Ferhat Aydoğan, who introduces himself as a press advisor to Alaaddin Çakıcı and claims to be a journalist, shared posts on his social media account regarding his visit to Gaziantep.
Birgün reporter İsmail Arı reacted to the images, in which Aydoğan stated that he visited Gaziantep Deputy Police Chief Dursun Terzi and Provincial Director of Environment and Urbanization Hakan Şimşek in their offices.
In his post, Arı quoted Aydoğan's post and expressed his reaction with the following words:
Interior Minister Yerlikaya had said that the necessary action was taken. Ferhat Aydoğan, the President of the AK Youth Hearths (AK Gençlik Ocakları) who was arrested by police pressing down on his head, has visited Gaziantep Deputy Police Chief Dursun Terzi in his office.
Is this how you took the necessary action, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya?
