In his speech, the MP called for the “extermination of the PKK and Fetö”. “Just as we will not give them the right to live in Turkey, we will not give them the right to live in Germany either. They are two very dangerous teams. One is the PKK, atheistic enemies of religion. The other is Fetö, a vile terrorist organization that wants to change, distort and Christianize the Muslim faith. You have to be vigilant,” said Mr Atsikgyez, ahead of the June 18 elections.
