Yarkadaş made the following statements regarding the matter:
"Emir Sarıgül is not even meeting with his father. Mustafa Sarıgül attempted to initiate a meeting, but Emir Sarıgül did not accept any of them; he has severed all ties with the Sarıgül family. He reportedly tells those who visit his home: 'I did what was necessary for my state and my nation, and I have told everything I know.'"

"Yes, Emir Sarıgül wants to change his surname. He will change it to Köksaloğlu, which is his grandfather's surname. He has applied to the court regarding this; he will take his mother's maiden name through his lawyer. His mother is the daughter of the late Republican People's Party deputy Abdurrahman Köksaloğlu."
