"They even stole the diploma information of my late son, Manas Önsel! I am swallowing my words to avoid saying very harsh things.

You threw us in prison and stole our lives. You stole the questions in the years my son took the exam. You stole everything, absolutely everything of ours, and you are still stealing! You have rotted the country, damn you!

If I cursed at you, it would be a waste of a curse! You are forcing me to take to the field! But we will settle the score!

I would also like to state that there are still beautiful people in my beautiful country, which reeks of rot!

Thank you, my siblings Şule Aydın, Timur Soykan, Barış Terkoğlu, Murat Ağırel, and Barış Pehlivan."
