Oh! Don’t go there.
It is rare to see such as the post. I am glad to visit your site. Thanks for sharing the informative information through the article. and all the details are awesome and good in this post.
Kanter’s father is currently imprisoned by the Turkish government- and since Kanter has openly spoken against them they have threatened to kill his entire family if he should ever attempt to visit Turkey again.
Not to mention that they would also imprison him- torture and kill him.
But nah. Omar obviously knows better.
