Businessman Acun Ilıcalı has made statements regarding a photograph in which he appears in the same frame as Adnan Oktar, which has caused controversy in the press.
Appearing as a guest on Enver Aysever's program, Ilıcalı said, "I was 19 years old. It was a period when my parents had passed away. I had contact with him for a period. 35 years ago. For a year and a half or two years. Then I left."
"I HAD CONTACT FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD"
Ilıcalı's statement is as follows:
"I was 19 years old in the year in question, Mr. Enver. I was between 19 and 20, and it was the period when my parents had passed away. I had contact for a certain period with friends I felt close to in a spiritual sense. Later, I left because I did not like the environment I was in. By the way, the place in the picture is Anıtkabir. I saw Adnan Hoca for a year and a half or two years 35 years ago, and I haven't seen him for 35 years. Besides, the followers of Adnan Hoca are not people who hide themselves; they were expressing this themselves."
