President of ÖSYM: Legal Action Initiated Against Rumors

Following the national university entrance exams in Turkey and the emergence of controversial claims on social media, Bayram Ali Ersoy, the President of the country's Assessment, Selection and Placement Center (ÖSYM), reacted strongly. He issued a statement declaring that all necessary measures are underway to identify and punish those who have targeted the security and credibility of the exams [1].

Strong Reaction from the President of ÖSYM to Recent Rumors In his remarks, Ersoy emphasized that ÖSYM is meticulously monitoring all social media activities. He noted that certain accounts are attempting to discourage candidates and their families by publishing fake questions or making false claims about question leaks. He stated: "We will not allow the efforts of millions of young people, who have prepared for their future with day and night labor, to become the subject of political games or social media profiteering" [2].

Details of Legal Prosecution and Action Against Offenders According to the President of ÖSYM, documentation regarding several social media accounts and websites that published false information has been collected and handed over to judicial authorities. This legal process includes charges such as "spreading misleading information," "attempting to disturb public order," and "insulting state institutions." Ersoy noted that the organization's lawyers are seriously pursuing these cases to ensure offenders receive the maximum penalty [1][3].

Emphasis on Security and Transparency in Exam Administration ÖSYM claims that the process of printing, distributing, and collecting question booklets is conducted under the strictest security measures and monitored by closed-circuit cameras. In another part of his statement, Ersoy added that no security breach has occurred in the organization's systems and all rumors raised in recent days are baseless and aimed at damaging the reputation of this educational institution [2]. He urged candidates to trust only the official announcements published through the website and verified pages of ÖSYM.

Important Advice for Candidates and Families In conclusion, the President of the Assessment Center asked families to remain vigilant against unofficial news and not to let the stress caused by rumors affect their children's performance. He promised that exam results will be announced on schedule and with full transparency, and any ambiguities will be resolved through legal channels [3]. This decisive action by Ersoy has been welcomed by many educational experts who believe that dealing with exam question brokers and publishers of fake news is a vital step in maintaining educational justice in Turkey.
