Turkish ministry denounces Russian press' Savarona claims

ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News
The Turkish Foreign Ministry does not approve of the speculation surrounding Kazakhstan Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev in an investigation into an alleged prostitution on the yacht Savarona, a ministry spokesman said Wednesday.
It was "surprising" to see Saudabayev's name in "groundless" reports by the Russian press, said Selçuk Ünal. "Citing Minister Saudabayev's name with this investigation is deliberate and sinister."
One of the six persons found on board the Savarona, the historic yacht belonging to modern Turkish founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, was reported to be Kazakhstan's foreign minister.
The identity of the Kazakh minister, who is also the chairman of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, or OSCE, had been kept secret due to his diplomatic passport, according to the Russian press, which said that after some formalities between Kazakh and Turkish authorities, he was released and sent to his country on a private jet.
The Kazakh prime minister's advisor, Bircan Murataliev Ravshanovich, were also said to have been present on the yacht.
The Russian press also reported that the executive director of Vogue Magazine Russia, Ekaterina Muhina, was also suspected to have been on the yacht and to have been the person who provided the underage girls for the businessmen and diplomats on board.
Six arrested in yacht prostitution scandal in Turkey

ISTANBUL - Daily News with wires
Six people were arrested late Friday in the southern province of Antalya for alleged involvement in a prostitution gang following a raid on a yacht once used by the country's founder, news agencies have reported.
Tevfik Arif, a businessman of Kazakh origin and the chairman of the New York-based Bayrock Group, was among the suspects charged late Friday by an Antalya court with setting up a criminal gang, organizing prostitution and human trafficking.
The suspects, including two Russian nationals, were remanded in custody pending trial, the Anatolia news agency reported.
The six were detained last week when police stormed the 136-meter luxury yacht Savarona off Antalya after a seven-month investigation into an alleged international prostitution ring. Police also detained 10 Ukrainian and Russian women.
Nine of the women – including two under 18, the legal age of consent in Turkey – were deported Friday for working as prostitutes while the remaining woman was released after police found she had no connection to the probe.
Turkish media reports said Arif had rented the yacht for four or five days at a daily rate of $50,000. Arif denied all charges leveled against him, arguing that he had only been entertaining friends aboard the Savarona, Anatolia reported.
Arif said in his testimony in court that the charges were a conspiracy against him, the Doğan news agency reported. "I do not understand what, in this incident, is prostitution. Finding condoms onboard does not mean there was prostitution there, because friends aboard had their girlfriends with them.... I had my girlfriend with me, too," he said.
On its website, Arif's company describes itself as a private real-estate investment and development firm that specializes in luxury projects.
It lists the Trump organization of U.S. property tycoon Donald Trump as a partner in the group's SoHo Hotel Condominium in New York and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Fort Lauderdale in Florida.
The bust has caused shock and outrage in Turkey, as the Savarona was used by the country's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, for six weeks prior to his death in November 1938.
