Abdülhamid Kayıhan Osmanoğlu, a 4th-generation descendant of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II, targeted some of Turkey's most successful high school students who were protesting teacher appointments at project schools.
'DO YOU THINK THE OTTOMAN DESCENDANT IS DEAD?'
Appearing as a guest on the program "Kayıtdışı Tarih" (Unrecorded History) on Akit TV, which is known for its proximity to the government, Kayıhan Osmanoğlu said, 'Do you think the Ottoman descendant is dead? What's going on, who do you think you are?'
'THEY DON'T HAVE THE POWER'
Stating, "A day or two ago, high school youth, ignorant youth, rose up against our state," Osmanoğlu said, "Of course, they don't have the power. We continue to stand by our state, thank God. As long as we live, we will stand against this kind of blind mentality. Do you think the Ottoman descendant is dead? A youth has listed... 1- Let the mayor be released, 2- something else... What's going on, who do you think you are?"
