Antisemitism 34

Quote:

„The Gezi events were a project just like the leading person of CHP. It’s a project of treason to fetter Turkey, to obstruct the holy march of our nation. Historians will write how we tore the shroud which was planned for our nation thanks to our unity and fraternity. That person who praised the Gezi events, who glorified the vandals of Gezi, who raised insane accusations against us and who again was the investor of Gezi terrorists is now in jail. The well-known Hungarian Jew Soros has backed him. That man has so much money and has simply instructed some people to divide nations. In the same way, his henchman in Turkey is rich from his father and the one who supports terror – regardless of which type – by any means in order to divide this nation. He is now imprisoned. Why should our justice take someone innocent?”
