Bloomberg / Newsroom

Thank you for your interest in our company. I will try to provide comprehensive answers to the questions you ask. Please do not hesitate to ask more if you deem necessary.

Although there are many news stories about our company, 90% of them are made without contacting us and without investigating the truth of the matter. Therefore, such news contains completely unrealistic claims. For this reason, I would like to emphasize that I find it admirable that you display real journalistic behavior, compared to the news that other French news agencies have made without questioning its reality.

First of all, I would like to give information about SADAT's field of activity and facts about SADAT;

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

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:
