AK Party Kahramanmaraş Deputy Prof. Dr. Mehmet Şahin made statements that sparked controversy regarding the five lieutenants who visited Anıtkabir after being discharged from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK). In a live broadcast he participated in, Şahin said, "They went to Anıtkabir and took pictures. If you notice, they are running a process. They should go to the CHP instead of Anıtkabir. They politicized the TSK the very day they became lieutenants."

After the graduation ceremony of the National Defense University Army War College on August 30, 2024, the lieutenants who swore the officer's oath while crossing swords and shouted the slogan "We are soldiers of Mustafa Kemal" were expelled from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) under the pretext of indiscipline. The Ministry of National Defense (MSB) announced, "5 lieutenants were given a separation penalty from the Turkish Armed Forces."
CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS IN LIVE BROADCAST AK Party Kahramanmaraş Deputy Prof. Dr. Mehmet Şahin made controversial statements regarding the lieutenants who visited Anıtkabir after their expulsion during a live broadcast.
AK Party Kahramanmaraş Deputy Prof. Dr. Mehmet Şahin. "THEY BROUGHT POLITICS INTO TSK ON THE DAY THEY BECAME LIEUTENANTS" Şahin stated, "They say let's not mix politics with the TSK, but these 5 lieutenants and 3 officers brought politics into the TSK on the very day they became lieutenants. And they claim to be distant from politics."
It is also necessary to consider the processes in Turkish politics since 1960. Let's not forget May 27, March 12, September 12, February 28, and July 15. We should also remember the coup attempts of Talat Aydemir. It is worth mentioning the expulsion of 1500 War Academy students during İsmet İnönü's time.
"IF YOU NOTICE, THEY ARE OPERATING A PROCESS" If we are talking about this now, the 5 lieutenants who were given this separation decision should have thought about it too. They went to Anıtkabir and took pictures. If you notice, they are operating a process. Instead of going to Anıtkabir, it would have been better if you had visited the CHP headquarters and its chairman. There is a group that says, 'They expelled those who say we are soldiers of Mustafa Kemal.' They are completely lying and knowingly continuing this work," he stated.
