When Süleyman Demirel was elected president, we wanted to arrange a dinner in his honor. Only, he invited all of us. After receiving the verbal invitation on the phone twice, I waited for the written one but the mailman preferred putting this letter in the trash rather than give it to . I went to the post office precisely to put in a complaint and found the invitation letter. That night we were all invited with our spouses. Only Necmettin Erbakan did not bring his wife and did not drink alcohol. For us, it was an unforgettable night.
