ErdoÄŸan’s lawyers had originally appealed for a payment of 100,000 liras for non-pecuniary damages.
The Ankara 24th Civil Court delivered its ruling at a hearing on April 9, at which lawyers for the two parties were present.
ErdoÄŸan’s lawyer, Muammer CemaloÄŸlu, argued that in KılıçdaroÄŸlu’s parliamentary group speech delivered on Jan. 14, 2013, the CHP head violated the personal rights of ErdoÄŸan and insulted him. The latter was the prime minister and leader of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) at the time.
KılıçdaroÄŸlu’s lawyer, Celal Çelik, on the other hand, said his client used “solid facts” in order to enlighten the public during the speech in question, which was actually “in the interests of the public.”
In his ruling, Judge Mustafa Satış partially accepted the case brought against KılıçdaroÄŸlu, ordering the CHP head to pay 10,000 liras in non-pecuniary damages.
