'Nonsense' debate between Metiner and Şener: If Shara can be President, why can't Mazlum Abdi be Minister of Defense?

Some expressions used by Mehmet Metiner while describing the developments expected in the process of building a 'New Syria' were deemed 'nonsense' by Nedim Şener.

Nedim Şener reacted sharply to Metiner's suggestion that 'Mazlum Abdi could become the Minister of Defense in Syria.'

Here is the dialogue that took place between the two:

If we want to solve the problem in Syria, we must set aside the rhetoric that Mazlum Abdi is a puppet of Israel. Even if they were a puppet of Israel, does the wisdom of a great state require making them more of an enemy, or does it require winning them over...

I believe that in the new era, our President will negotiate the construction process of a new Syria, and that the SDF will continue to exist as a political party along with its armed forces without disbanding; these matters will be negotiated and agreed upon.

If the center in Syria takes on a form where everyone is represented, I don't think the SDF problem will turn into a cause for conflict; let's try to understand. We can also turn the SDF into a power for Turkey; tomorrow, when Mazlum Abdi becomes Minister of Defense... There is no need to laugh, Nedim Şener... let's say they draft a Constitution and he becomes Minister of Defense, will you reject this?

Nedim Şener: Can such a thing happen?

Mehmet Metiner: If Shara can be President, why can't Mazlum Abdi be Minister of Defense?

Nedim Şener: Do you know why it can't? The Republic of Turkey's relations with Shara are clear; when he becomes Minister of Defense tomorrow, will we see Yaşar Güler shaking hands with Mazlum Abdi?

Mehmet Metiner: Why are you bothered by this?

Nedim Şener: Because it's nonsense, that's why; even saying this is nonsense!

Mehmet Metiner: In my opinion, it is not nonsense.
