The comment made by Kaan Tangöze, vocalist of the Duman band, during his concert at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University on November 19, “Axes in our hands, reconstruction in our pockets. We go to the forest, hey to the forest,” sparked intense debate on social media. While some users praised the performance, others criticized it. It was reported that an investigation was launched against Tangöze because of these words. In a statement, the university administration said that the event was organized solely by renting a hall to an event company and that holding them responsible for the content was a “malicious distortion.” The statement emphasized that the university is committed to national and spiritual values and that no insults against state officials will be tolerated.
