Güler's statement is as follows:

"Following what has happened, I also have things I want to share with you. Let me say at the beginning what I would say at the end: I have conveyed my decision to part ways with Halk TV to my managers today.

I would like to thank our managers and all my colleagues who have enabled us to work for years without casting a shadow over our editorial independence.

Long live the truth, long live journalism!"

Seda Selek announced her decision to leave at the end of the 'Neden-Sonuç' program she had been hosting for a long time on April 30, stating, "Know that I have extremely justified reasons." Following Selek, Sorel Dağıstanlı also stated on social media on May 8 that he had left, saying, "I have left Halk TV, where I have worked for 5 years. The reason is the social media post I made some time ago regarding the departure of my friend Seda Selek."

With these latest developments, three prominent figures have ended their relationship with Halk TV in quick succession.
