Executive Elif Güven, she was on annual leave, vacationing with her mother. As soon as she received the news, she rescheduled her return ticket to an earlier date. However, due to her mother's distress, she had to go to the hospital and missed her first flight. She returned to Istanbul by purchasing a new ticket. The decision against her was implemented during passport control. It was not a detention, but a routine procedure."
