00:19We have given a good statement to the police and I would like to thank the police
00:24for carrying out a very good investigation.
00:28My response is that these are very sensitive matters
00:34that we have reminded many times.
00:36If we want to maintain the harmony of our country,
00:40these sensitive matters cannot be directly touched.
00:44And my statement is a statement of retaliation
00:47to the statement issued by the YP,
00:51we do not attack anywhere.
