Those who do not respect Ataturk will always find Turkey and the Turkish nation in front of them, says ruling party spokesman Omer Celik, adding that no one can erase Ataturk from history by tearing textbooks.
In a statement on his Twitter account, Omer Celik said that “the order of the 'e / k administration' to tear down the page referring to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is an expression of hostility to our values represented by Ataturk. . We condemn this disrespect to the Turkish nation and the founder of the Turkish state. “
According to Celik, “this hostile attitude is an anachronistic attitude towards the 'peace at home, peace in the world' approach that Ataturk represents. This barbaric approach of the officials of the Greek Cypriot administration 'is a clear indication of the unwillingness of the Greek Cypriots to live with the Turkish Cypriots. It is a historical fact that the leader of Greece, Venizelos, who was defeated in the war, nominated Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the winner of the war, for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1934 “.
Reminding Greek and Greek Cypriot leaders of this historic legacy, he said, “We call on them to address it. Those who do not respect Ataturk will always find Turkey and the Turkish nation against them. “No one can erase Ataturk from history, who was the inspiration of oppressed nations by tearing textbooks.”

“We strongly condemn this outdated, hostile and unacceptable attitude of the Greek Cypriot administration,” said the Turkish Foreign Minister.
