Ziraat Bank, which could not collect its debt of 34 billion TL from Demirören, resorted to gendarmerie using drones to seize farmers’ tractors.

The 800 million dollar loan that Demirören Group received from Ziraat Bank to acquire Doğan Media Group has not been repaid. The bank’s receivables approached 34 billion TL.

According to the audit report submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly, the holding, whose debt was restructured twice and an interest rate reduction was applied, did not act in accordance with the payment plans. The debt receivable arising from the loan extended by the Istanbul Corporate Branch reached 33 billion 910 million liras.

I do not write the name of that village in Aydıncık. The old model car of Ö.D., who was a farmer in his village and suffered great damage from onions and potatoes, was confiscated due to his enforcement debt to the bank. Now it’s time for your tractor. When the citizen learned that the gendarmerie was coming, he got on his tractor and left his village.

The gendarmerie was told that Ö.D might be in the field, but no one had any information about which field he was in. Thereupon, the Gendarmerie flew a drone to determine the location of the tractor. The location of the tractor could not be determined.

Now, when the gendarmerie is coming to the villages, it is said “The gendarmerie is coming by drone” and those who are in charge inform each other. The news is also given to those working in the field. Of course, there are also those who are located and caught by the drone.
