Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran attended the iftar dinner organized by Darülaceze alongside former vice president Acun Ilıcalı and footballers İsmail Yüksek, Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Çağlar Söyüncü, and Mert Günok.
One of the notable moments of the iftar was a dialogue regarding baklava between Saran and AKP Bursa Deputy Mustafa Varank.
VARANK'S BAKLAVA COMMENT
During the iftar, Varank pointed to the güllaç among the desserts and commented, "There is güllaç, if there were baklava, we would feed it to you." Following these words, Sadettin Saran did not delay his response and gave a striking reply, saying, "Mr. Minister, I am not like Ali Koç; I have my own baklavas."
This response from Sadettin Saran received significant attention on social media. The context behind this lies in an incident that occurred before the EuroLeague final played in Abu Dhabi last season.
At that time, the moments when AKP member Varank offered baklava to Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç had sparked major controversy. While handing the baklava to Koç, Varank had said, "We are eating this blessed baklava with a basmala, come on, bismillah." Those images had also caused a wide stir in the public eye.
