He called it a 'moronic statement': Swift response from AKP's Nihat Zeybekci, who defended trade with Israel, to Yeni Şafak columnist İsmail Kılıçarslan

AKP Deputy Chairman Nihat Zeybekci's remarks regarding trade with Israel have become a major topic of discussion.

"We strongly condemn the massacre, of course, but on the other hand, Israel is a country with which we have a free trade agreement," said Zeybekci, arguing that trade with Israel should be evaluated separately.

Yeni Şafak columnist İsmail Kılıçarslan, reacting to Zeybekci's words, had stated: "Throughout the Gaza process, I have not heard a more idiotic, a more moronic statement than this. He says 'of course' for a genocide. Shame on you. Damn it."

Zeybekci's response to Kılıçarslan's 'idiot' and 'moron' outburst was not delayed.

In a post on his social media account, Zeybekci responded to Yeni Şafak columnist İsmail Kılıçarslan's words without naming him directly:

"You are as much of an idiot as you call your interlocutor, and as much of a moron as you call them a moron. Whatever you deem them worthy of, you are at least as worthy of it yourself. 'The splendor and glory of the mind is kindness and grace.' Regards."

Muhatabına gerzek dediğin kadar gerzek,
Geri zekalı dediğin kadar kadar geri zekalısın.
Her neye layık gördüysen sende en az ona layıksın.
“Aklın ihtişamı, görkemi nezakettir, zerafettir.”
Vesselam.
