Reacting to the news and footage shared following the attack, journalist and author Can Serhat Halis made a striking assessment on his social media account.
Halis criticized the rapid spread of footage concerning the attackers, the hostages inside, and the moment of the incident while the attack was still ongoing.
'THE REASON FOR THE PERSISTENCE IS UNDERSTANDABLE'
Halis used the following expressions in his post:
“While the attack is still ongoing, videos of the attackers, the moment of the attack, the hostages inside, and footage from the building's security cameras are being served rapidly. There is a persistent desire for the horror to be seen. When the remark ‘our votes increased after the explosion’ is remembered, the reason for this persistence becomes understandable.”
While the attack and the subsequent posts have sparked debates in the public eye, security forces are continuing their efforts to shed light on the background of the attack.
