Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu won his lawsuit against Minister Yusuf Tekin. The court ruled that Tekin must pay 25,000 TL in damages to Imamoğlu.

Minister Tekin had made statements linking Imamoğlu to terrorist groups. These remarks were deemed damaging to Imamoğlu's reputation and led to the lawsuit.

Imamoğlu's lawyer, Kemal Polat, had requested 50,000 TL in damages. The court decided that Tekin's statements could not be considered within the scope of freedom of expression.

This case has become a focal point of political discussions in Turkey, and Imamoğlu's victory was welcomed by many.
