A surprise guest in Fatih Altaylı's seat: 'I've seen so many, they all seemed like they would never leave'

Zeki Demirkubuz was a guest on the YouTube channel of journalist Fatih Altaylı, who is currently detained at Silivri Prison.

During the program, Demirkubuz evaluated the state of mind of society in recent years, stating, "Happiness has now become an impossible thing."

Demirkubuz expressed that society is filled with resentment, ambition, and hysteria, adding, "There is a great uncertainty and a deep lack of faith."

"NONE OF THEM SEEMED LIKE THEY WOULD EVER LEAVE"

Recalling past leaders, the famous director said, "I have seen so many; I remember Demirel, Ecevit, Erbakan, Turgut Özal, and Kenan Evren. None of them seemed like they would ever leave; everyone acted as if they were going to stay forever, but they are gone now."

Here are Zeki Demirkubuz's remarks:

"I have seen so many; I remember Demirel, Ecevit, Erbakan, Turgut Özal, and Kenan Evren. None of them seemed like they would ever leave; everyone acted as if they were going to stay forever, but they are gone now.

As the saying goes, 'All cemeteries are full of generals, leaders, and kings who thought they were indispensable.'

Opening such doors and directing a society toward emotions that should not exist for living together—these are like viruses. Let's think of them like a pandemic; that is how the state of society works. Remember the day the first case of the pandemic was announced. A whole country, mind you, just a single case, had come to a standstill that day. Why? Because everyone knew it would spread like the plague. These emotions are just like such viruses.

Once we start betraying what we have said, it slowly consumes a person."
