for "fabricating" liquidation claims targeting his daughter in order to pave the way for her entry into active politics.
"It seems this person has no intention to smarten up and act wisely. So we will speak the language he understands, we will speak bluntly ... There is no need for [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan to opt for such sickening ways if he wants his daughter to enter politics," Bahceli said in an address to his parliamentary group on Feb. 24.
Accusing Erdogan and the pro-government media of using the "victimhood card" before the June 7 elections, he cited news reports printed in two newspapers last week claiming that Erdogan's daughter Sumeyye was being targeted by the movement of U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gulen and the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP). The reports suggested that the Gulen movement and the CHP had together hired a hitman to assassinate Sumeyye Erdogan.
