Normally there is heating system in the scissors but it did not work. I had trouble making scissors. The officer said there was a train on the 13th. I dealt with it and I did it.

Osman Eker, lawyer of Osman Yildirim said, imin My client has no place to stay for a long time. Scissors is not just a simple thing. From cleaning the scissors to the simple failure of the shears, many jobs are hosted. There are five more trainings the client has to take. The client was on duty before he got them. Why didn't they get education? ”
