Anadolu Agency and Erdoğan's accounts post photo of Tarık Akan instead of Attila İlhan

The winners of the 2023 Presidential Culture and Arts Grand Awards have been announced. 

In a post shared from the social media account of AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the winners were listed as Emel Sayın for the music award, and Atilla İlhan, Barış Manço, İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı, Muhsin Ertuğrul, and Samiha Ayverdi for the Vefa award.

An error was noticed in the post shared from Erdoğan's account. It was seen that in the shared image, Tarık Akan, who portrayed Attila İlhan, was used instead of Attila İlhan himself.

Upon noticing the error, the post on Erdoğan's account was corrected.

#TürkiyeYüzyılı I congratulate our artists, scientists, and cultural figures who are the recipients of the 2023 Presidential Culture and Arts Grand Award, crowning the pride of the 100th anniversary of our Republic with their contributions and achievements to the vision of the Century of Turkey.… pic.twitter.com/KPNVtMYOMp

The same mistake was made on the official account of Anadolu Agency. However, it was observed that no correction was made.
