Saadet Party Antalya Deputy Şerafettin Kılıç targeted the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, mentioned in the Epstein files, in his speech at the Parliament. Kılıç stated, "As the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, let us issue a joint statement for the expulsion of this individual as soon as possible. Let us stand up to protect our children. Silence is complicity."
New documents released regarding Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in prison while being prosecuted on charges of establishing a sexual exploitation and prostitution network for underage girls in the U.S., revealed that Tom Barrack, the U.S. Ambassador to Ankara and Special Representative for Syria, is also mentioned. In an email correspondence from 2016 in Epstein's collection, it was seen that he wrote to Barrack, "Send me pictures of you and your child... Make me smile."
"A MONSTER OF CHILD ABUSE"
In his speech at the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), Saadet Party Antalya Deputy Şerafettin Kılıç addressed the issue of "Barrack," stating, "The U.S. Ambassador to Turkey is a dubious figure mentioned in the Epstein files. The documents are clear: Epstein writes to him, 'Send me pictures of you and your child, make me smile.' Can we remain silent in the face of this request from a monster of child abuse? Barrack is walking around our country freely today, stirring up our region. His presence here is an insult to the innocence of our children and an assault on the conscience of our nation. We would give our lives for our children. If we remain silent, what will we tell our grandchildren tomorrow?"
"HE SHOULD BE DECLARED UNWANTED"
Kılıç continued his remarks:
"Our call is clear: Barrack should be immediately declared 'unwanted.' As the TBMM, let us publish a joint statement as soon as possible for the deportation of this individual. Let us stand up to protect our children. Silence is complicity in crime. May God protect our children."
