A video that went viral on Twitter showed a woman accusing Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu of serving British interests when she protested his visit to the earthquake zone.

"Get out of here, you British lackey!"

That's how a former deputy from the ruling Justice and Development Party berated Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu when he visited the earthquake zone on Monday.

"Why are you hanging around Turkey, you British lackey?" said former MP Nurseli Reyhanlioglu when she could not hold back against the mayor, as reported by Teyit.org

The incident was captured in a video that went viral on Twitter.

In the video, Karareyhanlioglu accuses Imamoglu of serving British interests and repeatedly calls him a "British lackey"

"Why are you hanging around Turkey? Go and see your Istanbul. Do not come. Get out of here! Go!" she said.

Earlier, a Twitter account close to Imamoglu had stated that the woman in the video was Habibe Ocal, a current AKP deputy.

But teyit.org, a social media fact-checking organization, said this was not true.
