January 2016 controversy
editOn 8 January 2016, on an episode of Beyaz Show a woman who introduced herself as Ayşe Çelik called the program as a guest[3] and said: "Are you aware of what happened in eastern Turkey and in the southeast? Here unborn children, mothers and people are killed; a large fraction of these criminals are the state and military".[4] Öztürk's urging to people to applaud for this note brought about a lot of reactions. On the following day, 9 January 2016, Kanal D released a statement. It was stated that the person who had called the program had initially stated that she wanted to ask some questions from the artists present on stage, but instead she had done something totally different, trying to provoke a response from the guests and audience which was not the channel's intention.[5] According to the Ministry of National Education the person who called the program was a student.[6] Öztürk also appeared on the Kanal D news to discuss the issue. "I'm the child of a police", I'm amazed and sorry... I could not pay attention to what the caller was saying in live broadcast," he said[7] Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced that it was investigating Beyazıt Öztürk and Beyaz Show for spreading terror propaganda. It was stated that the person who had called the program during the live broadcast was also included in the investigation.[8] On 11 January 2016, the person was found living in Diyarbakır and was taken into police custody. Ayşe Çelik was released after being questioned by the police.[9] After all these events, Beyaz Show's new episode aired on 15 January 2016, with Öztürk pointing to his heart in his opening speech and saying: "I vaguely thank the people who know me by their heart".[10] In the following hours, a group of audience started chanting 'Ayşe Öğretmen is not alone' during the live broadcast, and they were removed from the studio.[11] As a result, Öztürk ended the program earlier than usual.[12]
