Zafer Arapkirli's 'cattle' jab at Ahmet Hakan over Rome: 'It's a joke, after all'
Journalist Zafer Arapkirli gave an ironic response to an article written by Hürriyet Editor-in-Chief Ahmet Hakan regarding his trip to Rome.
Arapkirli criticized Ahmet Hakan in an indirect yet direct manner with a short, joke-like message he shared on his social media account.
Starting with "It's a joke, after all...", Arapkirli described someone who went to Rome for a few hours, did not like the city, and belittled it by saying, "Pizza, pasta, espresso... There's nothing else to it," as a "cattle" (sığır).
By stating that this person manages a newspaper in Turkey, he also drew attention to the target's influence and approach in the world of journalism.
Arapkirli's outburst received numerous comments on social media, drawing both support and criticism.
A PIECE OF CATTLE…

It's a joke, after all…
A piece of cattle went to Rome for a few hours. It didn't like it at all. "Pizza, pasta, espresso… There's nothing else to it. This Rome is finished, brother. I'm never coming here again," it said.
The joke isn't over.
It manages a newspaper in Turkey. ??
