Taşkın, asserting her innocence, stated that if she returns to Turkey, her statement should be taken and she should be released.
"IF I WERE GUILTY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FREE FOR YEARS"
Taşkın, who shared a post on her social media account, reacted to the judicial process by saying, "I don't know how much you believe it or not, but I am not guilty. Even if I return to my country, if there is a real justice system, they need to take my statement and release me again, because I have no crime." Taşkın, who expressed that she has faced similar processes for years, stated that she is tired of constantly giving statements.
Taşkın used the following expressions: "I don't know how much you believe it or not, but I am not guilty. Even if I return to my country, if there is a real justice system, they still need to take my statement and release me again because I have no crime. So there is no problem. I am just tired in Turkey. Constantly giving statements for no reason is exhausting. They have been taking my statement and releasing me for years. I have been regularly going to court for years. There are still more. It hasn't ended and it won't end.. But I know that what I say is in vain because you love to throw stones and make accusations without knowing.. What can I say.. Your only wish is for me not to be happy and to go to jail.. Because you are not happy yourselves, you want to ruin the lives of people who are trying to be happy.. God knows and sees everything. I trust God, there is nothing else I can say.."
THE BACKGROUND OF THE DECISION TO LEAVE TURKEY
Taşkın also explained that the psychological pressure she experienced was behind her decision to leave Turkey. In a previous post, she mentioned that she couldn't sleep at night, felt fear of the police every time a doorbell rang, and slept prepared for a possible detention. Emphasizing that she could no longer endure this situation, Taşkın revealed that she bought a one-way ticket abroad on her birthday.
"I AM TIRED, I AM EXHAUSTED"
Expressing that the process she experienced psychologically drained her, Taşkın narrated her departure from Turkey with the words, "I realized that I couldn't spend my days like this. Not trying at all and getting more exhausted every day made me feel bad."
STRONG REACTION TO CRITICISMS
Breaking her silence abroad, Taşkın also reacted to the criticisms directed at her. "You love to throw stones and make accusations without knowing. Your only wish is for me not to be happy and to go to jail," said Taşkın, expressing her discontent with the public reactions.
"I TRUST GOD"
At the end of her statement, Taşkın emphasized her faith, saying, "God knows and sees everything. I trust God, there is nothing else I can say."
