In its statement regarding the said news, EPDK used the following statements: "The expenses in question are evaluated differently from the expenses such as personnel, maintenance and repair, index reading, cutting and binding, IT, materials, general management expenses, etc. Advertisement expenses are official postings related to the activity, they do not include postings for advertising purposes. Companies engaged in such a large and consumer-friendly activity should inform the consumer and make advertisements as a natural consequence of their activities. "
