"If my lawyer hadn't noticed, we might have been arrested this weekend while heading out for Görkemli Hatıralar.
I was detained on a plane in İzmir due to a report that had nothing to do with me. I gave my statement and said, 'I have no responsibility for this report.' The prosecutor has prepared an indictment.
An arrest warrant was issued after the first court hearing...
I just appeared in court. I have been released."
