Fashion designer Barbaros Şansal had shared a video on social media saying "Are you still celebrating the new year while so many journalists are under arrest, so many children are being harassed and raped, there is so much fraud, bribery and bigots share crap on the streets together with religious annunciators".
Modekar Barbaros Şansal di vîdeoya li ser twitterê parve kiribû de wiha digot: “Îro ev qas rojnameger girtî ne, ev qas zarok tên tecawîzkirin û tacîzkirin, ev qas pêkanînên nerêtî û ruşwetê hene û serhişkan li kolanan behsa qirêjiyê dikin. Ka hûn sala nû pîroz dikin gelo?”
