Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s diploma was investigated, and he transferred from a zip-zop university.

At that time, YÖK supposedly didn’t recognize Marmara University.

Naturally it wouldn’t recognize it—probably, probably; it’s already clear he’s always without excuse.

I mean, he just wouldn’t get out of our hair.

There’s every kind of trickery and fraud.

And then, but if YÖK doesn’t properly recognize them, shouldn’t that diploma be deemed

invalid?

It will be, I suppose—presumably, of course it’s deemed invalid, but is there anyone who

even listens to that, I wonder?

Is anyone listening to us?

No.

I’m very sorry I took your time, but let’s see—the date—no, that’s wrong; from ’87–’88

he transfers.

At that time YÖK doesn’t recognize Marmara University, doesn’t recognize it—anyway, I don’t recognize it either.

I don’t want it.

He probably cheated, and I don’t want to be under his administration.

Am I obliged? Do I have to do everything he says?

He doesn’t do anything we say, yet I’m the one doing what he says.

What happened, sir? Today he made a statement; he said, “I’m learning Kurdish.” What Kurdish, Kurdish

Kurdish, Kurdish, Kurdish, what’s the need, “I’ll learn Kurdish,” Turkish or Kurd, Kurd, what’s the need

Is there?

But why is he learning Kurdish? Look, he’s going to hand things over to them.

Who do you support?

Of course İmamoğlu, that is, the Republican People’s Party. As an Atatürkist person, I

would I ever support him? Does that make any sense to you?

Never. I hope I never do.

Well, same then. Good day.
