“And the western media criticizes it, fearing that one day 1,000 refugees will come to the priceless land of the country 🙂 While living there, no one has the right to insult a country’s flag, nation and people.”
“The comments are very funny, there are more than 5 million Syrians in Turkey, there are not that many Syrians in all European countries. Nobody can be angry with Turkey about this, you have no right to do so. If you are a humanist, take them all instead of choosing refugees.”
“You unintentionally forgot something when you were telling the news in full detail! Turkey does not deport Syrian refugees like many countries do. These seven refugees were deported because they insulted our citizens, our country and most importantly our flag.”
“So #Turkey can send 7 people back but can’t buy food for that poor man?”
