Statements by Soner Yalçın on Kurtlar Vadisi, Sağır Oda, and the Odatv Trial

Journalist and author Soner Yalçın shared lesser-known details about past intelligence, mafia, and politics relations, as well as the early period of Kurtlar Vadisi. Yalçın recounted the events surrounding the cancellation of the Sağır Oda series and the Odatv trial process.

The Birth and Background of Kurtlar Vadisi

While the TV series Kurtlar Vadisi began airing in 2003, its roots trace back to the chaotic environment of the 1990s and investigations examining state-mafia-politics relations. Beyond street-level hitmen, the power of underground money over politics and the media was laid on the table.

Concept Consultancy and Team Separation

Soner Yalçın served as a concept consultant during the initial period of Kurtlar Vadisi, which broadcast between 2003 and 2006. Having later parted ways with this team, Yalçın did not take part in the subsequently filmed projects of Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu.

The Sağır Oda Series and the Censorship Process

Stating that he brought the project Sağır Oda to life after leaving Kurtlar Vadisi, Soner Yalçın noted that the series focused on MOSSAD, Iraq, and regional showdowns. The project was removed from broadcast at the 34th episode as a result of the Mosul-Kirkuk dialogue and disagreements with the channel management of the period.

Taraf Newspaper Debates

Targeted by Taraf newspaper writers in 2009 over the first period of Kurtlar Vadisi, Soner Yalçın responded to the allegations with his previously published books. It was emphasized that claims of a connection to JİTEM and Ergenekon did not reflect the truth.

The Odatv Trial and Kaşif Kozinoğlu

Having served two years in prison within the scope of the Odatv trial during the FETÖ judiciary era, Soner Yalçın drew attention to the conspiracy processes during the hearings. An accounting was demanded regarding the situation of MIT official Kaşif Kozinoğlu, who lost his life in Silivri, and the tragedies experienced.
