HE SAID, "TURKS REGRESSED AND DISAPPEARED"
In his speech, Mehmet Beşir Varol used discriminatory and hostile language specifically toward the Turkish nation. Stating that "Turks were once an ignorant, oppressed, and nomadic tribe," Varol claimed that the Ottoman Empire rose thanks to Islam, but later "regressed and disappeared from history because they handed their reins over to Europeans."

While using expressions such as, "The Kurdish nation has always been known for its dignity and honor. It has always championed the religion of Allah and His Messenger," Varol used language that fuels ethnic and sectarian division within society. At the end of his speech, he directed Kurds with a call to "jihad," saying, "Let our sheikhs, tribal leaders, and imams take ownership of their own people."
