The Beşir Atalay crisis is deepening in AKP circles. Bülent Arınç has reacted strongly to the removal of Atalay's name from Kırıkkale University.

Arınç emphasized Atalay's past contributions, stating that this decision carries political malice. Atalay was the founding rector of Kırıkkale University in 1992 and was unjustly dismissed during the February 28 process.

Bülent Arınç called on President Erdoğan to rectify this wrong decision. He also suggested that the name of Kırıkkale University should be changed to 'Kırıkkale Beşir Atalay University.'

Other prominent figures in the AKP also reacted to this situation. Former Interior Minister Abdulhamit Gül recalled Atalay's past services, stating that this decision is an act of ingratitude.

This crisis could lead to broader discussions within the AKP. How will the removal of Beşir Atalay's name affect the internal dynamics of the party?
