It was claimed that Tan Sağtürk had been dismissed... The truth turned out to be different

With a decision published in the Official Gazette yesterday, it was announced that Tan Sağtürk had left his post as General Director of the State Opera and Ballet (DOB). Sağtürk concluded his tenure in this position, which lasted nearly two years, following a meeting with Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy and moved to a new position.

Behind the scenes of the change in duty, it was suggested that Tan Sağtürk changed his position at his own request. Sağtürk's desire to spend more time with his children is cited as one of the primary reasons for taking on a different responsibility as an administrator.

REACTIONS AND POSTS REGARDING THE CHANGE IN QUESTION

İYİ Party Kocaeli Deputy Lütfü Türkkan shared striking details regarding the news about Tan Sağtürk in a statement on his social media account.

While praising Sağtürk's success in the field of art and his calm demeanor during his time as General Director, Türkkan emphasized that the claims of his dismissal did not reflect the truth.

In his post, Türkkan stated the following:

"Tan Sağtürk was a successful artist who did his job well and a good General Director with his non-sensational attitude. I was also saddened by the news that he had been dismissed. However, the truth behind the 'Tan Sağtürk has been dismissed' news is as follows: According to the information I received, there is no dismissal; there is a change of position by his own consent. The artist, who is in a period where he needs to spend more time with his children, will continue his duty in a higher-level administrative position focused on coordination and project development, rather than the General Directorate role which requires being active in the field."

It has been learned that Tan Sağtürk will continue to develop projects as a higher-level administrator under the DOB umbrella in the coming period. With the change in duty, it was stated that the artist will focus more on corporate coordination and project production in his new position.
