01:10What is your view on the issue that has been played?
01:15Porosity, where is the condition that we want to go to their citizens?
01:19There is none.
01:20It is a slander.
01:22They are not citizens of the country
01:24even though they bought the property in Porosity.
01:27All of this has been answered before.
01:30But it has been repeated.

01:34We do not like slander to be spread during the election.
01:39It is a very irresponsible act.
