Umit Ozdag Continues to Incite against Refugees

The head of the Zafar Party, Umit Ozdag, wrote on his Twitter account, inciting against the refugees, saying that he had received a message from a citizen saying:

I signed up for a kickboxing gym. Most of the visitors are women and almost all of them come to the club out of fear of asylum seekers. Ozdag added that some of the women who come to the club are very upset because there is a silent development targeting females in the country and they are coming to train in order to protect themselves.

Umit Ozdag is accused of racism and hatred against foreigners, through his campaigns against refugees.

Turkish tweets are angry at Umit Ozdag, saying, “You have no topic to discuss except the issue of refugees, you will not even reach the position of mukhtar.”

Turkish tweeters commented on the statements of the opposition, Umit Ozdag, who has continuously targeted refugees in general and Syrians in particular. The Turkish tweeters expressed their anger at Umit Ozdag because of his only project that he seeks to present, which is the refugee deportation project, as one of the tweeters commented to him: “With this plan, which does not go beyond the issue of the deportation of refugees, you will not even reach the position of the mukhtar.” Another tweeter commented: “You are very strange, yes, there is harm to this country of refugees, but you make this harm the focus of the attention of 80 million citizens. We have many problems that need to be solved and far from refugees, including: the economy – the rights of health workers and others – education problems. Where are you in all of this, your thoughts are only limited to deporting refugees.”
