27 Ağustos 2024 tarihinde Sözcü Gazetesi – Saygı Öztürk tarafından yazılan “BM Raporu: SADAT, ambargoyu deldi 5 bin Suriyeliyi Libya’da eğitti!” başlıklı bir haber yayınlandı.

6 Temmuz 2020 tarihinde BM Libya Yaptırımları Komitesi Uzmanlar Paneli (Bilirkişi Heyeti) şirketimize bilgi talebi içeren bir yazı göndermiştir. Yazıda özetle Libya konusunda BM’nin ambargosu ve yaptırımlarının söz konusu olduğu, SADAT’ın bu yaptırımları deldiğine dair bazı gazete haberleri üzerine konuyu araştırdıklarını ve Libya’daki faaliyetlerimizi raporlamamızı talep etmişlerdir. Şirketimiz 29 Temmuz 2020 tarihli cevabi yazısında Libya’da yürüttüğü güncel bir faaliyet olmadığını dolayısıyla Libya Hükümeti veya hükümet dışı her hangi bir yapıya eğitim vermediğini, 2012-2013 yıllarında yürüttüğü faaliyetlerinde ambargo kapsamına girmediğini bildirmiştir.

We were interviewed by many magazines, newspapers and agencies about the false news about our company that appeared in French news agencies in May. Below are our answers to the questions asked by Matteo Giusti from L'Espresso.


Mr. Matteo Giusti

L'Espresso

Thank you for your interest in our company. I have tried to answer your questions as comprehensively as possible. Please feel free to ask more questions if you feel the need.

There are many news stories about our company, but 90% of them are made without contacting us and without investigating the truth of the matter. Therefore, such news stories contain completely untrue claims. For this reason, I would like to emphasize that I find your behavior as a real journalist admirable, compared to the news stories that some French news agencies have published without questioning their truth.

Moving on to your questions;

1) When and for what purposes was SADAT born?

SADAT Defense was established in 2012 by Retired General Adnan TANRIVERDİ to provide consultancy, training and logistics services to the armed forces and security forces in the field of defense and security; It is a commercial entity with the status of a Incorporated Company according to the Turkish Commercial Code.

Adnan Tanrıverdi resigned from the management of the company in 2016, as he was appointed as the Senior Advisor to the Presidency of Turkish Republic and a member of the Security and Foreign Policy Board.

I find it useful to explain some of the issues in this sentence. Because SADAT Defense is a company with ethical values, operating in accordance with its founding philosophy, and having a mission and vision.

What is France pursuing?

Agence France Presse – AFP and then Le Monde, have published false news about SADAT carrying out paramilitary activities since May. The news was broadcast by many news channels all over the world. The news includes similar claims that SADAT took/paid around 1,000 Syrian paramilitaries to Niger for gold mine security. However, these news were made despite the fact that we have declared many times for 12 years that we do not carry out paramilitary activities and that our field of activity is military consultancy and training services.

Agencies made the news without asking SADAT about its authenticity. The principle of objectivity of the press was disregarded. Our friends from Africa, who did not want to give their names, called and sent messages claiming that "the agencies received instructions and that the important thing is not to reveal the truth but to create perception ". I couldn't help but ask the question “What does France aim for with this instruction given to the agencies?”. The sources, who did not want to be named, stated their claims in one fell swoop.

An African friend of mine, who did not want to give his name, said:
