In his statement following the cabinet meeting, Erdoğan spoke about 17-year-old Atlas, who was stabbed to death.
"IT IS OUR DUTY TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE"
"We want the criminals who murdered our young Atlas to receive the necessary lesson, especially in the judiciary. I want to state that we are determined to fulfill whatever duty falls upon us to ensure this happens.
Just like our young Minguzzi, the incident involving our young Atlas has plunged us into at least as much pain.
