Fatih B., who took the driver hostage inside a truck on the Northern Marmara Motorway in the Körfez district of Kocaeli, was pursued by police and gendarmerie forces.

Security forces, who blocked the road in the Sevindikli area of Körfez, stopped traffic and prepared to intervene to neutralize the individual.

While the suspect resisted the persuasion efforts of security teams, he requested to speak with Minister of Interior Ali Yerlikaya. Minister Yerlikaya persuaded the individual to surrender as a result of the phone call he made.

During the dramatic moments that took place on live broadcast, following Minister Yerlikaya's conversation with the suspect, the hostage was released first, and then the suspect came out himself. No injuries or loss of life occurred while the teams neutralized the suspect.

HERE IS THE CONVERSATION YERLİKAYA HAD WITH THE MAN WHO TOOK THE TRUCK DRIVER HOSTAGE

Yerlikaya: Fatih, surrendering to justice right now is the best solution for you, your mother, your siblings...

-I don't want special treatment, I want you to help me

Yerlikaya: Tell me your thoughts, tell me what you want...

-It is enough for you to say that you are on my side

Yerlikaya: I, the Minister of Interior of the Republic of Turkey, give you my word; you surrender peacefully, and I will not let justice waver by a single unit. I am sending Faruk to you. He is my police chief whom I have known since my time at the Gaziantep Governorship; he is an honest man.

-From this hour on, whoever comes, I will hand over my weapon and surrender

Yerlikaya: Your father and your brother can also call me from this phone; all I want is for you not to do anything you will be ashamed of afterwards. You are surrendering to justice, is that correct...

After you surrender, I will talk to you while you are going in the car. Never waver from justice; when the nation hears this conversation because of the way you are speaking, they will appreciate you, saying you are a brave man.

-I am a person chasing my bread... You are highly respected, Minister, may God be pleased with you

Yerlikaya: You surrender to justice, I will call you later.
