Yerlikaya shared the detail that caused the rebellion! It turned out that the child harassed by the person in Kayseri is a relative.

The events that started with a Syrian national molesting a 5-year-old girl in the Melikgazi district of Kayseri turned the city into a fire scene in the evening. While many businesses and vehicles were set on fire by large crowds until morning, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya provided information about the incidents.

STATEMENT FROM YERLİKAYA REGARDING THE INCIDENTS

In a written statement on social media platform X regarding the incidents in Kayseri, Minister Yerlikaya stated that 67 people were detained as part of the investigation and shared a detail about the disgusting incident.

"AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN LAUNCHED REGARDING THE MATTER"

Yerlikaya, stating that the Syrian individual who molested the girl was her relative, continued his statement as follows: "Yesterday evening, in the Eskişehir Bağları area of Kayseri, Melikgazi, a Syrian national named I.A, who is a relative of the girl, was caught by the surrounding citizens and handed over to the security forces after molesting her. An immediate investigation has been launched regarding the matter.

"THEY DISPLAYED AN ATTITUDE THAT DOES NOT SUIT OUR HUMAN VALUES"

However, later on, our citizens gathered in this area and acted unlawfully, causing damage to the houses, businesses, and vehicles belonging to Syrian nationals in a manner that does not suit our human values. During the intervention of our security forces in these actions, 67 individuals were detained. The crowd dispersed after 02:00.

"WE CANNOT ALLOW XENOPHOBIA"

Turkey is a state of law. Our security forces continue their fight against all crimes and criminals, just as they did yesterday. The esteemed Turkish Justice system gives the criminals the punishments they deserve. It is unacceptable for our people to cause harm to the environment without considering public order, security, and human rights. We cannot allow xenophobia that is not in our beliefs, civilization values, and the record of our dear nation. Respectfully announced to the public."
