He didn't have anyone killed. He commuted death sentences to life imprisonment.

He didn't have anyone killed, but for 80 years he was called the Red Sultan.

I read about the Red Sultan in my high school textbooks, sir.

If he had done what you say and been toppled, then we would never have been able to tell the story of Abdülhamid Han.

We wouldn't be able to explain this today either, just so you know.

Up until the '80s, could we say "Abdülhamid Han", sir?

So Abdülhamid Han will become the subject of a doctoral thesis.

The doctoral thesis is about the post-'80s period, sir, not before the '80s.

Sir, I know he suffered these hardships after the '80s.

Well, if it had been before the '80s, sir, he would have rotted in prison — I mean, if we wrote about those things.

Is that all?

But he's saying less, sir — he seems a bit scared, I guess.
