We are going through a sensitive period where important developments are taking place.

Our brother Ziya Gültekin was an extraordinary person who was a lover of Üsküdar and loved his district with great passion. He was a popular name both in our organization and in Üsküdar.
“WE HAVE WITNESSED A HATE CAMPAIGN ON SOCIAL MEDIA”
I congratulate Muhammed Emin Sarıoğlu, who was elected as the Deputy Mayor of Üsküdar Municipality in the voting held yesterday, and I wholeheartedly believe that he will serve the people of Üsküdar with love. There are values that make people human, respect for pain is one of them. After the death of our brother Ziya, which saddened us all, we witnessed a vile hate campaign, especially on social media, which appeared to be directed from a single center. A mob devoid of any sense of humanity vomited out all the anger they had accumulated against a person they did not even know. They attacked everyone who fulfilled their humanitarian duty by posting condolences.
