CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS: I DID NOT SAY THAT

It drew attention that Atasoy rejected his statements in the records during the hearing by saying, "I did not say that. I did not read my statements; they made me sign."

Here is the relevant part of Ramazan Atasoy's statement;

• Psychologist: I understand. What would you like to say about that conversation on that day? What will you say about this conversation on August 21?
• Ramazan Atasoy: He is my boss. The hose bursts when the water pressure is high...
• Presiding Judge: Ramazan, it is stated that you cursed Salim and said something when you were arrested. The gendarmerie has prepared such a record. Can you ask about this?
• Psychologist: A record has been made stating, "It happened because of you." You also stated, "Both of his feet were wet as if they had entered the water." What do you say?
