AKP deputy vows to stage continued 'protests' outside media outlets
[Hurriyet Daily News] Justice and Development Party (AKP) Istanbul deputy Abdulrahim Boynukalin, who was among the group of around 200 assailants who stormed daily Hurriyet's building in Istanbul late Sept. 6, has vowed to stage "protests" outside buildings of media outlets if they continue to "whitewash violence with biased news reports.""If [those media organizations] express an attitude that whitewashes violence with biased reports, we will again stage protests in front of them," the state-run Anadolu Agency quoted Boynukalin as saying on Sept. 8. Boynukalin was prominent among the group that attacked daily Hurriyet's building, hurling stones, according to a video shot via a live stream application used on mobile devices. In the video, Boynukalin equates Hurriyet's parent Dogan Group, the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Fethullah Gulen movement as "terrorist organizations. "With God's permission, not only the Aydin Dogan media, but the entire HDP, PKK -- all terrorist organizations -- and particularly the terrorist organization of [Gulen] will get the hell out of here after we make you [Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... ] the president." Posted by: Fred 2015-09-09 |
