So why do they want to hide / ("not state") Brother Zubeyir's association with Breeze?
We are not sure what the guys are doing here. It appears that they are trying to outfox the Internal Revenue Service with respect to their affiliation with Breeze, aka, New Plan Learning -- which happens to be a for profit real estate holding company that they boys use for their schools.
That character Bulent Bayaktar appears again and again in emails. He moves around faster than a cockroach running from an exterminator. Remember him, he served as the Board President at HSA Denison Middle School, and then his wife Jennifer took over his spot? And now he is on the Board of New Plan Learning.
But that is all easily explained by the fact that in one of their answers they state that they choose their own Board members when positions become vacant.
So be good boys and make certain that you uncross your fingers and tell the IRS the truth -- because they are like a mother -- they can always tell when you are lying. And like your mother -- you do not want to get on her bad side.

Zubeyir Brother and Emrah Ayhan are the first founders of Breeze in 2000. The company was transferred to someone else without doing any filing or transaction maybe to Vedat Akgun. So,I think that we do not need to state that Zubeyir Brother has a relation with Breeze or what his relation is.
Negotiated? YES. We can write if the details were asked
Zubeyir Brother mentioned me that somebody applied/was going to apply for his name. But his name is not on any legal document. Maybe there was going to be an application for his name but it did not!!!

Negotiate edilmi? YES. Detaylarini sorarlarsa yazariz.
