Tayyar said, "Ahmet Hakan is a journalist; he has no political responsibility. He will account to the public if he feels the need to do so in terms of professional ethics. However, a minister's luxury yacht vacation photo in the Greek islands is very disturbing."

“WAR, CRISIS, HIGH COST OF LIVING…
Deepening his criticism, Tayyar used the following expressions:
"While there is a war on our border, a massacre continues in Gaza, there are serious problems in the tourism sector, and the public is struggling with the high cost of living, a minister's luxury yacht vacation in the Greek islands is not pleasant at all. Whether you call it an 'interview meeting' or find another excuse for it; this image is unacceptable."

"In the past, such examples were very exceptional. Now they are multiplying like mushrooms. That is what is truly sad. We are entering a period where sensitivity in society is disappearing."
