It is time to shield Erdoğan

On Friday, we were in Nevşehir with Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ. He was asked about the telephone call July 15 fugitive Adil Öksüz received from the U.S.'s Istanbul consulate general six days after the coup attempt and the statement made by the U.S. Embassy. As is known, in the flash statement it made, the U.S. Embassy accepted that Öksüz was called by the consulate general and that this call was directly proportional to the help request that came from the police department to inform him following the cancellation of his visa to prevent him from fleeing. Naturally, Minister Bozdağ asked: “If the U.S. Embassy calls every individual whose visa they cancel via phone call, the embassy should publish a list of all the Turkish citizens who were called after their visas were cancelled.”
