The Chinese Ambassador in Ankara blamed Uyghurs, taking Mr. Qarluq as an example, abroad for lying. The spokesman mentions Mr. Qarluq's posts on Twitter and says that he doesn't know if Mr. Qarluq is Chinese citizen or Turkish citizen, but it is not important; if anyone who is or was a Chinese citizen encounters any problems in China, he or she can come to Chinese Embassy and Chinese Embassy is here to help, that is what an Embassy does. Mr. Qarluq never came to Embassy; if he came, the Embassy would help solve the problems; (but Mr. Qarluq states on a post on Twitter that he has mentioned his family's situation in a meeting between Xinjiang Representatives, among them assistant governor Erkin Turniyaz, and Turkish Representatives, among them Mr. Qarluq; Mr. Qarluq says that especially Zulhayat Ismail who was among the Xinjiang Representatives knew this very well.) The spokesman said that he would look into Mr. Qarluq's family and give an answer to him, but there hasn't been any reply from the spokesman yet.
