I knew that Kenan Tekdağwas amalicious and dangerousperson.Because I knew thatEla Rümeysa was moving from TV100 channelto Show TV, I warnedher. I told her that Kenanwas evil, dangerous, and hadshady connections. Because of that,I told her. Therefore,I warned her.I may have sent messages regarding Kenan Tekdağ. 'Itwas an amazing thing, thatgather it from the garden and bring it to me next time' messageis, again, a joke we developed between ourselves as a metaphor based on lines from a movie we watched. I absolutely cannot haveanything to do with such a thing. In fact, the last time I spoke to Ela Rümeysa was a few weeks ago, before the first detentAfter he was taken into custody and released, I also sent agetwell soon message.

He replied to me saying, 'Believe me, Idid not do such a thing.' If we had used drugstogether, he would have told mehe wouldn't give such an answer. I replied to him saying, 'I want to believe you' I had answered in that way. I have only one addiction in this life, and that is sports.

I used them as far as I can remember. I do notthink that thesecontained any narcoticactivesubstances.In the room used as a guest room in my house in Istanbul, inside a glass jar

there wasinside it werevarious medicines of mydaughter. Mostlikely the residues on the glassare the dust from thesemedicines. This will already be understood as a result of the examination. In the search conducted at my house in Assos regarding the substances found, I called thedomestic staff working at that house. I asked them what these were. I had hosted the women's basketball team at my house in Assos approximately 20days ago. A lot of flies hadcome into the garden. To keep these flies away,I had bought somelavender-scented products.I believe the first test may have been a false positive.for lavender or derivative leaves in the form of at homethe domestic worker burned them, hestated.Later, after having a barbecue, bees came.

To drive the bees awayagain at homeThe domestic worker burned coffee. The seizedsubstances are residues from burning coffee, lavender, and sage.Regarding the question about the results of the initial testconducted on the substances indicating the presence of drugs,my defense isthat the first test of this substance was positive possibly.may have come out positive.
