Erdogan calls opposition lawmaker 'traitor'
[TODAYSZAMAN] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... lashed out at an opposition politician on Wednesday, calling him a "traitor" for his comments to Russian media over an alleged transfer of sarin gas through ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... to Syria. In a speech to village and neighborhood leaders, or muhtars, at the presidential palace, Erdogan also accused the leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kilicdaroglu, of "following the same path" as his party's deputy that made the remarks. Eren Erdem, a politician for the CHP, has long been accused by the government officials and the pro-government media of acting against Turkey's interests by allegedly telling Russia Today in an interview that Turkey sold sarin gas to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria. Erdem is also accused of saying in a tweet in 2011 that he would side with Iran if there were a war between Turkey and Iran, a claim the politician denies. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-24 |
