Istanbul - Seven daughters of financially troubled businessman Halis Toprak have filed a legal petition over their father's recent marriage to 17-year-old Nazlıcan Tağızade, who is even younger than some of his grandchildren, demanding that he be placed under legal guardianship.
Claiming that the marriage has turned into a media farce, daughters Aynur Toprak, Şükran Toprak, Ayfer Toprak, Mine Toprak, Ayla Zengin Toprak, Aysel Duruk and Sevgi Toprak explained in the petition:
“Toprak's debt repayment program with the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund [TMSF] could not be processed [due to the marriage]. Halis Toprak was described in the media as a powerless and miserable man and was likened to the famous movie character ‘Züğürt Ağa.' On the grounds that he will be unable to manage Toprak Holding and will be unable to fulfill his obligations to the TMSF, we felt the need to ask for his placement under guardianship in order for him not to fall into more difficult and dangerous situations and in order to protect him against imminent danger.”
While Toprak's daughters strongly oppose the marriage and are requesting that he be placed under legal guardianship, his sons Ahmet and Mehmet Toprak said in a written statement that their father is sane and capable of managing his business interests. Noting that they were surprised by their sisters' petition, they further stated that Toprak Holding is not indebted to the TMSF.

It's a problem all over the world.
ReplyDeleteAnd all because of the need for greed.
Greed is everywhere and growing stronger.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that NASGA is growing stronger too!
Worldwide problem? I did not know this is so widespread. Now that is something, guardianship systems, around the world that just might bring everyone together, the wards that is. NASGA International? Sounds like a good plan to me and something to seriously consider.
