“They lack the capability to comprehend”

Bozdağ hosted by state-run Anadolu Agency (AA) Editorial Desk said as follows:

“As if there is no terror in the region, as if the ditches have been dug by aliens, barricades set up by aliens, like government of Republic of Turkey fights against things that don’t exist. That means they don’t have eyes to see, don’t have ears to hear the truth and lack the capability to comprehend.

“I am sure considerable majority of these academics are unaware of what is happening in that region. I don’t think they went and saw. I believe they make evaluations over what certain people tell them. But they shall go, see and assess terror acts in scenes. You launch rockets, tens of rockets on hospital. Doctors, obstetricians, nurses, health staff work for the health of people in there. Don’t you have anything to say against the people who launch rockets? (BK/TK)
