Babacan's striking remarks on drug operations: 'Even if they are famous...'

Democracy and Progress Party (DEVA) Chairman Ali Babacan made significant statements regarding the recent increase in drug use and operations targeting celebrities. Babacan expressed that he personally witnessed the sale of prohibited substances in front of schools in Ankara's Etimesgut district.

Babacan said, "In Ankara, in Etimesgut, I saw with my own eyes that substances were being sold in front of primary schools. This situation is unbelievable. Ask the local shopkeepers, they will tell you too. Yes, operations are being carried out, but we have not yet seen a serious change in the field."

OPERATIONS TARGETING CELEBRITIES

Touching upon the drug operations conducted against famous figures, Babacan stated, "Recent operations show that no one in Turkey is untouchable. Operations can be conducted and arrests can be made for anyone who does wrong, even if they are famous. However, how does society perceive this situation? Is it seen as a reflection of a war between cliques? This needs to be evaluated separately."
