Shame on you, child, shame on you, if I feel pity for you...

Our dear brother Edip Akbayram has also departed from this mortal world to the eternal realm.

But for at least another hundred years, his music will be played, his words will be spoken, and his influence will endure in this universe.

God knows what happens after that.

Our brother Edip, one of the most important artists raised by the Republic, did not accept the Pennsylvania Oscars awarded years ago.

He rejected them.

And he did this back when the cardinal, who was buried without a creed, was not yet a terrorist.

Mind you, our President Erdoğan also referred to this priest from Pennsylvania, saying, "We must deal with them first," and fired the first warning flare.

Our brother Edip also pushed away the bribes offered to him with the back of his hand.

They claimed it was universal, that it was waving the Turkish flag in the most remote corners of the world, that it was a soldier of education.

Despite all the tricks of espionage and counter-espionage, they could not hook our brother Edip.

However, they did hook his peers.

While the most intellectual professors of our oldest universities in Istanbul, which we established with the Germans, were being targeted, our brother Edip remained loyal to the Republic and the revolutions and values of Modern Turkey.

The Germans, who influenced the Ottoman Empire with the university they established in Istanbul, also targeted Modern Turkey.

My knowledge and experience are not quite enough to go into detail, but when you type Abant Meetings into Google, the picture pops up immediately.

The fact that it is also the epicenter for those who do not even recite a prayer for the good of the country is another matter.

Germany, which provided coordinates by acting as a spotter for the artillery fire coming from across the ocean, has fallen into a difficult situation.

Its industry is experiencing energy problems.

It is not making as much money as it used to.

It is losing its competitive advantage.

It is suffering from a shortage of young labor.

Germany, with whom we have been friends for 250 years in many fields such as the military, education, and trade—and the friendly Germans make up the majority—is trying to stab us in the back.

It has kept us waiting at the door of the EU for years. It turns a blind eye to other member countries, which have little influence, acting tough against Great Turkey.

Anyway,

Let us respond with the words of our brother Edip.

Shame on you, Hans, shame on you; if I feel pity for you, may God destroy me.
