The President of the Communications Directorate, Fahrettin Altun, stated, "Every unfounded accusation directed at TRT is merely an attempt to distort the truth, and such allegations have no credibility in the eyes of the public."
Fahrettin Altun emphasized in a post on his social media account that TRT has been one of Turkey's most cherished institutions since its establishment, contributing to public broadcasting.
STRONG REACTION TO ACCUSATIONS AGAINST TRT
Pointing out that TRT is one of the most reputable organizations that has gained the trust of the nation with its impartial and principled broadcasting in line with national interests, Altun stated, "Every unfounded accusation directed at TRT is merely an attempt to distort the truth, and such allegations have no credibility in the eyes of the public."
"A CHEAP ATTEMPT"
Altun noted: "It is absolutely unacceptable for a politician, who is undergoing a trial process, to try to address personal grievances by attacking institutional values. Such unrealistic statements targeting TRT do not tarnish our institution; rather, they only deepen the disrepute of the speaker. Moreover, these kinds of irresponsible statements signify nothing more than a very cheap attempt to defame a public service that is being carried out properly in the eyes of our nation."
"OUR STRUGGLE FOR TRUTH WILL CONTINUE"
TRT, with its expert press workers in their respective fields, technological capabilities, and infrastructure, is a media organization that is cited as an example both in our country and internationally for providing accurate, principled, and independent news.
As the voice of Turkey in the world, TRT, which represents the truth on a global scale with its high-quality content produced in different languages, will never bow to such smear campaigns and slanders. We will continue to defend our citizens' right to access accurate news and to carry on our struggle for truth within the framework of our Turkey Communication Model."
