STATEMENT FROM ISTANBUL GOVERNOR GÜL

Istanbul Governor Davut Gül said, "The issue is not about the concert. Unfortunately, three of our fellow citizens who went to the concert used different drugs. These were detected in the forensic reports. Therefore, a drug-related death occurred. There is no problem with the concert or the products eaten and drunk at the concert. Our Directorate of Agriculture took the samples. In addition, the judicial process continues since there were deaths and injuries.
