Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek declared in an interview aired on television that he has taken legal action against 600 of his Twitter followers who had insulted him, daily Hürriyet reported.
"It's me who tweets, not someone else in my place and I sue those who insult me. There are about 600 people now that I’ve sued. In the beginning we weren't able to catch them with the speed of social media, but now we can. We caught approximately 80 percent of those who have insulted me. When you give their names and accounts to police, they find themselves in front of prosecutors. But if they apologize publicly, then I say they're young and forgive them," said Gökçek.
