The Fatal Stabbings of Turkish Teenagers
Istanbul MP, Ümit Özdağ Visited the Survival of the Vicious Attack
Mr Özdağ, an Istanbul MP from the opposition party CHP, shared the sad news with the social media:

Mr Özdağ also visited the other teenage victim, Ali Yasin Ülger. The 16 year old survival told Mr Özdağ that:
A group of Syrian nationals were damaging the public property (garden lamps) and swearing their heads off. We told them there were families and kids around and asked them to watch the tone of their language. A Syrian national, aged 26, walked up to us with his friends and told us that we had a death wish. He pulled a knife out of his pocket started stabbing us.
At least 99 Arrests Have Been Made
The locals of Battalgazi expressed their disappointment and anger at the government and Erdogan's border and nationality policies by smashing the windows of some shops and cars that were believed to be owned by Syrians. The local authorities who failed to provide safety for the Turkish residents, were quick to send out special armed forces in large numbers to the neighbourhood. When the crowds continued chanting against the Syrian mobs, the police initially arrested 76 Turkish residents.
Although no physical harm had come from the local residents, the western media and Turkey's pro-Erdogan press focused on the aftermath of the events, depicting the Turkish citizens who are bearing the brunt of cataclysmic western war policies, as being xenophobic, racist, far-right extremists, pogroms and ultra-nationalists.

Yahya Abdo arrested a day later by the Turkish police. In his statement, he told the police that he did not own a knife but found one on the lawn in the park. He admitted stabbing Emirhan and Ali and told the police that (accomplishing his vicious actions) he felt scared and ran away from the (crime) scene.
