SYSTEM OF A DOWN have issued a statement refuting the Turkish media's claims that the band's tickets for their 1998 tour with SLAYER had an anti-Turk slogan printed on them. The band posted the following message on their website:
"The truth is that SYSTEM OF A DOWN cancelled our shows opening for SLAYER in Turkey in 1998. Any tickets for the Turkish portion of the 1998 SLAYER tour were printed on SLAYER's behalf, not ours. In fact, there were no Anti-Turkish slurs printed on any tickets for that, or any other tour involving SYSTEM OF A DOWN.
"SYSTEM OF A DOWN wishes that the media in Turkey, and elsewhere, be conscious of the facts, responsible in their research, honest in their writing, and dedicated to the essential importance of the truth."
