News of a departure has emerged from the pro-government newspaper Yeni Şafak, which has recently targeted economic management and made harsh criticisms of Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek.
Journalist Özlem Gürses claimed on a live broadcast on Sözcü TV that the newspaper has parted ways with columnist İsmail Kılıçarslan.
Gürses pointed to Kılıçarslan's harsh criticisms of Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya on a YouTube channel he appeared on as the reason for the separation.
Gürses stated the following during the live broadcast:
“Just as the Yeni Şafak newspaper has been criticizing Mehmet Şimşek, the words of İsmail Kılıçarslan, who writes for Yeni Şafak, regarding Ali Yerlikaya had created a bombshell effect. İsmail Kılıçarslan had made very harsh criticisms and comments about Ali Yerlikaya on a YouTube channel. Today we learn that Yeni Şafak has parted ways with İsmail Kılıçarslan. You heard it here from me.”
Kılıçarslan had ended his final column in Yeni Şafak, titled “Tie your camel tight, for you are the camel,” with the words “God, farewell.”
