Guest: Ah-Ah-Ah, serves you right, zagryzit each other, and the benefits let us go, let citizens buy cheap gasoline, let’s trade deficit of our country will decrease.

Mucahit Yilmaz: Is the United States encouraged the Saudis to do this. Spiritually done for the Saudis will come to an end and in the material sense. With oil, Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage of Muslims to Holy sites in Mecca and Medina — approx. lane) stopped, if you stop and Hajj… besides they are lazy, and there is no industry, no production. Then Mecca and Medina will be again, God grant.
