregular stock market transactions.

The allegations, brought forward by Yeni Party Spokesperson Zeynel Emre, claim that Kaya and her husband, İlyas Kaya, engaged in high-value trades involving Özata Denizcilik shares. Specifically, it is alleged that Kaya invested approximately 63.3 million TL in April and sold the shares in September for roughly 1.34 billion TL. Similar claims were made regarding İlyas Kaya, alleging an investment of 99.6 million TL followed by a withdrawal of 826 million TL.

In her resignation statement, Kaya emphasized that she is taking political and conscientious responsibility to ensure that the ongoing investigation can proceed independently and without any shadow of controversy. She noted that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has expressed a firm will to investigate such allegations thoroughly, regardless of the individual involved.
