Minister Yerlikaya stated the following in a post on his social media account:
"This evening in Saraçhane, 42 individuals who insulted our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and resisted our security forces have been apprehended, and judicial proceedings have been initiated against them.
No one can turn the streets and squares of our country into an arena for attacking the national will.
No one can carry the poison of hatred and provocation into the streets under the mask of freedom.
I strongly condemn this mentality that insults our President."
