Uzan:"I Stand Behind My Words About Erdogan"
Uzan was occasionally emotional during his appearance. "My father and mother told us when they raised us, ‘don’t afraid of anyone but Allah Almighty; try anything you desire’. You will not make me give up," he said as his eyes filled with tears. On his being banned from leaving the country, Uzan said, "My two sons are being educated abroad. For the summer break, they are here. However, I will not be able to go to see them for their winter breaks. It’s OK. Let it be."
