In November, Aydın Aydın, who argued that artificial intelligence threatens many professions and will harm the music industry, climbed Mount Nemrut, which is under UNESCO protection, and smashed his saz in protest. This act drew the attention of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and an administrative investigation was launched into the folk singer.

This act, which Aydın carried out in an area containing 2,100-year-old historical artifacts, was placed under review on the grounds that it damaged historical artifacts. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism stated that those who damage immovable cultural assets that must be protected can be punished with imprisonment from two to five years and a judicial fine of up to five thousand days.
