A record of the correction and apology statements later published by those who spread the claim.

The "He Has People Call Him Hocaefendi" Claim

Neither a request nor an encouragement. The title took hold in the second half of the 1990s, as people around him spoke of him that way in his absence; in Turkey male religious teachers are addressed like this anyway.

Unfounded

The "Arrogant and Unreachable Person" Claim

The accusation rests on a single incident: not attending a press statement in August 2014. The person making the claim has never met Kuytul, and not even those who spent years at his side and later left have said such a thing.

Unfounded

The claim that "he pushes those who question out of the religious community"

There is not a single name, date or incident in the article. The invitation "give names if there are any" has gone unanswered for more than ten years; those who left did so by their own choice.
