"Unfortunately, today Turkey and the Turkish people in Europe bear the consequences of being different … Turkish people, implicitly or openly, are being told this: 'You are different and you have no place among us'," media reports quoted the official transcript of his statement as reading. "Those who have racist and distorted mentalities have no right to degrade democracy and the philosophy of the EU."
„Nažalost, danas Turska i turski narod u Evropi snose posledice zato što su drugačiji… Turskom narodu se implicitno i otvoreno kaže ovo: 'Drugačiji ste i nema vam mesta među nama'“, navodi se u zvaničnom transkriptu njegove izjave, prenose mediji. „Oni sa rasističkim i poremećenim mentalitetom nemaju pravo da degradiraju demokratiju i filozofiju EU.“
