BAYRAKTAR WARNED

Bayraktar had previously warned citizens against fraud attempts using his name and image on social media platforms and had used the following expressions:

"I would like to remind you once again that Baykar, which is not a publicly traded company, never makes investment offers or recommendations. Our legal processes regarding these types of fraud attempts are ongoing. I kindly request all our citizens to be careful against such content and not to give them any credence."
