"HE HIT ME ON THE HEAD MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A HARD OBJECT"
Describing the incident, Enes T. said, "I have been a journalist in Kocaeli for many years. Today, I was attacked. I had attended the funeral of former MP Cemalettin Kaflı at the Çoban Mustafa Paşa Mosque in Gebze. At that moment, İYİ Party MP Lütfü Türkkan entered with a few people. I know one of them was from the management, and his name is Tekin Y. When he saw me, he called me to the outer door without any reason. There, next to the funeral vehicle, he started to assault me while hurling heavy insults. I was injured, and I am currently in the hospital. I also want to warn Lütfü Türkkan. How can a person next to him act like this towards me? I am filing a complaint. He hit me on the head multiple times with a hard object," he said.
"THERE IS NO POLITICAL DIMENSION"
After the incident, Tekin Y made a statement on his social media account, saying, "A few days ago, a person came to my shop wanting to buy a phone on credit. He said he was a journalist and that since I was involved in politics, it would be good for me to give him credit. I told him I couldn't do that. When we encountered each other at a funeral today, he started insulting me, saying he was looking for my weakness and threatening me by saying, 'You will fall into my hands.' Following this, a scuffle occurred between us. The whole incident is just this; it has no political dimension," he stated.
