Dont multiply their impact by sharing and reacting to their statements.
In my world-view that topic is a non issue.

They were over eager to use the Anti-Turkish momentum for their own gains but you cant change hard facts such as geography...
Personally, I'm on team Ismail Demir, play it safe. Dont oversell. But I understand why Kotil is the way he is.
It's his management style, his character. Nothing wrong with it tbh.
