HE RESPONDED TO THE "MOST SERIOUS" CLAIM
Details drawing attention from Kuris's statement to the prosecutor continue to surface. One of the most serious claims directed at Kuris during the prosecution was the statement of Rustem Sahin, which was included in the file.
In Sahin's statement, it was claimed that after Kuris took over the leadership of the structure, he pressured members of the community, especially the managers of commercial institutions and dormitories, regarding "absolute obedience" and managed the structure through a group of names close to him.
Alihan Kuris, who responded to this claim at the prosecutor's office, said he did not know Rustem Sahin and defended himself with the words, "I absolutely do not accept this statement. It is a slander against me, a figment of the imagination."
