First comment from İsmail Küçükkaya after his dismissal from tv100

İsmail Küçükkaya, who transferred to tv100 after leaving Halk TV, spoke for the first time regarding the termination of his employment during the second week of his program.

Küçükkaya had hosted CHP Chairman Özgür Özel on his first program at tv100, and most recently welcomed CHP MP Mustafa Balbay. Küçükkaya's employment was terminated after Balbay shared a message from the imprisoned presidential candidate and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu.

The channel management also terminated the position of Ebru Baki, the host of the "Para Manşet" program, alongside Küçükkaya. In a post on his social media account, Küçükkaya stated, "I tried. It didn't work out. That's how life is. Sometimes it doesn't happen. I am not blaming anyone. Not even myself. Everyone had good intentions." His post also included a photograph from the "Poets' Square" in Montenegro.
