The controversy surrounding Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı, who triggered a mass resignation at Halk TV, continues. Most recently, the interview that caused the uproar on the channel has been removed from the YouTube channel.
Halk TV conducted an interview with Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı, which started with the statements of MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli and continued with the call of terrorist PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, and the channel suddenly became chaotic.
5 NAMES RESIGNED
Following the publication of the interview, first, Halktv.com.tr writer Serpil Yılmaz, and then the team of the program 'Kayda Geçsin' announced that Şule Aydın, Barış Pehlivan, Timur Soykan, and Murat Ağırel parted ways with the channel.
THE OWNER OF THE CHANNEL SAID "ACCIDENT"
The owner of Halk TV, Cafer Mahiroğlu, stated, "This is completely an accident. I was not aware that the interview was conducted. If I had known, I would not have approved it."
PROGRAM REMOVED FROM YOUTUBE
After the crisis grew increasingly, Halk TV removed the interview with Rasim Ozan Kütahyalı, which caused discussions within the institution and led to successive resignations. Those who want to watch the publication with the cover photo "Öcalan has refused to go home" are faced with the warning "Video not found" on YouTube.
