Shocking claim regarding the footage of AKP's Mustafa Varank feeding baklava to Ali Koç! 'It was reshot exactly 3 times'

The THY EuroLeague Final Four was held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Fenerbahçe defeated Monaco to win the EuroLeague championship for the second time.

Among those who came to watch the match were Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak, AKP Bursa Deputy Mustafa Varank, and AKP İzmir Deputy Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu. Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç also met with Minister Bak and the AKP deputies before the match.

The footage of AKP member Varank feeding Ali Koç baklava brought from Turkey with his own hands was widely discussed. To Mustafa Varank's words, "We are feeding him the blessed baklava with a Basmala, Bismillah," Ali Koç replied by saying, "Amen."

Sports commentator Serdar Ali Çelikler brought up a striking claim regarding the footage that dominated the agenda. Speaking on the YouTube channel NeoSpor, Çelikler suggested that the footage was not spontaneous and that the video in question was published after the third attempt.

Çelikler stated the following:

“The baklava incident is not something that developed spontaneously. The footage you watched is the third take. It is actually a production. He feeds it once, then they say, ‘it didn’t work, you shot it from the side, let the minister be in the frame too,’ and so on. The footage that was published and that we saw is the third take. There is no situation where one can say it was a spontaneous development or a sweet moment of conversation.”
