President Erdoğan replied to the criticism of one student, who participated in the suhoor programme organized at the Presidency complex in Beştepe, Ankara on ‘press freedom.’ “You are as free to be able to ask such a question to a President at his own place,” Erdoğan said.
After the student reminded him of journalists who were arrested or dismissed from profession, Erdoğan said, “If one is insulting the President or the Prime Minister, this is not freedom… If a journalist is arrested in accordance with the law, are you still going to call that ‘the freedom of the journalist’? Who tells you that journalists are not free? Prove me.”
