2:49 PM - 2 May 2013

According to the story, Buyuksarac, a 2006 miss Turkey, who currently works as an industrial designer and writer, but still retains a large online fan base and has almost 15,000 followers on Instagram and 30,000 on Twitter, posted a satirical text titled "The Master's Poem." 

It was gathered that the cartoon originally appeared in the Turkish magazine Uykusuz, a satirical publication which prides itself on mocking the Turkish political establishment and Turkish president Erdoğan in particular.

Buyuksarac was reportedly questioned  about the poem last month by police last month, but she denied recalling what particular posts they referred to, as she has posted many humorous cartoons. "I don't precisely recall the content I have shared on my Instagram account".
"I shared it because it was funny to me," she added. "I did not intend to insult Recep Tayyip Erdoğan." she added.



Information revealed that than 60 persons have been charged for mocking Erdoğan.  A couple of months ago, a 16-year-old high school student was reportedly arrested after making a speech in which he described Erdogan as "the thieving owner of the illegal palace."

An Istanbul court will decide on whether to proceed with the case or take the joke in good faith.
