RTÜK President Ebubekir Şahin made a statement regarding the calls for economic boycotts in traditional and social media through his social media account.

Şahin stated that the boycott calls target the national economy, saying, "The values and achievements of Turkey are being attempted to be shaken. However, this great nation will continue to stand by its labor, production, and values."

"THOSE SUPPORTING THE BOYCOTT ARE BEING MONITORED"

Şahin noted that they will continue to promote a broadcasting approach that respects national and spiritual sensitivities, drawing attention to Turkey's strong media structure, stating, "The manipulative statements of some circles that are losing credibility in society will never achieve their goal of undermining our unity and solidarity. Channels and broadcasts that call for a boycott and support the boycott are being monitored by our evaluation experts, and necessary actions will be taken."

Şahin also expressed that those who wish to harm Turkey's common values are always doomed to lose.

A INVESTIGATION HAD BEEN INITIATED

CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, who supported the boycott call on April 2, stated, "I invite everyone to participate in this boycott and use their power from consumption. The nation is the true owner of the state."

In a statement made by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, it was reported that an investigation was initiated ex officio regarding the economic boycott calls in traditional and social media for the crimes of 'hate and discrimination' and 'inciting the public to hatred and hostility.'
