Ibrahim Kalin

I am deeply saddened by this uncivilized act, which goes against humanistic values and took the lives of civilians, we extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims and the people of New Zealand.

We have seen many times Islamophobic discourse against Islam and Muslims turning into a perverse and murderous ideology. The world must raise its voice against such discourse and must say stop to Islamophobic fascist terrorism.

There's nothing exceptional or surprising about the fact that several thousand people have been arrested.

An issue like the presidential system can't be decided without the nation. If the mechanism requires a referendum, then we will hold a referendum, the executive presidency is not a question of our president's personal future. He has already entered the history books. The basic motivation is to make the system in Turkey as effective as possible.

The subject demands universal attention. The execution orders and carrying them out will push the Middle East into turmoil.
