Recently, CHP Chairman Özgür Özel's call for a boycott against certain media outlets has disturbed RTÜK President Ebubekir Şahin. Şahin stated that he strongly condemns the boycott call.

Özel reiterated his boycott call during a rally in Istanbul, targeting TRT and other media outlets. This situation has been viewed as an attempt to create polarization in the media.

Şahin emphasized that the boycott call is not a prudent approach, especially during a sensitive period for Turkey's security and diplomatic balances. He noted that systematically targeting the media harms press freedom.

RTÜK announced that they will monitor the channels that support the boycott and take necessary actions. The aim is to ensure that the public has access to accurate information during this process.

Many media organizations are included in CHP's boycott list. This situation may lead to unnecessary tension and division in society.
