Unfortunately, in the world of 2020, despite this declaration, we are watching with amazement these racist attacks are still experienced by the far-right rhetoric. And on the 72nd anniversary of the signing of this declaration, we actually see the increasing racism and anti-Islamism all over the world as an institutionalization. We see that this is now used and implemented by politicians and politicians personally and deliberately in Europe. Unfortunately, these are very sad pictures for the world. There is no place where they can go with extreme right rhetoric by increasing racism. This will lead both their own country and the world into a mere fight and chaos.

'CULTURAL RACISM IS A CRIME'
Emphasizing that cultural racism is a crime, Usta said, “There is no legal problem with regard to Islamophobia. But this is purely cultural racism, and cultural racism is also a crime. Therefore, we advise the whole world to give up racism and anti-Islamism on this issue. Otherwise, we continue to see many painful pictures on the world human rights day. Like Başakşehir lived. At the point of development of human rights, we invite Europe to act in accordance with this convention they signed again and to make efforts to put them into practice ”.

In this case, the point is an indication that the human rights of Turkey's actually a very successful record. Human rights are still not static and static in progressive, developing and changing processes. That is why we continue and implement our reforms and studies on this subject. We have never had a racist attitude or discourse in our history. When you look at the history of Europe and the west, there is a history of genocide and racism in all of them. But such a thing is out of the question in our civilization. Because we are the representatives of a civilization centered on human. Therefore, our mind is very clear in this regard. We are in hope very much on Turkey and the world a better imagination of Europe's standards, "he punctuated words.
