‘I represent my country in such a difficult and sensitive period in which souls are being taken from us every day by incessant murderous terror. I take the stage on Remembrance Day and Independence Day and the only thing I face is national pride and the desire to show all of Europe that we are here – not just to stay but also to shine. God forbid I boycott any company because it is a people’s livelihood but unfortunately I will not be able to wear a piece of jewelry whose presenter hates my country and throws incessant false accusations at it. I wish everyone quiet days and that we will just continue to be united “
