Emiroğlu strongly denounced the offensive posts circulating on social media platforms, targeting citizens in the earthquake-stricken areas where President Erdoğan and the People's Alliance received significant voter support on May 14. He reminded everyone that this catastrophic disaster had caused immense devastation, resulting in over 50,000 casualties across 11 provinces, including Kahramanmaraş. Emiroğlu emphasized the collective efforts of the entire nation, including institutions, organizations, civilians, and public servants, who came together from the very beginning to provide assistance.
Expressing gratitude towards those who selflessly dedicated themselves to the earthquake-stricken regions and continue to serve with unwavering commitment, Emiroğlu stated: "As a nation, we are indebted to them for their tireless work in minimizing the impact of this major disaster and healing the wounds."
Emiroğlu highlighted the spirit of goodwill and sincere solidarity that was demonstrated in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes, which he regarded as an embodiment of humanity and Islamic values. However, he condemned the actions of a group of individuals who, devoid of any humanity, began targeting the earthquake victims solely based on their political preferences, making incomprehensible and unfounded evaluations regarding the election results.
He criticized those who hypocritically advocate for respecting people's thoughts and choices, as well as avoiding discrimination based on political identities, stating that they are unfair, dishonest, and lack respect for the suffering endured by millions of people. He further expressed disgust towards the hate speech and divisive language employed by these individuals towards grieving citizens, driven solely by their failure to achieve desired political gains from the disaster. Emiroğlu called out their inhumane mindset and expressed shame for their actions, emphasizing that the nation has witnessed their dirty plots.
In conclusion, Emiroğlu condemned the insults targeted at earthquake victims on social media and publicly declared their intention to pursue legal action against the identified perpetrators of such posts, as determined by their legal team. (ILKHA)
