“I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE”
Bedrettin Aydoğdu, the kebab shop owner operating under the name Bedri Usta, who caused a reaction from his social network account to a customer eating at his establishment and topped it off with a statement that he liked a post insulting Turks, spoke to Gerçek Gündem.
Aydoğdu said, “You quoted the price and replied to the customer who shared your price. Why did you do this?” He answered the question as follows:
“Actually, I'm someone who complains a lot about costs. When I saw the post in question, I said, 'Look, you shared it, I quoted you too. Dude, see.' I wrote. Spoken language and written language are not the same. 'Look, you criticized me; I wanted to say, 'I'm sharing it so the public can see it.'”
“I NEVER SAW YOU WOULD COME HERE”
Bedrettin Aydoğdu affirmed that he is also someone who opposes expensiveness and believes that the state should control the free market and said: “I am someone who is obsessed with the price of coffee at the airport. I am someone who feels sorry for people on the minimum wage and retirees. My intentions were never bad or arrogant. But I cannot explain myself. What I said was misunderstood. I apologize to everyone.” he said.
Bedrettin Aydoğdu said that he never predicted things would come to this point and said: “I would never have thought about death. If I knew that you would come here, why would I share such a post? I have never worried about being famous or being disgraced. My only concern is transparency. That is also misunderstood.” he said.
“OUR PRICES ARE THE SAME AS SIMILAR RESTAURANTS”
Confirming that the prices of his restaurant and restaurants in the same location are the same, Aydoğdu said: “Four people go to all the restaurants in my location, eat and drink. Then come and eat the same dishes at our place. If our place is not more suitable, I will leave the 50-year-old place.” he said.
“I AM A TURKEY LIKE I AM A KURDISH”
Bedrettin Aydoğdu “The issue was tried to be dragged to other points through Amedspor's jersey. What do you want to say about this?” He answered the question as follows:
“I don't just wear an Amedspor jersey. I also wear a Konyaspor jersey, a Yozgat jersey, Ankara Demirspor and Fenerbahçe. Why aren't these on the agenda? If my executioners knew me, they would apologize to me. I am a Turk as well as a Kurd. I have a flag. I also have Mustafa Kemal. I don't know anyone else. Don't forget, what do I know about politics? I'm not a politician, I'm a kebab seller Finally “I want to say something. They created something using artificial intelligence. They act as if I enjoy being insulted. This is not possible. I have never shared anything like this.”
INCREASED REACTION, HE SORRY
Aydoğdu responded to a post in which a resident reacted to the exorbitant prices at the location by saying: “You have few followers, let me share so the man can see.” he replied.
