The Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, Mansur Yavaş, made a statement regarding the claims that payments of 69 million, 71 million, and 80 million were made for the celebrations and concerts of the Republic Day on October 29.

After the allegations in question, Yavaş announced that the investigation he initiated has been completed and stated that he would make a statement regarding the matter on Monday, November 11, at 15:00.

CLAIM OF 'DOCUMENT EMERGED'

Following Yavaş's statements, it was claimed that a document regarding the concert of Ebru Gündeş, for which 69 million TL was allegedly paid, had emerged. The published document allegedly stated that an agreement was reached with Gündeş for a payment of 16 million 215 thousand TL for the concert.

CLAIM OF '52 MILLION TECHNICAL SERVICE'

The document stated that the remaining amount of 52 million 800 thousand TL would be paid for a total of 10 days of technical service at a daily rate of 5 million 280 thousand TL.

ABB DENIED: 44 MILLION PAID

In a statement made from the official social media account of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, the allegations were denied.

The municipality's statement included the following remarks: "Incorrect and misleading information is being circulated through some press publications and social media accounts. The claim that 69 million lira was given to Ebru Gündeş, who performed as part of the events for the 101st anniversary of our Republic, and the visual circulated alongside it has no relation to reality. The exact figure is not 69 million lira but '44 million 937 thousand 117 lira including VAT.' We remind you that this amount includes transportation, accommodation, the screen set up at Ebru Gündeş's request, sound system, stage setup, technical materials, and the expenses of nearly 100 employees.

The public will be informed in detail about the facts in a statement to be made by the Mayor of Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, Mansur Yavaş, on Monday at 15:00."
