After the call for a 'boycott', actress Aybüke Pusat, who was removed from the cast of the series 'Teşkilat' aired on TRT, is maintaining her silence. However, for the first time, a statement has come from the series' production side. Producer Timur Savcı addressed the process of the actress's removal from the show and said, "TRT offered Aybüke an option, but Aybüke did not take advantage of that option."
After the boycott post, actress Aybüke Pusat was removed from the cast of the series 'Teşkilat' broadcasted on TRT. Since that day, the actress has maintained her silence, while the producer of the Teşkilat series, Timur Savcı, spoke for the first time about Aybüke Pusat's exclusion from the cast.
"THIS WAS OUR LAST MINUTE NEWS" Savcı stated, "This was TRT's economic decision, and TRT quickly made a statement. We found out through a last-minute link. In fact, Aybüke was in the office, saying we need to manage this issue correctly. There were those who wanted to turn it into something directly related to us, but when an actor from a boycotted channel says 'boycott this channel, don't watch it,' they naturally had difficulty understanding this," he said.
"TRT CONTRACTS ARE PRIVATE CONTRACTS" Timur Savcı continued his remarks: "Today, the entire market and journalists know. If you are working with TRT, it is a state channel, and they say, 'please do not share anything related to any social or political issue, whether positive or negative, red or white.' Because they look at it this way, it is the state's channel. They are careful not to upset, anger, or overly please any side. And TRT contracts are private contracts; if you accept this beforehand, you work under those terms. So there is no problem here."
Aybüke Pusat "THEY ARE CREATING AN EXTRA 'VICTIM' SITUATION" In response to Aslı Şafak's question, "Will you give Aybüke a role in another series?" producer Timur Savcı said, "There is no reason for us to have a problem with Aybüke. Even during the time Aybüke was leaving, we managed the processes by talking to the entire team and the actors about their feelings and what they wanted to do. Aybüke is a very successful actress we have worked with for years, and we previously worked with her in our series called Söz. We still keep in touch, and she still comes and goes to our office. But people are creating an extra victim situation. There is no such situation. This is TRT's natural preference, and there is nothing we can do about it; life is like that," he expressed.
"TRT OFFERED OPTIONS TO AYBÜKE" Producer Timur Savcı continued: "Aybüke stated that her intention was not political. TRT also offered options to Aybüke. They wanted her to share a statement explaining that her intention was not like that. However, Aybüke did not take advantage of that option. She had previous posts, and everyone, including TRT, tolerated them. The team members are also sad about this situation and are upset about being left in that position."
"I AM NOT A PARTY IN THIS FIGHT" Producer Timur Savcı said, "Social media is such a thing; some try to create heroes and some villains from there, but sooner or later, the truth will be understood. This is a matter that no one can justify. I do not see myself as part of these fights. There are 7-8 channels in Turkey, and I work with all 8 channels. There is no place I do not work; I am not a party," he stated.
