It was learned that Aleppo Governor Azzam Garip completed his master’s degree at Bingöl University Faculty of Theology.
STATEMENT FROM DAVUTOĞLU
Future Party Chairman Ahmet Davutoğlu made a statement regarding the issue. Davutoğlu said, “The newly appointed Governor of Aleppo is Azzam Garip, who has a master’s degree from Bingöl University. Will the provocateur politicians who want to expel them from the university, cut off the water to their homes, and take them across the border on buses make an apology? In any case, they should visit Aleppo and speak beautiful Turkish.” “They should drink the Turkish coffee offered by the governor who will welcome them, and they should know that that coffee will be a symbol of goodness and brotherhood that will last not forty years, but forty centuries,” he said.
STATEMENT FROM THE UNIVERSITY
On the other hand, a statement was published by Sabahattin Zaim University. In the statement, “Our master’s graduate and doctoral student Esaad Hasan Şeybani served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the new Syrian government.
