Unusual: Erdogan 'off-air' for longer than 24 hours |
2015-06-09 |
[Hurriyet Daily News] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... has unusually stayed off-air from Turkish broadcasters for longer than 24 hours - an unprecedented length of time considering his relentless TV speeches over the past few months before the general election. Erdogan had been appearing on Turkish TV stations as often as three times a day during the campaign season for the June 7 general elections. He even gave a brief, deliberately non-partisan speech at noon on the day he was voting in Istanbul on June 7. After the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which he co-founded, lost its parliamentary majority in the election, Erdogan released a statement calling on all parties to assess the results of the June 7 parliamentary election "healthily and realistically." |
