Is Turkey importing pork from Sudan? The expected statement has arrived.

İYİ Party Member of Parliament Turhan Çömez made a brand new claim regarding the discussions about pork meat. Çömez stated that Turkey made an agreement to import pork meat from Sudan 5 months ago, and following his claim, an official statement was released by the Disinformation Combat Center regarding the issue.

IT BECAME A SUBJECT OF DEBATE

Çömez's claim has caused a significant stir, especially after recent news and discussions about the presence of pork meat in food products. According to the claim, Turkey is importing pork meat from Sudan with zero customs duty, leading to a wide-ranging debate on social media platforms.

In his social media post, Çömez alleged that Turkey made an agreement for the import of pork meat from Sudan with zero customs duty 5 months ago. This claim further fueled the discussions, especially following rumors that pork meat was found in the products of a famous meatball seller.

CLAIMS DENIED

Following the rapid spread of the claims, the Disinformation Combat Center issued a statement declaring that this claim is baseless. In the official statement, it was said, "The claims shared from some social media accounts and reported in the press that 'pork meat is being imported from Sudan' are completely false."
