Justice Minister Akın Gürlek details ‘Terörsüz Türkiye’, digital media law and cold‑case reviews in Iğdır
Justice Minister Akın Gürlek visited Iğdır for a series of meetings, including an AK Party extended council session and a digital‑media workshop organized by TİGAD. He announced that the “Terörsüz Türkiye” package, aimed at ending terrorism, is close to parliamentary approval and that the conflict has cost Turkey about $2.3 trillion. Gürlek said the ministry has created a bureau for unsolved crimes and is reopening several cold‑case files, notably those of Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu and journalist Uğur Mumcu, pledging that all responsible parties will be brought before the courts. He warned that anyone who harms the “Yeşil Vatan” – Turkey’s forests – will be prosecuted. The minister highlighted the use of new technological tools to stay ahead of organized crime, which now operates through digital platforms, crypto assets and shell companies. An upcoming social‑media law, expected in October, will tighten accountability for online misinformation. Gürlek also announced the gifting of a new 20,000 m² justice palace to Iğdır and the establishment of a local administrative court, improving citizens’ access to justice. He met with MP Cantürk Alagöz, the family of Uğur Mumcu and other officials, reiterating the state’s commitment to resolve long‑standing investigations.
