Is alcohol sales scandal coming?

"Is the license received? Is an agreement with the beverage company? If it is true, will resign?"

MHP Beykoz İlçe Başkanvekili Salih Dursun, Beykoz’daki Poyrazköy ve Riva will sell alcoholic beverages on public beaches iddiaları üzerine sert bir basın açıklaması yaptı. Açıklamada Beykoz Belediyesi ve iştiraki BEYTAŞ hedef alındı.

Açıklama, 11 July 2025 tarihinde kamuoyuyla paylaşıldı.

İddiaların odağında İstanbul’un Beykoz ilçesinde bulunan Poyrazköy ve Riva plajları yer alıyor.

MHP'ye göre, Belediye iştiraki Beytaş A.Ş., To TAPDK (Tütün ve Alkol Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu) alkollü içki ruhsatı başvurusu yaptı. Ayrıca BEYTAŞ Genel Müdürü Kemal Taştan adına başvuru yapıldığı ve bir içki firmasıyla anlaşma sağlandığı da iddia edildi.

MHP, bu işlemlerin kamuoyundan gizlenerek yürütüldüğünü ve plajlarda that the sale of alcoholic beverages is wanted to be implemented with the order savundu. Parti, bunun şeffaflığa aykırı olduğunu belirtti.

Açıklamayı yapan isim: Salih Dursun, Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi Beykoz District Vice President. Dursun, Belediye Başkanı Mahir Taştan’a seslenerek şu soruyu sordu: "If we can't deny these allegations and prove it with their documents, will Mahir Stone resign from?"

Questions that MHP is waiting for an answer:

• Has a license application for the sale of alcohol on Poyrazköy and Riva beaches?
• Has the application was made through Beytaş?
• Has Kemal Taştan received a drink license on the name of Kemal Taştan?
• Have a supply agreement with any drink company?

“Beykoz’u yaşayan biziz, sahadaki gerçekleri görüp konuşuruz. Siyasi kavgalar değil, şeffaflık kazanmalı. Gerçekleri gizlemek isteyenlere karşı susmayacağız.”
– Salih Dursun

Beykoz to the public

Do not stay so French in Beykoz, learn the truth from us….

It is a necessity of our political understanding to talk about Beykoz, to warn and to appreciate the truth if there is wrong.

We are not sitting in the seats;

Because we are living in Beykoz and we look at the events with the feeling of Beykoz. 

In this respect, we follow every issue that concerns Beykoz and examine it meticulously.

Beykoz people know very well the years of the years sacrificed for political conflicts, rent fights and armchair ambition.

Today, with the politics of lie and slander, the best Beykoz people know who acted for what purpose.

We watch what happened with a sign.

Therefore, such claims do not dismantle us.
Because “a person knows the job”, we pass.

As for the real issue:

Those who say that no information should be respected except for the explanations of official institutions, if they do not know what is happening, they have learned from us.

For:
• On the one hand, they put forward in every matter and play a role in the municipality like a co -chairman,
• On the other hand, they are trying to drop the issues that do not have their own news from the agenda by saying “lie and slander”.

However, the public should be answered clearly:

1. Has alcoholic beverages have been applied on Poyrazköy and Riva Public Beaches?
2. Has this application has been made through Beytaş, a municipal subsidiary?
3. Has Kemal Taştan, General Manager of Beytaş, has a license permit from TAPDK?
4. Is an agreement with a company operating in Turkey on the supply of drinks?

The answer to these questions, 
Beykoz is the most natural right of the people. 

The facts should be answered clearly and clearly without covering them.

If there is any alcoholic beverages on the beaches in this or next summer season, the Beykoz people are not last -minute emir.

Finally, we ask this:

If the authorities cannot deny these claims and if we prove them with their documents:

Will Mr. Mahir Taştan resign from his post?

We clearly ask this question on behalf of the whole Beykoz public opinion. 

Our expectation is not political polemic;

Let the duties win. 

Hodri Meydân!
