Orhan Karasu, the owner of the workplace, said, "After leaving my workplace in the evening, a person comes with a motorcycle around 01:30 at night. He is trying to burn my tractor and my vehicles. This is a shame. I have been a tradesman for 35 years. I have never been enmitious with anyone until now, I have not done harm to anyone. It is sad that such incidents happen.
I want those who did this to be punished. My tractor is on fire here. There are 8 apartments with natural gas in the building. If there is an explosion, the collar itself and those living in the building will be damaged. They also shot my shop before.
I don't know who has enmity with me. I don't owe anyone. They beat my child twice to scare me. They pierced my natural gas pipe and burned my tractor lastly. There is no such attror. My heart is burning.
The person who carried out the attack caught fire when he poured the gasoline he poured on himself to burn my tractor. When his own motorcycle caught fire, he left it and ran away on foot by taking off his coat. People need to be sensitive. I want the police officers to examine the cameras and be caught as soon as possible," he said.
