Faruk Turgut’s interview with İzzet Çapa sparked major controversy and was met with heavy backlash from Can Yaman, after the producer stated, "I would never shoot another series with him." Can Yaman’s scathing remarks quickly became the talk of the town. Today, Faruk Turgut's camp issued their official response to Yaman:
First of all, I condemn this statement of yours, which does not suit the schools you attended in Turkey or the artistic identity you claim for yourself. The fact that you have repeatedly expressed your dislike for Turkey in the past has clearly been reflected in your attitude toward me as well. Although I do not prefer to respond to this kind of language, I feel the need to correct the lies and inaccuracies.
While, as a producer, I was helping an actor shine within a project, your insatiable attitude during the preparation period for your Disney project reached a point where I no longer wanted to deal with it. That is why I did not want to work with you. I informed both you and Disney of this at the time, and after a project preparation process that lasted around 10 months, I decided to cancel the project.
“You Are a Lawyer. If You Had Rights, Why Didn’t You Claim Them?”
I did not receive a single penny of the payment you claim I took to "release" you at the end of that period. If I were the terrible producer you claim I am, why did you do your second project, Bay Yanlış, with me again right after Erkenci Kuş? One has to wonder.
“Yes, I Cut You Loose”
My connections are not so cheap that I would try to sell a project to Disney using your name without your involvement. I have been in this industry for 45 years; I am a man of my word and I stand by it. The real reason I abandoned the project I planned to do with you and Disney was because you said, "Are there even any good screenwriters or directors in Turkey? Let's bring them from abroad," and because you made me spend months meeting with the manager of your Italian girlfriend at the time so she could act in the series.I realized right then and there that we couldn't walk the same path. So yes, I cut you loose. I didn't "lose" you to anyone; I sent you packing because of your own attitude.
“I Have Never Taken Anyone’s Rights”
I do my job with the exact same respect for my 200-person crews as I do for my entire cast; I don't force my crews and actors to cater to a single person's ego. Today, I understand perfectly well just how right my decision was years ago, and I am only more grateful for it.

Three full years... If I really didn't pay your international syndication shares as stipulated in your contract, you are a lawyer—why didn't you legally demand them? One has to ask.

I look at what is said to see if it's worth hearing, and I look at who is saying it to see if he's truly a man... A real man would ask these questions face-to-face. I don't ask, but when I am asked, I answer with absolute clarity. If I was truly such a bad person, why was I constantly sought out and called up by you right until this interview? That is what I am asking myself now.
Naturally, I will now hand this matter over to the justice system—this horrific tone, these insults, and this false accusation of cheating someone out of their money, when I have never wronged a single person in my entire life.
