Message from Candan Kaftancıoğlu

“Trolls and female trolls who persistently try to create a perception by calling me 'enemy of the state'; if I was going to become an enemy to something, I would become an enemy to the AKP, but I cannot become even an enemy to it. Because I do not have it in my soul, just like I cannot become an enemy even to you :)

I have the right to criticize what is wrong no matter where it comes from. If I became an enemy to those who do their duties by slandering, insulting, swearing, and lying, I would be like you, that is what I fear most in my life. Neither your mind nor your perspective cannot measure my love of life, nature and country,” Candan Kaftancıoğlu posted on her social media account.
