Dr. Ali Haydar Fırat, who was appointed as CHP's 'Communications Coordinator' by the absolute nullity administration, targeted Halk TV with a reminder of 'the law' regarding its news titled 'Signature campaign launched: "I don't want Kılıçdaroğlu in my city!"'
In a separate post, Fırat said: 'We will all see in the coming days which cities we can and cannot enter, but what about the fact that your boss cannot enter the country, friends? Think about this while you continue your provocations and tensions... And does the figure 79,220,000.00 say something to you?' Halk TV chairman of the board Cafer Mahiroğlu responded to these statements.
Mahiroğlu wrote: 'Dear Kılıçdaroğlu; Today, one of your assistants targeted and threatened Halk TV. It is clear that he was influenced by the threatening language you initiated and emboldened by it. In his post targeting Halk TV over a news story, he also made an implicit reference to 79 million. That statement did not evoke any association in me. Give an order, let him stop speaking ambiguously and disclose the documents.'
As a Turkish citizen who believes in my country's thousand-year ancient tradition and is devoted to its unity and solidarity, I will not bow to your threats. Therefore, stop threatening and targeting us and respect independent journalism. Dear Kılıçdaroğlu; Today, one of your assistants targeted and threatened Halk TV. It is clear that he was influenced by the threatening language you initiated and emboldened by it.
