Kalkavan says he has understood. But then he tries to make it clear to the Prime Minister on several occasions that he had made ​​a mistake : he had always advertised only verbally to the order , never in writing. Thus, there had never been an official application.

Erdogan seems confused , but then he says , Kalkavan should lodge a complaint and send a copy to several locations , including at its secretariat anyway. Erdogan : “If you do fast, today or tomorrow , that would be very good. ” It sounds as though Erdogan personally take care of a new tender .

In a second call , this time in September 2013 , advises Erdogan , Kalkavan should go down with the price. Then it ‘ll work out in the renewed contract already , ” Inshallah ” . Kalkavan thanks at the end of good.

What exactly is it about? In the telephone call, the head of government attempts allegedly , the industrialist Mustafa Koc , one of the richest men in Turkey, taking away a multibillion dollar business. Koc is to get a government contract in any case – and the prime minister personally wants to make sure .
