Abdulkadir Uraloğlu has ruled out any indication of sabotage in the plane crash that killed former Libyan Chief of General Staff Mohamed Al-Haddad, stressing that investigations are still ongoing to determine the exact cause of the crash.
In a statement, Uraloğlu said specialised investigation teams are continuing their work in coordination with public prosecutors, following a detailed technical and legal process aimed at establishing the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
He emphasised that the inquiry is being conducted with “utmost precision” and urged the public and media not to rely on unverified information or speculation before official findings are released.
The minister added that Turkish authorities are adhering to international standards in aviation accident investigations, noting that final results will be announced once all technical procedures are completed.
The remarks come amid heightened attention surrounding the crash, which has drawn significant media coverage, as Turkish authorities continue examining the aircraft wreckage and carrying out technical analysis to identify the likely causes.
Mohamed Al-Haddad died in December 2025 after a private jet carrying him and several aides crashed while returning from an official visit to Ankara to the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
