Within the scope of the investigation conducted by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office against the Ahbap Association, famous lawyer Feyza Altun gave a statement at the Istanbul Justice Palace. Altun's statement to the prosecutor's office has been revealed.
"WE APPRECIATED THE WORK OF THIS ASSOCIATION TO BE USEFUL DURING THAT PERIOD"
Feyza Altun used the following statements in her testimony: "Before expressing my feelings, I first want to state that I am very sad, disturbed, and angry emotionally. I became angry and upset as I heard about the actions or allegations. It was something I never expected. During the chaotic environment that emerged at that time, we appreciated the work of this association to be useful. Our aim was to show goodwill towards an organization we thought would benefit those in need or victimized people. I shared the tweet you asked me about regarding trust in state institutions with these feelings.
"I REGRET BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DISGRACE"
At this point, I see that this was a mistake. I regret being associated with this disgrace. I had not called for donations, nor had I made any donations. I have had no financial relationship. I was simply impressed by the field work I saw on social media, which inspired good ideas in me," she said.
