Muhammed Nur Nahya, who impersonates President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has prepared a video this time on the topic of 'EURO 2024'.

In the scene, Erdoğan (Muhammed Nur Nahya) and CHP Chairman Özgür Özel (the other character) watch the Turkey-Czechia match together.

In the video, while Erdoğan says, "The Portugal match turned out like our local election results," Özel comments, "Sir, those are your local election results. Because the results were quite good for us."

'I WISH YOU HAD BEEN A FOOTBALLER...'

In the video, which also touches upon Erdoğan's football background, Özel says, "I wish you had been a footballer, sir; we would have 6 points, and the dollar and euro would still be 2 liras in the country."

JOY TAX

At the end of the video, when Turkey finds a goal against Czechia with Arda, Erdoğan hands money to Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek after the goal celebration.

While Özel asks, "What is this, sir?", Erdoğan replies, "It's nothing, this one is on me; we were so happy, but Mehmet wants a tax."

Upon this response, Özel leaves the broadcast.
