Van Bar Association’s criminal complaint against Didem Arslan Yılmaz, who said “This is the Republic of Turkey” while taking the broadcast from the broadcast on the grounds that he insulted his Kurdish-speaking guest, resulted in non-prosecution.
While Van Bar Association took off the air on the grounds that he insulted his Kurdish-speaking guest in the program broadcast on Show TV, “No no Türkan Hanım Türkan lady Let’s take it off the line. He can’t insult girls, he can’t speak like that, I understand a little, and I definitely can’t speak Kurdish. Talk to your aunt, if she speaks Turkish properly, we will understand. This is the Republic of Turkey. We do not know that language, if we knew it, we would understand and talk about it. I don’t know,” said Didem Arslan Yılmaz.
According to the news of Salih Sertkal from Gazete Sahne, in the petition submitted to the Van Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, Yılmaz’s “hate crime” and “public humiliation” The prosecutor’s office, which evaluated the application made on the grounds that he committed the crime, decided not to prosecute.
In the criminal complaint made by the Van Bar Association Language Commission, the following points were noted: he had died.
“As if the presenter implied that speaking a language other than Turkish is forbidden in the Republic of Turkey, it is a crime for people of other races to speak another language and there is a price for it. As will be seen within the framework of the investigation to be carried out by your prosecutor’s office, it will become clear that the suspect publicly insults a race, a language and even contempts it through the press. After the suspect’s hatred of the Kurdish language, thousands of people reacted to this hate speech both socially and on social media. We demand that the suspect be punished within the framework of an investigation to be carried out ex officio by your prosecutor’s office, due to a strong national response and hate speech against the Kurdish language in general and the Kurdish people in particular.”

“IF WE SPEAK TURKISH, WE WILL UNDERSTAND”
Didem Arslan Yılmaz, who stated that she knows Kurdish and Understands insults, interrupted Taşçı’s speech. Yılmaz said the following:
“No no, Ms. Türkan, we also need to understand. Let’s get Ms. Turkan off the line. He can’t insult girls, he can’t talk like that, I understand a little bit, I definitely can’t speak Kurdish. Talk to the aunt, we will understand if she speaks Turkish properly. This is the Republic of Turkey. We do not know that language, if we knew we would understand and speak it. Didem Arslan Yılmaz, who stated that she did not have a reaction to Kurdish, said that the person she took from the broadcast hurled insults. Yılmaz, who made a long statement on his social media account, shared articles in articles.
Here is Didem Arslan Yılmaz’s statement:
1- Hayriye Taşcı, who came to our broadcast yesterday from Urfa, said, “His father is abducting my 4-month-old baby, help me “, and her older sister Ayfer Taşcı joined our program. The girls were afraid of being killed by saying that they were threatened by their families.
2- While the broadcast was going on, the girls’ aunt Türkan wanted to join the broadcast. He spoke fluently in Turkish with his nephews, first insulting the girls in Turkish. Then she suddenly said she wanted to talk to the girls in Kurdish.
3- Hala Türkan did not want me and my audience to understand her talking to girls. She wanted to hide what was being said by speaking Kurdish to her nephews. Your aunt did not request an interpreter from us beforehand.
4- I didn’t mind Türkan lady because she is Kurdish. I took it off the air because he insulted and cursed his nephews. If that were the case, I wouldn’t host your nephews on the broadcast.
5- I cannot have a reaction to Kurdish. I don’t have any expression as eastern language in the broadcast….
6- If Hala Türkan wanted to speak in Arabic, if she had wanted to speak in English, I would have shown the same reaction. Because we needed to know what she said, I was worried about the safety of the girls.
7- I am the daughter of a family from Sivas. It is completely ridiculous to claim that I discriminate between the east, west, north and south of my country, and especially to say that I make an ethnic distinction.
8- The purpose of those who started lynching as if there was a political debate by serving only 10 seconds of the broadcast is “to scratch the fault lines of the country” Note: By the way, I have no problem with those who speak Kurdish, I apologize to our hurt citizens.
