Aycan Taliman: "Police Told Me 'Don't Cry, You'll Pit the Military Against the Pakistanis!'"

Taliman also alleged that the accident suspect, 22-year-old Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) member Mehmet Eren Erdoğan, was quickly sent back to Turkey. She expressed frustration over not receiving any condolences from military officials, stating, "They only know how to smuggle soldiers."

"I Wish I Had Been There; We Wouldn't Have Lived Together, but We Would Have Died Together"

Reflecting on the accident, Taliman lamented not being present at the scene. "I wish I had been there; we wouldn't have lived together, but we would have died together," she said. She described how friends woke her up at around 3:30 AM to inform her about Naveed's accident, initially thinking it was a joke and not realizing the gravity of the situation.

"No Information Given About Naveed's Condition"

Upon arriving at Cengiz Topel Hospital and encountering a large crowd gathered for Naveed, Taliman said that police and doctors did not provide her with any information about his condition. She later found out that Naveed had passed away at 2:00 AM, learning this several hours after his death.

"Police Acted Threateningly and Forced the Deletion of Footage"

Taliman criticized the police's behavior, recounting how an officer threatened her by saying, "You'll pit the Pakistanis against the military, don't cry," and walked towards her in a menacing manner. She also revealed that footage of this confrontation was forcibly deleted by the police.

"Erdoğan Would Have Faced Justice Here, But the Legal System in Turkey Is Different"

Expressing her frustration, Taliman mentioned that no official statements were made about the incident and that she learned about Naveed's death hours later. She accused Erdoğan's commanders of smuggling him to Turkey where he would face trial, noting, "If he had been tried here, lawyers would have done their best, but the legal system in Turkey is different."

"They Only Know How to Smuggle Soldiers"

Taliman noted that only members of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP) expressed condolences, criticizing military and other officials for not offering any sympathies. She bitterly remarked, "They only know how to smuggle soldiers."
