Cesme Mayor Lal Denizli, who took the stage, said, "She wants the Turkish flag and Ataturk's poster to be taken down. Don't boo, I think she is not even a person who will tire these beautiful breaths of yours. We have sacrificed too many martyrs to win these lands, and we are people who always believe in and have faith in brotherhood and eternal friendship. No power can attempt to lower our flag or Ataturk's poster. They can't even think about it. Madam, leave the borders of this city immediately. With calmness and tranquility. But I hope she never thinks about taking down the flags of the countries she will visit again, which were obtained with blood and made their symbol, and where they buried many homeland sons. I hope this is a historical lesson for her." he used the expressions.
