Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin has extended invitations to political party leaders for his daughter's wedding ceremony, which will be held in Ankara on November 18.
Stating that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has accepted the invitation, Tekin said he would also personally visit YENİ Party Chairman Özgür Özel to deliver an invitation.
Özgür Özel was asked about this development while he was a guest on a live broadcast on Sözcü TV. Özel gave the following response to Tekin's statements regarding his daughter's wedding ceremony:
"Has Yusuf Tekin gone to the house of mourning for the children who died in MESEM, yet he invites me to a wedding house?
I saw his call in Erzurum yesterday. You use such dirty, such uncouth language. And then you ask for an appointment.
And we are supposed to meet him at the door and embrace him spinelessly and all that...
Nevin and Nehir said, 'If I have no future, there is no peace for you either.'
They put young children in prison for the crime of threatening Yusuf Tekin as a group. They were released before I went on air.
If I am going to attend a wedding, I will go to Nevin and Nehir's wedding. I will not go to Yusuf Tekin's wedding. He did not ask for an appointment. Even if he does, we will not grant it.
Yusuf Tekin is the worst, most unsuccessful, most ill-intentioned, and foul-mouthed Minister of National Education in the history of the Republic, perhaps even in world history.
I would be ashamed before Nevin and Nehir. I would be ashamed before the children who died in MESEM. Yusuf Tekin should stay away from us..."
