The tearing of the Turkish flag by the Greek MEP Ioannis Lagos is today on the front page of the Turkish and Turkish newspapers and is commented on with messages of anger and revenge by Turkish internet users.
The whole attitude had to do with immigration.
According to an overview of the Turkish and Turkish Cypriot press by the GTP, the newspaper Sözcü promotes the issue with the headline in Greek "It is a shame and flammable".
For its part, the Turkish Sabah has the title "We will break the hands of those who extend their hand to our flag". He writes that Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu, in a post on his social media account, wrote: "These nationalists know very well that we break the hands of those who reach out to our glorious flag and throw it into the sea."
"Look at this racism," Hurriyet writes that Tsavousoglu said he now expects the European Parliament to do what is necessary for the "clown".
Opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) MP Engin Altai said "filth is unacceptable." Turkish National Assembly Speaker Mustafa Sedop called on the European Parliament to punish the MEP.
In fact, on twitter, many Turkish users drew a parallel with the tragic events of 1996 in Deryneia and the cowardly murder of Solomos Solomos when he tried to lower the flag of the occupation from the web.
"No attack on the Turkish flag goes unpunished. Solomos Solomou, who tried to lower the Turkish flag in Famagusta in 1996, is an example. We will say it again, Ioannis Lage ", writes one in the comment.
Others refer to the destruction of Smyrna and the invasion of July 20, 1974.
