R.I.P.

I was young and a-politic when this man was in charge.

So I really dont know if he was good or bad, patriot or socialist, free man or freemason.

I remember one quote from him about Hafez Al Assad (father of Bashar) when he supported the PKK: 'Dont make me come there and cut your eyes out'.

It had effect because the great Hafez expelled the PKK from Syria.

He lost one his sons in december 2017, and from what I can read it was a suicide and could be related to his illness "Temporal Lob Epilepsi" where he would become increasingly paralyzed.

I remember 32.Gün as a pretty good program. I think it was replaced by Arena later on with Ugur Dündar.

Rest in Peace.

I read now another quote from him.

'I will do whatever is in my might to forbid quran-schools and imam hatips, even if it costs my political carreer'.

Is this true?

He played poker, he was a gambler. A real one.

He was a smoker, a hard core smoker.
