"Anders lässt sich nicht erklären, dass der von Turkish Airlines beauftragte in Wien ansässige Rechtsanwalt Mehmet Saim Akagündüz uns namens seiner Mandanschaft auffordert, den Bericht über den Absturz der 747 in Bishkek (man lasse sich die Formulierung auf der Zunge zergehen) so "zu korrigieren", dass "keine Assoziationen mehr zu Turkish Airlines hergestellt werden können"."

This report in German from the Austrian aviation publication, Austrian Wings, states that Turkish Airlines has threatened them with legal action unless they remove any association whatsoever between this aircraft and Turkish Airlines from their article. The aircraft was a wet leased MyCargo aircraft, flying under a Turkish Airlines flight number.

In the article the editor says he wants the world to know the methods by which Turkish Airlines attempts to censor the truth and prevent any worsening of its already poor safety statistics. He seems jolly irate.

Anyway, now the world knows.
