The statement of Deniz Göktaş, whose video garnered 9 million views in just a week, has surfaced.
Comedian Deniz Göktaş has come under investigation following the release of his show 'Dead Sea' on YouTube. The investigation, led by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, accuses Göktaş of 'insulting the President' and 'inciting hatred and hostility among the public'.
The statement of Deniz Göktaş, who was taken into custody, has surfaced. According to a report by Ceylan Sever from Habertürk, Göktaş has denied the accusations.
Here is the complete statement of Deniz Göktaş:
'The content shared here is posted by me. The person featured in the video under investigation is from my standup show, which took place at the Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Theatre on June 1, 2026.
This video was uploaded and shared on the aforementioned Youtube channel by me. The script for this standup show was prepared by me in advance.
I have absolutely no intention of 'Insulting the Religious Values Adopted by a Certain Segment of the Society,' which is the accusation directed at me. This show is part of a series I have been performing in various cities across Turkey for about three years. Over 100,000 spectators have watched this show, and none of them have complained about feeling offended by this part.
Throughout the show, I discuss a wide range of topics, not just religion, but also various political views and popular figures.
I don't say anything offensive here either. I'm simply stating that it's my favorite book. The phrase 'There's a problem with the translation' is a reference to the interpretation debates I've been hearing for years. I have absolutely no intention of hurting a religious person's feelings; I would be upset if I heard such a comment from a spectator in my daily life.
I have no intention of insulting the President in any way. The term 'dictator' is a political label and is frequently debated openly in the public sphere.
It's just a word like 'democrat' or 'autocrat.' Throughout the show, my humorous approach to popular figures, ideologies, and sociological events related to Turkey is simply that, a humorous approach, and I have no other intentions. I do not accept the charges leveled against me.'
