Akıncı criticized Hınçal's blocking of entry to Turkey by saying, "The list of those whose entry is not banned should be published, not those whose entry is banned."

Akıncı's statement is as follows:

Since they have extended the list of bans on entry to Turkey to our friend Evrim Hınçal, perhaps the insistent request should be changed. They should publish the list of those whose entry is not banned, not those whose entry is banned. At this rate, there's a good chance it'll be shorter!
