Striking remarks from Barış Pehlivan about Furkan Torlak: He thinks he can intimidate me with his hitmen

Pehlivan responded to the allegations of "persistent stalking" circulating about him on social media.

Noting that a decision of non-prosecution had been issued regarding the allegations, Pehlivan stated, "Furkan Torlak, the unofficial Press Advisor to the Minister of Justice, whose schemes I have been exposing for some time…

Furkan Torlak, who previously resigned from his post at the Presidency because his name was involved in a group sex and drug case…

Furkan Torlak, who now uses the authority he holds for the underhanded operations he has carried out repeatedly…

Now he thinks he can silence, frighten, and intimidate me with his hitmen. I did not surrender to your masters. I will never surrender to you," he said. 

Noting that a decision of non-prosecution had been issued regarding the allegations, Pehlivan said, "I have never harassed or stalked anyone. Even your own prosecutors issued a decision of non-prosecution regarding me. My innocence has been confirmed. That is the truth." 

"I DID NOT SURRENDER TO YOUR MASTERS"

"Everyone who voices this lie is despicable, dishonorable, and base. I do not deal with hitmen, but with those who hold their leashes," Pehlivan said, continuing as follows:

"Furkan Torlak, the unofficial Press Advisor to the Minister of Justice, whose schemes I have been exposing for some time… Furkan Torlak, who previously resigned from his post at the Presidency because his name was involved in a group sex and drug case… Furkan Torlak, who now uses the authority he holds for the underhanded operations he has carried out repeatedly… Now he thinks he can silence, frighten, and intimidate me with his hitmen. I did not surrender to your masters. I will never surrender to you. If you have the courage, come face me yourselves!"
