I have worked with Mehmet Hakan Atilla at the "Financial Institutions and Investor Relations Department" at Halkbankfor the last ten years until I got retired in the beginning of March this year. I reported to him first as my manager then my Deputy General Manager. Over these years, he has been more a close friend rather than someone I report to at work.

In my opinion Hakan Atilla is a hardworking person, very respectful to his job, very aware of his responsibilities and very honest. He always makes the best effort to safeguard the well-being of the Institution he works for as well as the people who work with him. He is very knowledgeable and experienced but still always very eager to learn new things. He has important contributions to the privatization of Halkbank and its transformation to a well-run, profitable, reputable and successful bank. Therefore, he has been well-known, valued, trusted and respected in the business circle, especially by the foreign bankers and institutional investors doing business with Turkey. He was always sought after for his opinion, knowledge in business and ideas.I

As a manager, he was always very fair. As he was a hardworking person and he expected the people working with him to work hard as well. If you would disagree with him on a point you could tell him this, you could even argue your point and he would certainly listen before making his decision. We always felt comfortable to share with him our problems because we knew that he would listen and try to assist us. Despite his senior position, he would speak and listen to everyone. If you asked for his assistance at work he would never leave you alone and always try to solve the problem. Therefore, no matter what their position is at the Bank, everyone felt very comfortable to knock his door. He was supportive to new ideas as well, for example I thought it would be very beneficial for the Bank to attend a worldwide banking event as an exhibitor, he supported this fully and convinced our General Manager despite that it would be a new cost for the Bank. He listened to me, trusted my opinion and fully supported me.

I consider him my friend rather that my "Deputy General Manager" because I know that I can trust him and I know that he has a very good heart. He tries to support the people around him and protect them. He has his principles, values and he tries to do the right thing. He values his family, his friends, his job, and his country very much. He always has a smiling face and you know that if he is telling you something he is really meaning it and you can trust him. If I was not working with him I would either change my job or get retired much earlier. When I made my firm decision to get retired he tried to make it very memorable for me by arranging a very special farewell dinner at a place I like very much, with all the people at our floor attending. He even selected my retirement gift personally.

It is very difficult to describe a friend in a few words, but I can say in short that he is a very honest person with a very good heart. He has a wonderful family and he is a wonderful family man. He would dare do anything to do the right thing therefore it is impossible for me to believe that he has done anything wrong and I am positive that he will be proved innocent. I pray for this every day.

05/16/2017 Istanbul - Turkey

Mehmet Hakan ATILLA has been the head of my department and the vice president of Halkbank since I started working there in 2008. As my manager he has always been fair, honest and everyone great respect for him for being a disciplined, hardworking, meticulous person with great character. He is deeply revered by friends and coworkers not only for his leadership skills but also for his friendly presence, good character and exemplary family life.

In our country, family and family union are very important. He honored us with his presence in our engagement ceremony and our wedding, joined the rest of our families in these joyous occasions.

Everyone respects and loves Mr. Hakan who has a great character, good heart, experience knowledge and I like to request him to be freed of this unjust suffering.

Hello Hakan

Our friendship started very many years ago and we are still friends, and destiny has always brought us together. When I stop for a second and think about the past I realize that it is full of memories and common fate. We were living in the same lodging for 6 consecutive years as our fathers were working for the directorate of youth and sports and we were always together with Hakan during these years. We went to camps on school vacation. After graduating from high school we also studied together for college. We were always supporting each other. We graduated from college during the same years and once again destiny brought us back together during our military services, and we were not only in the same troop in Kutahya but also in the dormitory having our beds side by side. We ran the little tea shop in military together. Following our military services we started to get ready for real life, business life and we supported each other in every step. I can never forget the things you have done for me during that period. We both studied very hard for the institution exams and Hakan was appointed as a specialist to Halkbank and I was appointed to Vakifbank again as a specialist a few months later. We were always into sports. Hakan was very successful in swimming and he was awarded to first life guard certificate in Turkey which I believe proves how grea he was. Moreover, we started refereeing in handball tournaments and travelled to Zonguldak and Kirsehir for the games. I still remember that time when you gave a wrong decision in a position where it happened at the back of the net and then how you corrected it immediately.

I know that everybody will say the same things about you, trustworthy, hardworking man having good relations with everyone around him and a great friend. I believe you have inherited all these specialties from your wonderful parents who have provided you a great education and yet now you are providing the same things to Burkan as a father and you are a great husband.

I know and believe that everything will straighten up and the justice will be done and you will get what you deserve.

Your friend

To Whom It May Concern

Ankara, 04.20.2017

I’m Suleyman OZKOK. I was born in Ankara on 07.17.1968. We are engaged in trade in Ankara. Our company, Aydin Teknik Ltd. Sti was founded by my father Aydin OZKOK in 1962 and it is still in business and has a great reputation in Turkey. I live in Ankara and I met with Mehmet Hakan Atilla in 1985 when we were both living on the same neighborhood which is Tunali Hilmi Street. This is how our friendship started. We had the same perspectives and we both gave importance to moral values and this made our friendship stronger. I was present in each and every special occasion of Hakan including his wedding ceremony and so did Hakan. During this time period we always got together, and later on our families joined our gatherings. When Hakan started whis career in Halk Bank Headquarters and moved to Istanbul our friendship did not get effected at all. We always made it possible to see each other. When I went to Istanbul and when he came to Ankara we were side by side. When we didn’t have a chance to see each other we always caught up on the phone up until this unfortunate incident happened. Just like everyone else who knew Hakan well, I was also very upset about the news I heard, I was shocked and I did not believe.

Briefly, I would like to state that Hakan is a trustworthy, hardworking and a fair man who values people and always gave great importance to his job and respected by his colleagues. He is straight forward and he is the one and only person I trust. I trust him just like I trust my family members. By the way, my family also trusts Hakan a lot. Hakan is the last person in Turkey actually in the world, who would get involved in such matter.

Regards,

Suleyman OZKOK
