QA-59, 29 June 2020, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Hami Aksoy, in Response to a Question Regarding the Rag Hung on the Statue of Atatürk in front of the Residence of Turkish Embassy in Washington
It is certain that our glorious history and the dear memory of Great Leader and founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who has an undisputably exceptional place in world history, cannot be overshadowed through such repugnant acts.
Our Embassy in Washington launched the necessary initiatives to ensure that an investigation will be opened against the perpetrators of this detestable act before the US Authorities.
