First message from Merdan Yanardağ while in custody
TELE1 Editor-in-Chief Merdan Yanardağ has issued a statement through his lawyer following his detention.
Merdan Yanardağ was detained as part of an investigation launched regarding the imprisoned presidential candidate of the CHP, Ekrem İmamoğlu.
In the message conveyed through his lawyer Bilgütay Hakkı Durna, Yanardağ stated that he is in good health, saying, “This is a fifth-rate setup. Throughout my life, I have been in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Those who continue trade with Israel are conducting an operation against us, who fight against the Zionist regime.
There was never any situation where I interfered in the 2019 election.
During that election period, we only performed journalism and hosted guests.
Throughout my life, I have never had any relationship with anyone outside of journalistic activities. This is a poorly constructed, fifth-rate setup against me and Tele1,” he said. Yanardağ stated that he does not know Hüseyin Gün, who is mentioned in the investigation.
