| [Hurriyet Daily News] The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) will do anything to stay in power, including committing political murder, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s main opposition leader has said. "Turkey is step by step sliding towards an authoritarian regime," Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu told a group of news hounds late on March 12 in the Seferihisar district of Aegean Izmir province. "The AKP is currently in a position that it may do everything not to leave power, including [committing] political murder," he said, adding, "Because the party knows the cost of dropping out of power." Kilicdaroglu has been criticizing the AKP, and especially President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... , over the diminishing fundamental rights and freedoms in the country and their efforts to shift the country’s current parliamentary system to a presidential one. "Turkey is on the verge of grave danger. This is a problem not only for the CHP but for everybody," the main opposition leader told news hounds. "I’m deeply concerned with the path the country is headed down, and I can say this here freely because I personally shared my concerns with [Prime Minister Ahmet] Davutoglu. Turkey is being administrated by third class cadres; the merit system in the state has been destroyed. I have serious concerns about who holds the power within state institutions. The Turkish Republic, unfortunately, has turned into an AKP state." |
