Bagis delivers message of common sense

Prior to a large ceremony in memorial of the 20th anniversary of the Madimak massacre in which 37 people were killed as an angry mob set a hotel building hosting an Alevi cultural conference on fire in 1993, Turkey's Minister for EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis delivered a message of common sense. "There may be some groups who want to manipulate the Alevi people on the anniversary of Madimak incidents. They want to push Turkey into a chaos by manipulating the innocent feelings of Alevis. I ask them not to listen to those provocative people and I call on them to behave sensibly," Bagis said.
