Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin opposed the removal of immunities saying that jurists sometimes acted politically. Without mentioning his name, Sahin also criticized former Appeals Court Attorney General Vural Savas.

Sahin said, “A prosecutor, who retired when he was at the top of the judiciary, says in the book he wrote, “We tried a lot to block Tayyip Erdogan, the present Prime Minister, however we could not succeed.” Is it possible for deputies not worry about that?”
