INTERVIEW WITH TAYLAN'S LAWYER
Ozkan Polat who is the lawyer of the person known as Tarkan or Taylan went to the police station to get information. He said that the things written about Tarkan saying he works in LE is not true.
He is a normal and social person, university graduate, he did a masters abroad and lived lived in abroad for a while. Lawyer says "We, ourselves came here to give information to the police, gave all documents to them. Also Tarkan sent all the documents to her family. There is no emotional connection between Tarkan and SS. They only met twice for a short period."
The things written about Tarkan are disturbing. We provided everything police asked us. The reason that Tarkan didn't called the police the first day because the investigation is private and she will be found quickly.
We are very saddened and shocked from what happened.
PRESS: Is police is protecting Tarkan? Does he have privileges ?
No, we are all the same in front of law. Tarkan is a normal citizen. He is coming from a good family had a good education finished university went abroad for masters and lived there for a while. He and SS does not have a relationship.
He said "They met on IG 3-4 months ago and since than they spoke from time to time. SS decided to come to Turkey because she found it interesting. Taylan didn't invited her. She emailed him saying "I am coming to Turkey can we meet if you have time?" She mentions she wants to see other European countries. They meet face to face for a short time, Tarkans impression is she is just a normal tourist.
They only met for a coffee twice, both for a short time. On sunday she asks where should she visit? He says you can go to historical peninsula if you haven't been there. They decide to meet up. On monday they both leave their places to meet. She says earlier "only come if you want, don't feel like you have to I can go around by myself". The connection fails at one point. He goes to the bridge waits for her she doesnt show up and then he goes back.
PRESS: How is he?
"Very bad. We didn't understand it in the beginning. Expected her to show up at the beginning. Tarkan is here, he is not running away. He is not hiding anything. Only he doesn't want to be revealed to media.
He said Taylan expected SS will show up in the first 1-2 days and after that they decided to contact police .
(I still don't get if he or LE contacted first)
He said they are waiting for the DNA results. The evidence LE has showing there is nothing to be suspected from Taylan. If police had any suspicions about him we would be detained by now.
There were two sources, context was almost same but they had a different order. I used both.
