🇹🇷 #Turkey: Two armed attacks were carried out on the Otokoç General Directorate in Istanbul, and a Ford dealership in Antalya, with footage showing suspects recording themselves while they shoot at the business in Antalya.
During both attacks, threats were allegedly issued referencing Rahmi Koç, honorary chairman of Koç Holding, which operates Otokoç and is linked to Ford dealerships in Turkey.
The phrase “Rahmi Koç, greetings from brother Serdar Ertekin” was also heard in the footage, with the incidents allegedly linked to a criminal organization. Reports link the attacks to controversy surrounding remarks attributed to Koç after a joke involving a Kurdish woman.
