Lawyer Yılmaz wishing he'd become a truck driver.
The fake heirs of Arap Süleyman and Hacı Bekirzade Mehmet Ağa,
two main heirs of billions of dollars of land in Antalya, are affecting
the case that has been going on for about 70 years. Necati Yılmaz,
one of the lawyers of the case, said, "Anyone who finds the name
'Süleyman' in his family comes to this file." (!)
In the 67-year-old case regarding lands worth billions of dollars in
the city, registered in the name of Arap Süleyman, Hacı Bekirzade
Mehmet Ağa and the Treasury, there is a problem of fake heirs and
their involvement in the cases. In this area of 2 million 400 thousand
square meters; Tourism Practice Hotel, Antalya Training and Research
Hospital, Falez and Rixos hotels, Glass Pyramid Park, AKM, Atatürk
Culture Park, Glass Pyramid Fair and Congress Center, Antalya
Tennis Specialization Club, fuel station, Antalyaspor Facilities,
Corendon Stadium, Antalya Courthouse, Antalya Sports Hall,
around 10 thousand residences in numerous sites, Meltem Market
Place, facilities, schools, parks, the Regional Land Registry
Directorate, mosques, parking lots, cooperatives and many other
structures.
Lawyer Necati Yılmaz, who has been following the case for more
than 20 years on behalf of Hacı Bekirzade Mehmet Ağa and some
of the heirs of Arap Süleyman, pointed out that there are hundreds
of people who appear to be parties in this file. Yılmaz said, "They say,
'We are the heirs of Arab Süleyman', but they have no idea how
they became heirs. Anyone who finds the name 'Süleyman' in their
family comes to this file. The courts are also at fault. They decided
to accept the primary intervention requests regarding these requests,
without examining them or fulfilling the relevant procedural
measures. A lot of people seem to be actually involved in the file,
but they do not even know how they actually became heirs."
"It's mine!"...
Stating that it was decided to reject the request of the person who
claimed to be the heir of Hacı Bekirzade Mehmet Ağa in the case,
Necati Yılmaz said, "Actually, he is not yet a party in the case.
In other words, it is not possible for him to make a request before
a decision is made regarding his request for intervention, that is,
without gaining the title of 'party'. The court made such a decision
by mistake."
"In other words, although there was no need to make
a decision and there was no need to make any decision, it decided
to reject it. They also used this and the file is again in the
Regional Court of Justice. However, "The Regional Court of
Justice has already made a decision 3 months ago. What is the
point of sending the same decision there again? The purpose here
is to drag the file out somehow. Various people are trying to take
advantage of this," he said.
Giving the example of H.Y., who intervened in the case with
assertions that he was the heir of Arap Süleyman's daughter
Hava and was tried for the crime of forgery of documents, Yılmaz
said, "The person called H.Y. came and made demands
in exchange for withdrawing these cases. But of course, it is not
just about H.Y. withdrawing his demand. There are hundreds of
people. There is a group of people. For example, they claim that
they are the heirs of Süleyman Ağa's granddaughter Zeynep."
"There are those who claim that Zeynep's date of birth is 1877.
The date of birth of the people they claim to be Zeynep's
daughter and son in their family is 1872. In other words, they
claim that they are children born before their mother (!). But the
courts accept the requests for intervention without sufficient
examination."
Necati Yılmaz stated that adding such people to the file as
interveners made the case difficult and continued as follows:
"The more parties there are, the more difficult it is. Everyone
has the right to appeal. A lot of people, whether interested or not,
have such rights. You are granting these rights illegally. That's
why the case drags on. A lot of people die between the two
hearings (!). They have to participate in the cases. The court is
trying to include the inheritance certificates of people we do not
know whether they are really heirs or not, and their children
and their children in the case. These are the situations that
make these cases drag on."
In this case, in which the heirs of 'Süleyman Ağa', who was
mentioned in a similar incident in Serik district because of the
name 'Süleyman', also intervened and caused chaos, sacks full
of documents were created in 67 years. Lawyer Necati Yılmaz,
one of the names who has been the lawyer of the case for a long
time, also stated that there are bags of documents related to this
case that has been going on since 1958 and the cases filed
within the scope of the subject.
