“I’d like to share with you my statement on the matter, which has been making headlines since last Friday and has given rise to several accusations.
I want to express my sincere regret for the incident I had with Nilperi Ahinkkaya, her partner Emre Yusufi, and her friend Deniz Aknc in the hotel where we were staying before the festival, which caused me to hurt my friends in a way I did not intend. I tried to contact them directly, both through my manager and myself, to apologise promptly and in person the next morning after a fairly difficult night, but I was unable.
In addition to my behaviour not setting an example for society, I would like to apologise to Nilperi Ahinkaya and her friends as well as to everyone else who witnessed the incident that evening. I would also like to reiterate how sorry I am for bringing up such a sensitive topic in public.”
