Then Sesmi Mayor Lal Denizli took the stage saying that Despina Vandi did not go to the stage.Because he wants to put down the Turkish flag and the Atatürk poster». He asked the audience not to “repress” him because, he said, “I don’t think he’s the kind of person to waste your breath on.”

“We sacrificed many martyrs to win these lands, and we are those who believe that brotherhood and eternal friendship will always win,” the mayor added, adding that “no force dares to take over,” according to the Turkish NTV network. Neither our flag nor Atatürk’s poster is down. He can’t even imagine it. The woman must leave the city limits immediately. Take it easy, take it easy. But I hope that wherever he goes, he will not think of taking down the blood-won flag of that country, the flag that so many children of the country have sacrificed their lives to make it a symbol of this country. I hope this will be a history lesson for him.

The TEV Foundation Choir finally appeared on stage and joined the audience in singing “The Entry of Smyrna”, a song mainly adopted by nationalist Kemalists, celebrating Kemal Atatürk’s entry into Smyrna and the defeat of the Greek army in 1922.
