AKP Deputy Chairman and Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik reacted on his X account to the use of insulting language directed at Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the office of the Sur Municipality in Diyarbakır.
In his post, Çelik stated, "Our stance and position against those who engage in such ugly approaches are clear."
