Martı CEO Oğuz Alper Öktem reacted to the approval of a new 2,500-taxi application in Istanbul at the UKOME meeting, which was supported by the Ministry of Transport.

Targeting Istanbul Planning Agency President Buğra Gökce in his statements, Öktem had alleged that Gökce was "handing over Istanbul" to a taxi app owner.

A response to those statements came from Gökce. Sharing on his X account, Gökce used the following expressions without naming anyone:

"I respectfully announce to the public that I will initiate all kinds of legal proceedings against the slanderous person who has lost their senses and has directed irrational, illogical, and unreasonable insults and slanders towards me and my colleagues following the recent developments regarding the taxi issue."
