A double salary scandal broke out in TRT, which was criticized for issues such as high-cost serials, nepotism and not giving the opposition the necessary time.. General Manager İbrahim Eren, who is at the center of the criticism, said that he received a salary of 15 thousand TL from TRT and 14.500 TL from Türksat.. Eren’s monthly income is 29,500 TL.. When asked how 4 people from the same family can work at TRT, he replied, “Human resources manage the processes”
CHP’s Atila Sertel, who was appointed as the Deputy General Manager, passed on the brother-in-law of Fatih Er when he was the TRT World manager. , reminded that he took his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law’s wife to TRT and said, “How do 4 people from a family enter TRT at once? What is it like when young people who are graduates of media and broadcasting college and speak 2-3 languages are unemployed?” he asked.
The General Manager said, “Fatih Er does not have such authority, he cannot take them; I have the authority. Now, the brother you call Resul Şimşek is a 25-year-old journalist, older than Fatih, everyone knows.. We got Furkan, he becomes his brother-in-law. Fatih doesn’t know either, by the way, Human Resources manages the processes.. When TRT World was established, we did not want to miss people who speak English and have journalism experience.. When you say his fourth relative, they met and got married at the institution, so there was no kinship.” Eren gave the following answer to the question about the “haremlik-selamlik” promotion exam: “It is definitely not true, the claim that TRT separates classes such as haremlik-selamlik.. It’s not true like this: it’s a great bullshit in our opinion, something that shouldn’t happen. The university organizes this, we asked the university. It’s not something to be random.. Now the university is conducting an investigation. It is said that ‘some of them were listed as ‘female/male’ while they were listing in Excel, there was a mistake.’ They also conduct an investigation within themselves, but what would TRT gain from this?”
“I will give a written response”
Akli Film, the producer of some of the TV series recently broadcast on TRT, was also discussed in the commission.
CHP’s Sertel stated that the company was in 2016. He reminded that it was founded and its only customer was TRT: “There is an Akli Film that only pays its bills to TRT.. It is claimed that he gave 2 million liras per episode to the TV series Awakening Seljuks, and 1.5 million liras to the Hay Sultan TV series. ”
The General Manager has stated that he will answer these questions in writing.
