CHP Deputy Group Chair Sevda Erdan Kılıç told the plenary that a parliamentary inquiry committee should be set up on the fund crisis. The opposition was reported to be preparing motions in the Turkish Grand National Assembly's (TBMM) new legislative year, while the ruling bloc looked unfavourably on a committee.

Kılıç said, "We have to establish a parliamentary inquiry committee." Ruling-bloc sources said the matter had gone to the judiciary and the State Supervisory Council had launched a review, adding that the plenary could be briefed instead of a committee.
