2015-10-05 |
[Hurriyet Daily News] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has become a state of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), with all means of the Republic of Turkey, from its president to low-ranking government officials, working on behalf of the AKP, Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal Kilicdaroglu has said. "The AKP has become a state in itself, and now we have a confrontation between an oppressive state and citizen advocates of democracy on the table," Kilicdaroglu told daily Hurriyet on Oct. 3 on the sidelines of his first election rally in the southern province of Mersin. Kilicdaroglu said there was a Turkish state with all its means and organs, from the president to the administrative officials of the lowest rank, working on behalf of the AKP. "Civil servants and governors openly declare that they are AKP's Kilicdaroglu said Turkey was not experiencing a normal democratic struggle and that voters should bear this in mind before the Nov. 1 election. "All of us would want to wake up to a beautiful Turkey on the morning of Nov. 2. We want to wake up to a [new] Turkey," Kilicdaroglu said, adding that the common desire of all people was to have a country with full democracy and an end to oppressive administration. Kilicdaroglu also made remarks on the Kurdish grinding of the peace processor. "[The Kurdish issue] is the main problem of Turkey. It is politics that should solve this problem. We have bills to propose in our roadmap [to solve this problem]," Kilicdaroglu said, stressing that the CHP would take the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) as the negotiating party, not Kandil. |
