Turkish Airlines Denied My Father Boarding Without Reason

My father lost his passport after going through passport control, and the reason behind it was a last-minute gate change for the flight. Later, I learned that this was done to make space for Jewish passengers arriving from other countries who required an emergency landing. I can’t prove it, but I’m convinced that my father's passport was deliberately withheld to prevent him from boarding the plane. After receiving a call from him, we tried to book another flight at 01:20, but the ticket was priced at three times the normal rate. My father was under stress—he is 70 years old. I feel deeply ashamed of my country and of Turkish Airlines. I’m not an antisemitic person, but I’m upset because it feels like the rules only apply fairly when it comes to Jewish passengers. Are we not equal?
