Posting on his personal social media account, Harmancı criticized the condescending tone of Saral’s comments, which have sparked widespread outrage.

His full statement read:

**“Keep insulting Turkish Cypriots if you must. Ünal Üstel may treat even your requests as orders, but through him, you attempt to demean a people who have written their own history of resistance.

We have preserved our identity and we will continue to do so; we have existed on this island and we will continue to exist.”**
