RTÜK Chairman Ebubekir Şahin emphasized the need to be cautious against misleading statements reflected in the public recently.

In his statement regarding the penalties imposed on Sözcü TV and Halk TV, Şahin noted that these sanctions were applied as a result of ongoing serious violations of broadcasting despite constructive warnings.

Şahin reminded that RTÜK's principle decisions are transparent and that all broadcasters should comply with the law, stressing that disinformation should not be trusted.

He stated that the portrayal of these sanctions as if they were imposed suddenly by certain politicians and media organizations does not reflect the truth.

Şahin invited all broadcasters to broadcast in accordance with the law and relevant regulations, emphasizing the need for caution in this process.
