Abdullah Adır, the lawyer for Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek, issued a written statement regarding the allegations previously raised by TİP İstanbul MP Ahmet Şık.
Adır argued that Şık had been asked to provide concrete information and documents to support his claims, but that no such evidence has been presented to date.
The statement announced that a criminal complaint has been filed against Ahmet Şık and a compensation lawsuit has been initiated due to the posts in question.
Due to his baseless posts that do not reflect the truth, a criminal complaint has been filed and a compensation lawsuit has been initiated against him. The slanders and insults of this despicable person, who cannot prove his claims, are not being taken as a counterparty by us. The necessary response will only be given before the law.
Adır concluded his statement with the phrase, "Respectfully announced to the public."
