Garo Paylan, Istanbul Armenian MP from the opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) of Turkey, responded to the mayor of Ankara Melih Gökçek on his Twitter account, News.am reports.
"Cem Özdemir will enter history as Turkey’s pride, and you - as the racist, fascist, shameless," Paylan tweeted.
In one of his interviews German Turk Cem Özdemir, co-chairs of the left-wing Alliance 90/the Greens party, said the only language to speak with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was to put him in his place.
This had angered the mayor of Ankara. Later he wrote on his Twitter that Özdemir is Armenian.
