Former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu targeted journalists by sharing clippings of articles by Tolga Şardan, Orhan Bursalı, and Orhan Uğuroğlu, following the publication of a piece by Timur Soykan from BirGün today.
Soylu also filed a 'complaint' while making a social media post regarding the journalists' reports on criminal organizations, in which he tagged Fahrettin Altun.
HE CLAIMED IT WAS ORGANIZED
In a post on his X account this morning, Soylu included 4 clippings of news reports and articles concerning criminal organizations and operations against them.
Sharing the “Baron citizenship scandal” article by BirGün writer Timur Soykan today, along with pieces by journalists Tolga Şardan, Orhan Bursalı, and Orhan Uğuroğlu, Soylu alleged that the reports were ‘organized’.
"IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE"
Arguing that these reports cast suspicion on the state, Soylu stated, “Everyone has the right to learn the true facts of these reports, which journalists have obtained all the details for! and are serving to the public by manipulating them.”
Defending his position by saying, “It is neither legally nor physically possible for someone wanted with a red notice to obtain citizenship, or even residency,” Soylu continued his message as follows:
HE TAGGED FAHRETTİN ALTUN
“While trying to bury Süleyman Soylu with slanders, lies, and attributions, they are simultaneously burying all units of the state.
The mentality that targets the entire struggle waged by the state with sedition and slander is the delusion of those who systematically and pathologically slander Turkey as a narco-state.”
Although Soylu did not tag anyone in his initial message, he later edited the post to include Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun. It was noted that despite the operations and information in question falling under the purview of Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya, Soylu tagged Fahrettin Altun instead of Yerlikaya.
Organized reports continue!!!
