Taking the petition of the Presidency of Religious Affairs into consideration, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposed an administrative fine on HaberTürk, indicating that Celal Şengör insulted religious values during the “Teke Tek Bilim” (One to One Science) program, which is against the principles of broadcasting (August 17).
