During his return from the visit to Azerbaijan, President Erdoğan responded to journalists' questions about claims of rifts within the People's Alliance, stating, "There is no issue between Bahçeli and me. As you know, we will be in Ankara on November 10, Monday. As soon as we return, we will establish our communication and take our steps."
President Erdoğan answered journalists' questions on the plane returning from his visit to Azerbaijan.
In response to a question from journalists regarding the People's Alliance, Erdoğan stated that meetings with MHP leader Devlet Bahçeli could happen at any moment. Erdoğan said, "I won't give a date, but hopefully, with our return to Ankara this week, if we establish contact with the esteemed Chairman and arrange a meeting, I will either pay them a visit or invite them. We will ensure their visit to us. There is no problem between us. As you know, we will be in Ankara on November 10, Monday. As soon as we return, we will establish our contacts and take action."
HARSH REACTION TO ÖZGÜR ÖZEL
President Erdoğan also shared his views on Özgür Özel's recent harsh, threatening, and insulting statements. Erdoğan said, "You know we have a beautiful saying: 'What is in the jug spills out.' I believe you have heard about the lawsuit we filed against what Özgür Özel has done. A lawsuit has been filed. My lawyers are doing a great job following up on it. Recently, we won 200,000 lira in damages from that lawsuit. That will find its place. If we can win this 500,000 as well, it would be even better. Winning these lawsuits without tiring or getting weary is indeed a wise move."
"WE WILL NOT LOWER OURSELVES TO THE LEVEL CHP IS TRYING TO PULL US DOWN TO"
Erdoğan also continued his criticisms regarding the language and habits of the CHP: "The words spoken by the CHP Chairman, the sentences he constructs, and the accusations he makes are actually just descriptions of their own situation. It is a continuation of the habit of feeding off crises, hoping for chaos, and creating conflict to be in the spotlight. This language is not suitable for our state tradition or the dignity of our nation. We will never lower ourselves to the level that the CHP is trying to pull us down to; we cannot. We cannot consider lowering ourselves to this level as appropriate for ourselves, nor can we explain it to our nation."
