Nearly 58 thousand emails, that have been sent between 2000 and 2016 and show Albayrak’s tiess to Powertrans company that has done trade with ISIS, have been published. The 58 thousand emails were sent from Albayrak’s personal email account, and in several emails Albayrak discusses with his lawyers how to prove that he does not have any ties to Powertrans. In a statement, Wikileaks emphasized that Albayrak has been involved in companies such as Powertrans that have traded oil and other products with ISIS.

TRYING TO HIDE HIS TIES TO POWERTRANS

In one of the leaked emails, Albayrak discusses with his lawyer how to deny his institutional ties to Powertrans company, and his lawyer suggests that Albayrak uses the phrase "My client Berat Albayrak no longer has any ties to the mentioned company." In response, Albayrak says "What does this mean? I have no relation with these companies."

ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL SOCIAL MEDIA

In its statement, Wikileaks leaked the ties between the AKP and the ‘army of trolls’ that the AKP strengthened during the Gezi Resistance of 2013 in order to increase its influence in social media.

In an email from January 2016, Albayrak tries to ensure the sale of İpek Medya, which belonged to Gülen movement and was seized by the state, to AKP supporters.

GENOCIDE AGAINST KURDS

In its statement, Wikileaks said "The Turkish state restarted the political genocide against Kurdish people."
