Aziz Milletimizin bilmesini isterim ki:
Biz Türkiye’nin Huzuru diyoruz.
Ülkemizin huzurunu bozmaya çalışanlara,
Teröristlere ve onların iş birlikçilerine,
Ulusal olsun uluslararası olsun suç odaklarına,
Birlik ve beraberliğimize kast edenlere
asla ama asla göz açtırmayacağız!… pic.twitter.com/lB9t99RlcW
