As the highest ranked Public Prosecutor of Turkey and a staunch kemalist, Yalçınkaya brought charges against the Justice and Development Party (AKP) on 14 March, 2008 to the Constitutional Court of Turkey, demanding that the party be closed and its 71 officials barred from politics for five years.^[1] Those officials include the current president Abdullah Gül and the prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The court confirmed that the party has been an axis of actions against "secularism", but decided not to close the party, imposing a financial penalty as a warning instead.
