The Mardin Mayor Ahmet Türk, who was replaced by a trustee, stated in an interview that there is no concept of "Ağalık" in his family, saying, "Until today, no one has ever called me 'Ahmet Ağa.' I also hate the word 'Ağa.'" It is worth recalling that at one point, MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli referred to Türk as "Ahmet Türk bey, a valuable personality. He is a person with the attribute of Ağalık."

In an interview, Ahmet Türk, who answered questions about himself ranging from health issues to his political life, made striking evaluations.

"WE ARE NOT SUCH A FAMILY"

Ahmet Türk, who said, "There is no chieftaincy in my family," stated, "No one has ever called us 'ağa.' Until today, no one has called me 'Ahmet Ağa.' Everyone has either called me 'Ahmet abi' or 'Ahmet amca.' So, the title of chieftaincy is not related to our family. Yes, there are some tribal chieftains. They present themselves as chieftains, but we are not such a family," he expressed.

"I HATE THAT WORD"

Continuing his words, Ahmet Türk stated that he hates the word 'ağa,' saying, "In the past, we were supported by society. Especially during those blood feud processes, all of Mardin was on our side. The other side was not. Because we were a family that was wronged. So we don't have such a chieftaincy thing. And I hate the word 'ağa' as well," he said.

"I WON'T DIE EASILY"

Ahmet Türk, who is undergoing cancer treatment, responded to the question, "Is your health issue still ongoing?" with, "No, no, the treatment is going well. I won't die easily."
