The person who threw the image of Atatürk on the ground and stomped on it repeatedly was beaten by him while flying.

In Antalya, a person who threw down and repeatedly stepped on an image of the founding leader of the Republic of Turkey, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, was intervened by local tradesmen.

In the incident that occurred in the Güzeloba neighborhood of the Muratpaşa district, a 20-year-old tire repairman named Mehmet Can Sevinç had a customer who began to examine vehicle labels. Upon seeing the label hanging at the door with the printed image of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the customer took the label in hand and showed it to Sevinç, asking why it was hanging at the door.

THREW THE ATATÜRK IMAGE ON THE GROUND AND STEPPED ON IT REPEATEDLY

Then, the person who threw the label on the ground first poured the water from his mouth onto the label and then stepped on it repeatedly with his foot. Meanwhile, Sevinç, who was trying to understand what was happening, jumped over the counter to intervene. As the scuffle that started in the workplace spilled out onto the street, Sevinç was removed by the intervention of bystanders. The person, whose name was not known, ran away from the scene.

"I JUMPED OVER THE TABLE TO INTERVENE"

Describing the events, Mehmet Can Sevinç said, "A foreign customer came to the shop. First, he examined the products, then I looked around. He asked us for water. Then, while looking at the labels we sell, he intervened with the Atatürk label. When I asked what he was doing, he threw the label on the ground and poured the water from his mouth onto it. He approached with mocking attitudes. He also stepped on the Atatürk label with his foot. At that moment, I got very angry, I couldn't stand it and jumped over the table to intervene. I didn't think of anything at that moment and intervened. Then he started to run away, I caught him again. Then bystanders separated us," he said.
