Opposition leader makes important evaluations about political situation in Turkey

CHP leader KILICDAROGLU has given an interview on a national TV channel about the latest picture in Turkish politics. Down below are important headlines from CHP leader’s statements made in the interview:

-Elections will be held in 2023. If the election is going to be on this date, is there a need to debate who will be the presidential candidate

-If you reduce the discussion to a person’s base, you will give up the principles.

-Will your principles be accepted or not (this is the important point)?

-We want a return to the democratic parliamentary system. We want a consistent balance between legislative and execution.

-What we are doing is, “We put these aside and discuss who will be the candidate for President.

-We find this discussion absurd. First, we must agree on the principles.

-These discussions are artificial and directed by the government. Turkey should return to economy, which is the real agenda.

-When Abdullah Gul’s name is mentioned, they are afraid, why are they afraid?

-This is not something to discuss. Let’s sit down and discuss it if the election is to be held in 4 months.

-Both Erdogan and Bahçeli say that elections will be held on time. Then we’ll wait.

-We have to discuss what to do and how, while we wait. Discussion on a person basis is not correct. –

-We won’t simply ignore our alliance with our partners and nominate candidates, on our own.
