MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli said, "Those who cannot accept the Turkish flag should be immediately stripped of their citizenship, their property should be confiscated, and in addition, a closure case should be filed against the DEM Party and the immunity of the separatist MPs should be removed."
"The crescent and star red flag is the symbol of our independence, the National Anthem is the poetic call of our freedom, honor, sense of unity and solidarity," said Bahçeli, adding in his written statement: "Whoever opposes these, whoever has a problem with them, must be held to account by applying the mandatory provisions of the law. Our beloved nation is in a state of outrage in the face of developments. "It is a duty of honor to history, ancestors, homeland and nation to immediately remove the dishonorable people who cannot accept the Turkish flag from their citizenship of the Republic of Turkey, to confiscate their goods and property, to open a closure case against the DEM Party and to remove the immunity of separatist MPs, to stop delaying and wasting time by appointing inspectors," he said.
