The allegation that Fatih Altaylı, years ago, had Serap Çil, who used to work at Habertürk, beaten with a golf club, resurfaced with Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu's social media post. Serap Çil, who was mentioned in the fight between the two, expressed her dissatisfaction with Kılıçdaroğlu in her post, saying "Some support is meaningful when it is given in a timely manner. If you had supported me at the time, most likely you wouldn't be able to make these accusations against me today."
Years ago, there was a claim in the media that Fatih Altaylı had Serap Çil, who worked at Habertürk, beaten with a golf club. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu also referred to this issue in a social media post targeting Fatih Altaylı. After her name was mentioned in yesterday's argument, Serap Çil made a post expressing her dissatisfaction with Kılıçdaroğlu.
"SOME SUPPORTS ARE MEANINGFUL WHEN MADE ON TIME"
Serap Çil, who claims that Fatih Altaylı beat her with a golf club, not a baseball bat, stated the following: "First of all, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, I would like to make a correction: it was a golf club, not a baseball bat. If it had been a baseball bat, I would have suffered much more serious damage, thankfully it wasn't. Some supports are meaningful when made on time. If you had supported me on time, you probably wouldn't be able to make these accusations today. I hope that from now on, when every woman who has been subjected to violence needs you, you will be by their side. Thank you anyway.
"IT HAS BEEN 13 YEARS SINCE THE VIOLENCE I EXPERIENCED"
This is my first and final statement regarding the issue. It has been 13 years since the violence I experienced. During this time, whoever had a fight with Fatih Altaylı used my case as their cause. Although I was a very young and ignorant girl 13 years ago, I am now at an age where I am fully aware of everything. Violence against women should not be used as a weapon in your fights. Either you take a firm stand against violence or you remain silent on the dark side. During our legal process, there were very valuable politicians, lawyers, and journalists who unconditionally supported me.
"I WILL NOT TAKE SIDES IN YOUR DIRTY SETTLEMENTS"
There have also been people who tried to take advantage of the violence I witnessed and our legal process, and tried to use it as a weapon against Fatih Altaylı. I will not disclose your names because I do not belong to your dirty world. Especially among them, there are women who I am truly ashamed to mention. But if they experience the same violence, I will stand against it, not as a realist but as a fair person. I will not take sides in your dirty settlements. I wish everyone a clean conscience where they stand by the side of the victim of violence regardless of who the perpetrator is."
WHAT HAPPENED?
Former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and journalist Fatih Altaylı clashed with each other through their statements. Altaylı said about Kılıçdaroğlu, "He is working for the AKP knowingly or unknowingly, probably knowingly. He may have caused the bankruptcy of SSK with this recklessness, without even realizing it. He has no idea about Turkey, yet he wants to govern. You go and manage your own home if you can."
Kılıçdaroğlu's response was very harsh: "Donkeys can become men, but you can't. You are not a journalist, you are a journalist enemy who shows a baseball bat to a female journalist working with you, who says 'What could I do' while journalist massacre is taking place in the institution you work for, who is a servant of money. You are a triggerman under the command of money! If you cannot prove that I am an agent and collaborator, then you are dishonorable and despicable!"
