Bülent Arınç criticized the government media during a recent program. He stated that the individuals in this media have harmed the AKP. These criticisms raise questions about the media relations of the ruling party.

Arınç said, "These are very pathetic people. They may try to show themselves close to the AK Party, but the biggest harm comes from those who engage in verbal gymnastics in this media." These remarks sparked discussions about the future of government media.

He also reacted strongly to a news article by Yeni Akit Newspaper regarding the detained Beylikdüzü Mayor Murat Çalık, calling it "a shameless newspaper lacking morals and decency."

Arınç stated, "Murat Çalık is not just a turnip. Talk to me in terms of law." These statements reveal the depth of discussions within the AKP.
