Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had become “the new dictator of Turkey.”
“There are 7 billion people in the world. Making mistakes is natural for people and they correct their mistakes, and when it’s needed they apologize. This is a human virtue. If we make a mistake, we know how to apologize. He says ‘I do not make mistakes.’ He says ‘if you do not do what I say, you cannot act right.’ His name is, Turkey’s new dictator, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan,” Kılıçdaroğlu said, addressing his party’s group meeting today in the Parliament.
Kılıçdaroğlu said “young protesters of Gezi Park made a dictator kneel down.”
“Now in a panic he is organizing meetings across the country, all he does is yelling but the only one who listens him is himself. Do not pay attention to all the broadcasters’ live streams from his meetings. Nobody listens to what he says. There is one word when it comes to defining Erdoğan: liar,” Kılıçdaroğlu said.
A hot-headed crowd in the parliament interrupted Kılıçdaroğlu’s words several time by chanting slogans as “Resign Erdoğan.”
Kılıçdaroğlu then said Erdoğan tried several methods to break the solidarity among the protesters.
“He was going to claim that those protesters are nonbelievers, and then he saw some performing their prayers in Taksim Square. He was going to say our daughters wearing headscarves were being the target of protesters, he saw some of the protesters wearing headscarves,” Kılıçdaroğlu added.
Kılıçdaroğlu also blamed Erdoğan for acting with sectarian motives after the Reyhanlı bombings in Turkey’s Syrian border Hatay’s Reyhanlı district which killed 52 people in May 11.
“Our 52 citizens lost their lives in the Reyhanlı bombings. And he said ‘our 52 Sunni citizens lost their lives.’ For the first time in Turkey’s history even deaths’ sects were discriminated,” Kılıçdaroğlu said calling Erdoğan “dictator” one more time and asking “if he has feelings of shame.”
