They call it a historical artifact, isn't that a crime too?If a person offers you 100,000 or 500,000 liras, one acts accordingly.It is claimed that he gave us money.I am working to pay off my KYK student loan.I am working to pay off my KYK student loan.I am working to pay off my KYK student loan.I am working to pay off my KYK student loan.and paid for it myself. He didn't give us money,I didn't take money from anyone, you can check my accounts. It's easyto speak ill of the dead. He says, 'I will speak last,' meaning he will listen to us and then slander us.
