Personalized gift bearing the name of the sheikh of Menzil

Our newspaper’s writer Barış Pehlivan, today, ‘Personal gift named after Menzil sheikh’ In his column titled, he wrote down the details of the ‘delivery to address’ arrangement made at the General Directorate of Post and Telegraph Organization (PTT).

The regulation on PTT employees was amended in May 2022. According to the old regulation; In order to become a legal adviser at the PTT, there was a requirement of at least five years of active practice as a lawyer.

According to the new regulation, having a lawyer’s license and working in any department in the institution for three years is enough to sit in the seat of legal counsel.

“STILL ODOR WAS RISING AT PTT…’

“Smells were rising in the PTT. It was as if the regulation had been changed for a special person. And unfortunately the predictions were correct. On August 4, a new name became the PTT’s legal counsel.” Pehlivan said:

“His name is Muhammet Raşit Köse. He was working as an assistant specialist at the PTT. He had a license but had never practiced law. So this was the ‘condition’.

The relevant part of Pehlivan’s article is as follows:

“Will people with merit sit in the seats that were vacated after July 15, as they should be? Or will the ‘forehead touches prostration’ criterion be taken as a basis, and this time other sect members will be filled into the state? Unfortunately, it was the latter.”

My friend on the phone told me, I checked, it’s true, I’ll pass it on to you…

3 months ago…

It was announced in the Official Gazette that the regulation on PTT employees was changed.

According to the old regulation; In order to become a legal adviser at the PTT, there was a requirement of at least five years of active practice as a lawyer. Well, the person who is the supervisor of the lawyers at the PTT should know what being a lawyer is, he should have that experience.

This condition was changed on May 13. According to the new regulation, having a lawyer’s license and having worked in any department at the PTT for three years would be enough to sit in the seat of legal counsel.

I draw your attention, that critical seat has been changed from the obligation of “to practice law for five years” to “even if he does not practice law at all, his license is sufficient”.

Bad smells were rising in the PTT. It was as if the regulations had been changed for someone special.

And unfortunately the predictions were correct.

On 4 August, a new name became PTT’s legal counsel.

Name: Muhammet Raşit Köse.

He was working as an assistant specialist at the PTT. He had a license but had never practiced law. So this was the “condition”.

Moreover, the requirement of the new regulation to “have been working for three years” was almost perfect for him. Köse had been working at the PTT for three and a half years.

I called Muhammet Raşit Köse. “Have you ever been a lawyer?” I asked. “I have a license,” he said. I know, got it in 2020. But here the accused became the legal advisor to whom the lawyers were attached, without defending himself, without breaking a sweat in the courthouses, without seeing the face of a judge. Everything was legal, everything was in its sheath!

Köse did not want to answer my questions very much. “My guests have arrived, this room will also be painted,” he cut the meeting short.

However, I was going to ask: Is it true that you got your name from Muhammet Raşit Erol, the sheikh of the Menzil sect?

Oh what ah!

All the institutions of the state were decaying. The 182-year-old PTT also gets its share from this…
