There was an announcement on ODA TV, saying that either my companies or I owed money to Tuncay Özkan, the previous owner of Kanaltürk, for the purchase of his TV channel.

I have explained the situation several times, and here is my final explanation: Neither I nor my group of companies have engaged in any business with Tuncay Özkan. Therefore:

THERE IS NO CASE OR LEGAL DISPUTE AND THERE NEVER HAS BEEN

There was a case which we opened against the shareholders of Kanaltürk when the TV broadcasting and studio equipment wasn’t given to us after the purchase of KANALTURK. This case was concluded long ago and we won it.

I have already sent a detailed explanation to ODA TV. If they so wish, I can send it again.

It was clear that the reason why Kanaltürk was sold was because of its debts; there wereunpaid salaries andpurchases of goods and services, aVAT debt and other unpaid taxes.

No unjust penalty has been issued by the Ministry of Finance. All outstanding penalty charges were paid in full after we purchased Kanaltürk.

I don’t know the details of the case in which the expert witness was changed ten times.

However, it is worth asking oneself why the expert witness of a simple debt recovery case was changed ten times!
