Kendisinden beklenmedik bir makaleyi gazetesine taşımış bir yayın organı:
''Across Europe, monuments such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Berlin's Brandenburg Gate were illuminated in the colours of the Belgian flag out of respect for the victims. In Brussels, thousands gathered to create an improvised memorial using chalk to write messages of respect and defiance.
However, many pointed out the differences in the way people reacted to the Brussels attacks in comparison to those in Ankara.

Here come the "As a muslim, what do you have to say about #Brussels attack?" No one asked me about Ankara just a few days earlier. SMH.

Very sad and disappointing that Ankara did not receive the same response as Paris or Brussels.

There are two different responses to terror attacks:
A compassionate one for places like #Brussels, a detached one for places like #Ankara.

At least 31 people were killed and 200 injured in the attacks on Brussels. An attack in Ankara last week left three dead, another in February killed 28 and two attacks in January left 18 dead.
Governments were also criticised for the way they reacted to the attacks.
Following the bombings, the Belgian flag was flown at half mast above Downing Street, prompting Yasmin Ahmed to ask, in an article for Indy Voices: “Why didn’t Downing Street raise the Turkish flag after the atrocities in Ankara?”
