The footage captured by two young foreign girls in a cemetery in the city center of Antalya has sparked significant outrage. The images recorded by security cameras show the girls entering the cemetery in casual clothing and then undressing. Citizens whose relatives are buried in the cemetery expressed their disapproval, stating that such behavior is unacceptable.
Two foreign young girls in Antalya shared videos of themselves playing cards and drinking cola while sitting on a gravestone on their social media accounts. The video, shared with the note "It was nice to drink cola with someone who died 15 years before it was invented," quickly resonated widely on social media.
THEY ENTERED THE CEMETERY IN DIFFERENT CLOTHES
The incident was also captured by security cameras. In the footage, the young girls are seen entering the cemetery in casual clothes, while the video shared on social media shows them changing into different outfits after entering, sitting on gravestones, playing cards, drinking cola, and changing their clothes at the graveside.
"IT IS CLEAR THAT EDUCATION IS LACKING"
As the footage spread, citizens visiting the cemetery reacted strongly to the situation. Visitors stated that such behavior in a place where the dead should rest in peace is unacceptable, expressing sadness over the young people's disrespectful actions.
Cavit Aktan, who came to visit the graves of his relatives, said, "There is nothing appropriate about this in terms of our manners, traditions, or moral values. I condemn it. It is a big problem for families to raise their children this way. It is clear that education is lacking," he said.
"SHAME ON THEM"
Another citizen who was present at the cemetery during the incident stated, "It's not a nice thing. They are playing cards in the cemetery; is that acceptable? Shame on them," he expressed.
Gülcan Elçi, who came to visit her relative's grave, said, "Such disrespect towards our deceased is unacceptable. If someone did something like this at my relative's grave, I would be very upset. Can you play cards where the dead are resting? It's wrong. It's not in accordance with our religion, but the current youth do not understand," she said.
THEY LEFT THE COUNTRY
Following the footage of the two foreign young girls taken in the cemetery and published on social media, a statement was made by the Antalya Police Department. The statement revealed that the individuals had left Turkey, and it was determined that the incident was carried out by foreign nationals E.S. and K.Y. at Andızlı Cemetery, and that they had departed from Turkey to go abroad on March 10, Monday. The statement also noted that legal action had been initiated against the individuals for the crime of 'Inciting Hatred and Hostility' under Article 216 of the Turkish Penal Code.
