Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran, who attended the iftar dinner organized by Bilal Erdoğan at Darülaceze, humorously responded to AK Party Deputy Mustafa Varank's remark, "There is güllaç, if there were baklava, we would have brought it to you..." Saran replied, "Mr. Minister, I am not like Ali Koç. I have my own baklava."
The traditional iftar gathering organized by Bilal Erdoğan at Darülaceze brought together the worlds of sports and politics, while the most talked-about moment of the evening was the "baklava" dialogue between Fenerbahçe Presidential Candidate Sadettin Saran and AK Party Member of Parliament Mustafa Varank.
VARANK TO SARAN: IF IT WERE BAKLAVA, WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT TO YOU
Mustafa Varank, who previously fed baklava to Fenerbahçe's then-president Ali Koç with his own hands at an event, turned to Sadettin Saran during the meal and said, "We have güllaç, if it were baklava, we would have brought it to you..."
''I'M NOT LIKE ALİ KOÇ, I HAVE MY OWN BAKLAVAS''
Sadettin Saran, known for his humorous personality and passion for sports, did not leave Varank's pass unanswered. Referring to his fit physique and athlete identity, Saran said, "Mr. Minister, I am not like Ali Koç. I have my own baklavas." Saran's joke referencing "abs" made those at the table laugh, and these moments also attracted considerable attention on social media.
