An Austrian MP Tells the Turkish Ambassador to Take a Hike | NewsReal Blog

 

Mr. Federal Minister, I want to make a request—and knowing that this debate will be followed closely at the Turkish Embassy, I will give it in the exact wording:

The federal minister for European and International Affairs is requested to declare the Turkish ambassador Kadri Ecvet Tezcan, ‘persona non grata’ and demand his immediate dismissal.  Gentlemen of the Turkish embassy, I am not gonna be as polite as my colleague van der Bellen, falling on my knees speaking of your “excellency.”  No, ‘gentlemen’ of the Turkish embassy—there are no ladies there… ‘Gentlemen’ of the Turkish embassy, members of Parliament, let me begin with a murder case.
