Former Minister Ekrem Pakdemirli and former Treasury Undersecretary Tevfik Altinok said that they have registered in the Treasury, two very valuable carpets presented to them when they were abroad. Pakdemirli said that "An official of a big carpet company presented me a carpet in 1084. When I learned that it was worth 10 thousand dollars, I had it registered at the inventory of the Treasury. Let this be inspected."

Pakdemirli said that then-Treasury Undersecretary Altinok was beside him during the registry and "Claims that there are no presents registered into the State, are not true."
Dailies had written that the costly gifts presented to Emine Erdogan in Russia, had been registered by the Erdogan couple, after big critics, to the state archives with the number 01.
