The first action of Mustafa Varank after being assigned as Minister of Industry and Trade was to bring a media blackout on the news related to himself. Assigned as minister on July 9th, Varank banned access to news published on four websites, including Evrensel and Cumhuriyet, dated 2014. The banned content involved voice tapes allegedly belonging to Varank together with the allegations that “he has ordered AKtrolls of Erdoğan to tweet supporting him” and “allowed for arms transfers with Turkish Airlines planes.”
