The cases of prostitution, drugs and alcohol in Edirnekapı Martyrs' Cemetery froze one's blood. It was also stated that there were cases of prostitution and harmful substance use in the martyrdom, as well as drug trafficking. Milli Gazete, which received information from the citizens on the subject, learned that the disgraces in question had been going on for a long time, and the citizens demanded that the authorities take action and prevent the ugliness in question.
A new disgrace has emerged in Turkey, where adultery has been legalized in line with the demands of the European Union. Edirnekapı Martyrs' Cemetery, where -many sons of the homeland who were martyred for the sake of religion, homeland and nation- are buried, became a frequented place for prostitutes.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in a statement he made in 2018, used remarkable statements regarding the release of adultery. Stating that they made adultery free in line with the demands of the European Union, President Erdoğan stated that these steps were wrong and that the issue would be discussed again.
Erdogan, on the subject, "I think it would be very appropriate to re-examine the subject of adultery. Because this society has a different position in terms of spiritual values. In the EU process, this is a self-criticism, I have to say it; We have made a mistake in this regard that we should evaluate these harassments and so on within the same scope, by making the regulation regarding adultery," he has said.
