Özdil says, “I believe Fehmi Koru have some problems. He said Akbay was a graduate of FETO’s propaganda colleges but Burak Akbay disproves this. And then Koru told the school which Akbay studied was in Switzerland. Burak Akbay showed the diploma of the school he graduated and wither the allegations. Then Koru continued to slander and said he stayed at FETÖ’s quarters.”
