I have a few words regarding the term 'political operation'.
He has influential friends in the state and in politics, but to justify a political operation not an important figure.While it is possible to dismiss and liquidate an administrator within the TMSF in a second, why would such an operation be
carried out?Or, when an operation is carried out, which group or clique should lose political altitude?What is his reach, and how much area could he possibly burn?
He attributes too much meaning to
himself.
He is in shock now.predicate...
I suppose he thought he was untouchable thanks to his influential friends, he trampled recklesslyand stompedon the relationships he built, he never expected such a harshfalland now he is in shock.
I hope he learns his lesson. draws from his experiences."Mehmet Akif Ersoy said, 'this is a political operation.'
It seems very strange that a mind that did not question politics while flying to the top would now attach a 'political handle' to a prostitution and drug operation.
