Former Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said, “550 negative columns have been written about me in the last 10 months. Friends like Timur Soykan, Murat Ağırel and Fatih Altaylı are not aware of what they serve.”
Fatih Altaylı reacted to Soylu with very harsh words. Altaylı said, “First, I am not his friend, he cannot talk about me as a friend, he should know his place and not make me angry. I thought that Süleyman Bey was an intelligent person, I saw that I was wrong. Intelligent people understand what they watch and listen to. Either Süleyman Bey has not watched the broadcast, or he will understand it when he watches it.” He doesn’t have the capacity. I wondered if I protected Süleyman Soylu too much after the broadcast? I didn’t want everything to be attributed to Süleyman Soylu. It is wrong to make anything negative out of this broadcast; this is the first time in ten months that something so clear has been said in his favor. It means that you have a problem with your eyes and ears so that you cannot see.
A journalist named Fatih Altaylı said last time, I have no objection to him, but I am not his friend. After this broadcast, Süleyman Soylu called one of the friends who participated in the broadcast and said that he had the right to reply, and that friend said, ‘Fatih Bey’s broadcast is open to you.’ Süleyman Bey said, ‘Let me think about it.’ Let him come and explain it however he wants. “We have neither fear nor hesitation.”
