AKP is the source of instability in Turkey: MHP head
2015-10-19
[Hurriyet Daily News] The source of the current instability in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
was the Justice and Development Party (AKP), Turkey's nationalist leader has said while delivering a speech to a huge crowd at an election rally in Istanbul.

"Turkey is going to the polls [again]... It is clear, in the current environment and conditions, the reason for instability [in Turkey] is the AKP," Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) head Devlet Bahceli said on Oct. 18, during his party's election rally in Istanbul's Yenikapi neighborhood, Cihan News Agency reported.

Bahceli said President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had dragged Turkey into the snap polls set for Nov. 1 this year.

"Erdogan and Davutoglu, whose expectations were not met in the June 7 elections, dragged Turkey into an election again," Bahceli said.

Bahceli also remarked on the recent violence which has torn through the country since late July.

"Turkey has turned into bloodshed. Turkey is in trouble," Bahceli said.

Bahceli said the people of Turkey were fearful and anxious, recalling the Oct. 10 twin blasts that killed at least 102 civilians and maimed hundreds of others ahead of a peace rally in the Turkish capital.

"The Oct. 10 suicide kaboom disaster outside the Ankara train station was one of the bloodiest attacks in the history of the Turkish Republic. [At least] 102 [of] our citizens bit the dust and hundreds of others were maimed in this attack. Our country was directed to a fear tunnel," Bahceli said.

Bahceli criticized the caretaker AKP government and expressed his the anger he felt toward terrorist attacks in the country during his speech addressing supporters of his party, who waved Turkish flags and posters of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkey's founder, and Alpaslan Turkes, the founder of the MHP.

"The AKP's interim government is handicapped and blind. Our homeland has turned into a mourning tent. Turkey is surrounded by human-looking monsters," Bahceli said.
