Once again, Tayyip Erdogan is bringing the laws to fruition. To be a candidate in Turkey you must have a degree. But Erdogan has not presented a degree. And in order not to get involved, what did he decide? He ordered the Supreme Electoral Council to issue a decision according to which the candidates are not obliged to present a degree.
The "sultan" went to an Islamic school, the so-called "Imam-Hatip", which trains religious preachers. During the 1970s and 1980s, graduates of these schools could pursue higher education only in theology. Erdogan, however, appears to have graduated from Marmara University's School of Economics and Management. But in order to be able to enroll in it, he needed a certificate proving that he attended another school, apart from Imam-Hatip.
The issue of whether Erdogan has a degree goes back to 2014. Since then, it has been a matter of debate whether he has finally graduated from the University. Despite calls to present a copy of his degree, Tayyip Erdogan never did. But he has an excuse. The University of Marmara, from which he is supposed to have graduated, closed with a court order in July 2014!
Journalist Ayse Hur applied to Marmara University, where the Academy joined after 1982, to find out when the President enrolled and when she graduated from the School he mentions in his CV. He also requested a certified copy of his degree from the University Archives.
The rector of Marmara University in a letter informed the journalist that the information he requests falls under personal data and can not be made public.
