Ankara Bar Association President Gökhan Ağdemir withdrew his candidacy

Ankara Bar Association No. 2 President Gökhan Ağdemir officially announced that he withdrew from his candidacy for the bar association presidency. Ağdemir announced that he took this decision after the recent allegations and statements were taken out of context and presented.

The process started with discussions about Bar Association members becoming members of the judiciary. Gökhan Ağdemir stated that the statements made were distorted with malicious intent, that 2 years of work were tried to be reduced to a single discussion, and that perception management made the candidacy process unsustainable.
