“I do not want to cast a shadow on the peace-loving policy of our country by my actions. I have thought a lot over these days and deeply understand the feelings of everyone who condemns my act. Once again I want to emphasize that my comment was inappropriate in the light of today’s difficult events. Thus creating difficult situation in the eyes of society. In this regard, I fully share the official position of the party. Being aware of my personal responsibility, I decide to resign as a deputy. I sincerely apologize to all compatriots and fellow party members for the mistake,” Bashinskaya wrote on her Facebook.
It should be noted that earlier Anna Bashinskaya, in the comments under a post on Facebook, “recommended” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “to attack Turkey instead of Crimea.”
Anna Bashinskaya later deleted her comment and apologized. “I thoughtlessly wrote a commentary on the statement of the President of Ukraine … I had absolutely the wrong idea when I wrote about Turkey. I apologize to the fraternal Turkish people!” she wrote.
