The whole statement of the KINAL MP, Burhan Baran
As part of the religious Muslim holiday of Ramadan, I attended yesterday, after an invitation to Iftar, the traditional dinner.
The invitation was from the Municipality of Gildirim Bursa and during the dinner as shown in the photo, which I quote, there is no flag of the neighboring country.
This happened suddenly, as the associates of my political office in Xanthi who were present informed me afterwards, at the end of the prayer without any information from me about such an action. After the incident, I even left.
My course as a Member of the Greek Parliament so far has proved that I do my best to be a helper of our harmony and peaceful coexistence in Xanthi.
I will not allow provocative actions aimed only at damaging my prestige and my political career in the light of deceit and racist prejudice against me and the party I represent.
