As the highest-ranked Public Prosecutor of Turkey, Yalçınkaya brought charges against the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on 14 March 2008 to the Constitutional Court of Turkey, charging the party for violating the principle of separation of religion and state in Turkey and requesting 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 had become "a center for anti-secular activities", but decided not to close the party, imposing a financial penalty as a warning instead by cutting 50% of the state funding to the party.
