Minister Soylu: “I accepted the criticism”

Yesterday afternoon … I called the Minister of the Interior, Süleyman Soylu … “Why did this happen, Mr. Minister, how did it happen?” I would say … Minister Soylu said, “I received the criticism, I accepted it.”

Minister Soylu spoke about what happened in one or two hours on Friday evening. I asked, he answered … Here are important statements from Soylu …

BECAUSE WE DECIDED: We made a two-day curfew decision on the weekend. Because we thought that this decision would not harm the production and supply chain. In this respect, it is an important decision.

*

LIMITED WASTE: In one and a half or two hours period, there was a clutter in some limited areas. There was a very limited amount of accumulation. It is true. I did not foresee that. I have experience. However, I do not think that this very limited accumulation at that hour will be a big problem.

*

I ACCEPTED THE CRITICISM: The decision taken in terms of timing is a decision of our ministry. I say it one more time: I took the criticism and accepted it. I also accepted the insults.

*

THREE DAYS AGO: We have examined other country examples. In those examples, we saw: Curfews, which were announced two or three days ago, bring a major charge to the markets. We wanted this to happen.

*

WHY NOT 23.59: As of 21.00, markets are closing. Considering this, we announced the ban decision after 21.00. Some say if you had announced it at 23.59. Only then could we face great humanitarian problems. It would be a huge problem for our people who went to visit, went somewhere. It had to be reported a few hours ago.

*

RISK WAS: Our citizen thinks that the ban will continue until the announcement. This is the reason for limited accumulation. But I’m sure that: No matter what method we follow, there would be a risk. As a result, the number of those who went out at that hour was around 250 thousand-300 thousand.

*

EVERYONE AT HOME: As a result, when we looked at, everyone was taken to their homes … This was accomplished by 00.05 at night. No one is left on the streets.

*

THIS NIGHT IS ENDING: The curfew will not go down on weekdays. This is for sure. The ban will expire at 24:00 on Sunday night (tonight).
