Director of Religious Affairs Dr. Ali Erbaş met with Ankara media representatives and columnists. At the meeting, which held in the Presidency building, Erbaş made statements on the agenda and answered questions.

There are certain religious references and he makes belly dancers dance. Is such a thing possible?

Erbaş answered a question about Adnan Oktar in the following way:

"It is hair-raising when we watch, it is not right to watch a channel like that. This person erstwhile was the head of a group that prepared the Judaism, Freemason book. He now says he is a freemason. He has most likely lost his mental balance. But he was punished previously for his remarks about Freemasonry. The authority to ban a TV station does not belong to the Diyanet but the authorized people should ban it. Inshallah, mashallah fly in the air. There are certain religious references and he makes belly dancer dance there. Is such a thing possible?" (ILKHA)
