However, the assertions did not go down well with the station’s viewers, as most of them expressed misgivings about the lecturer’s position. Some, as usual, went on social media to reject the lecturer’s perspective.

The negative reactions were so intense that after returning from a commercial break, the host, Pelin Çift could not help, but share in the general view of the audience.
