Journalist Uğur Dündar had announced that he was leaving the newspaper Sözcü. Following his departure, Dündar was criticized by Yılmaz Özdil, who was brought in to lead Sözcü. Dündar gave his response using the archives. Dündar shared that article in which Özdil described him as the doyen of journalism as follows:
"The compliments Uğur Dündar receives are not enough; Turkey is in his debt. Having worked so closely with Uğur Dündar is a legacy I will leave to my daughter.
He is the ZEUS of this business...
Uğur Dündar is a person who should be an example not only with his profession but also with his lifestyle. He doesn't just care about himself. For example, he also puts great effort into ensuring I live a healthy life..."
Yılmaz ÖZDİL"
WHAT DID ÖZDİL SAY?
Özdil had used the expression, "It is shameful for those who should be doting on their grandchildren to pretend to be heroic journalists on TV."
