DEM Party Van MP Pervin Buldan, who was part of the Imralı Delegation that met with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan, reacted to Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mansur Yavaş's remarks—in which he said, "Yesterday, while flags that I consider rags were being waved somewhere in the east, cotton candy was given to those attending that rally"—by calling him a "Fasho."

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality (ABB) Mayor Mansur Yavaş, in his speech at Saraçhane yesterday evening (March 22), recalled police distributing cotton candy at a Newroz event in Cizre, Şırnak, and said, "Yesterday, while flags that I consider rags were being waved somewhere in the east, cotton candy was given to those attending that rally. We expect the law enforcement officers to offer cotton candy to the young people here as well." With this statement, Yavaş was reacting to the disproportionate force used by law enforcement against citizens in Istanbul.

Yavaş's remarks drew a reaction from DEM Party Van MP Pervin Buldan, who was part of the Imralı Delegation that went to meet with terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan during the new peace process.

Buldan quoted Yavaş's speech in a post on her X account and added the note "Fasho."
