Muallim Osman was Ceylan's friend in prison. He learnt a thorough lesson from him and has the ability to be a second Ceylan.

Also, although what they show to be an indictable offence in their decision, which has anyway been quashed by the Court of Appeal, is not against us, and although we have proved decisively the malice and with a table of true and false — the eighty errors in the public prosecutor's indictment, with the same antipathy they have made allegations against the four-hundred-page Zülfikar Collection due to a few lines about Islamic
