According to the appointment decision published with the signature of AKP President and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, theater and film actor Tamer Karadağlı became the General Director of State Theaters. After this development, Tamer Karadağlı was on the agenda of social media. There were those who congratulated the famous actor as well as those who criticized him.
“I will make the necessary explanations”
Karadağlı, who is curious about what he will say about his new duty, said in his statement, “I can't talk about anything right now. I am no longer Tamer Karadağlı; It is not right for me to say anything because I represent the institution. It is still very new. I will make the necessary explanations after a little time. The institution is at the forefront right now.”.
CHP reacts to appointment
CHP Group Deputy Chairman Ali Mahir Başarır criticized the appointment of Tamer Karadağlı as the General Director of the State Theatres at a press conference in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and said, “The State Theatres is not a dependent institution, according to the law, it is a semi-autonomous institution in a sense. For 50 years, we are talking about an institution that has been waiting for a regulation. We are talking about an institution that should be autonomous. Instead of bringing this law, we are bringing Tamer Karadağlı. Why? He loves the palace very much. He suddenly returned,” he said.
Our President Mr. @RTErdogan‘I would like to congratulate my colleague and brother Selim Terzi, who has been appointed as the General Director of Research and Education at the Ministry, and Tamer Karadağlı, who has been appointed as the General Director of State Theaters, and wish them success in their new positions.... pic.twitter.com/s6lIWlecZO
