Volkan Vural

Do?an Publishing Group representative Mehmet Ali Yalç?nda? and the deputy chair of the Do?an Media Group's Publishing Principles Committee, Volkan Vural, have paid a visit to the office building of daily Yeni Akit, which was targeted in an armed attack early Feb. 11, to express their sorrow and show solidarity against terror.

The Do?an Media Group?s Publishing Principles Committee has reaffirmed its commitment to non-partisan, impartial reporting at its meeting in Istanbul.

?We?re equidistant from all parties,? said Ayd?n Do?an, the founder and honorary chairman of Do?an Holding, at the meeting he chaired at the Hilton Hotel on March 9, attended by committee members.
