Oğuzhan Uğur's new 'Haluk Levent' statement after backlash: 'Let me say it short and clear...'

Social media influencer and Babala TV host Oğuzhan Uğur has addressed criticism leveled against him for his coordination with the Ahbap association during the earthquake relief efforts. Uğur, who worked alongside Ahbap founder Haluk Levent, faced scrutiny after a judicial investigation was launched into the association's fundraising activities.

“

We are watching, like everyone else, for now. As developments occur, we will certainly make a clear comment.

Initially, Uğur stated on his X account that he was closely monitoring the situation. He acknowledged the serious allegations against Haluk Levent and emphasized the need for the truth to emerge, with every penny accounted for. "We are watching, like everyone else, for now. As developments occur, we will certainly make a clear comment," he had said.

“

There is a team openly cursing at me. Not criticizing, but directly cursing.

However, Uğur's initial statement was deemed insufficient by some on social media. Facing further criticism, he issued a new statement directly responding to those who had insulted him and his team. "There is a team openly cursing at me. Not criticizing, but directly cursing," Uğur said, adding that they had forgotten to delete their tweets supporting Ahbap. "I suggest you delete them. Then you can curse. Because no insult can surpass the feeling of betrayal I experienced."

If our struggle during that period, the steps we took to provide aid, and our relief efforts were misused, we will be at the forefront to demand accountability, without any ifs or buts, and we will initiate legal proceedings on our behalf.

In his more direct response, Uğur clarified his stance: "If our struggle during that period, the steps we took to provide aid, and our relief efforts were misused, we will be at the forefront to demand accountability, without any ifs or buts, and we will initiate legal proceedings on our behalf." He stressed that if a state-approved organization deceived him, his team, and those who trusted him for money, he would pursue the truth with all his might, despite the emotional devastation he would experience. Uğur also noted that he had donated to both Ahbap and AFAD, the state disaster agency, and called for donations to both. "If even a single penny of our hard-earned money has been compromised, the amount does not matter; it is a matter of 'right,' and we will fight for it. No one should have any doubts."
