It has been reported that Cemil Eroğlu, the father of Ebru Eroğlu—one of the lieutenants dismissed from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) after crossing swords and chanting "We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal" at the Military Academy Graduation Ceremony on August 30, 2024—has been fired from his job.
It was stated that Cemil Eroğlu, who is a veteran, had his employment terminated at the workplace where he had worked for 35 years on the grounds of "downsizing." It drew attention that Cemil Eroğlu was the only person laid off at the same workplace.
The decision became a topic of discussion as it followed Ebru Eroğlu's appearance on the Onlar TV YouTube channel, where she answered questions from journalist Barış Terkoğlu.
In the broadcast, Eroğlu spoke about the dismissal process and her family's stance; stating that her family supported her, she said, "Our families have always been by our side. They were proud of us."
